26-30/52 three of the Brothers Sinister books and two of the Worth Saga, all by Courtney Milan. It hasn’t been a *productive* weekend, certainly, but it hasn’t ‘alf been a fun one.

Hello! I was thinking of you yesterday, weirdly 💜 it’s so lovely to see you!

25/52 a beautiful story, or a collection of stories, about what it means to be a family, what it means to be a community, with all the love and the hate and the longing and the resentment that’s inextricable from it and from you. Hell of a read.

Going for hospital tests on Wednesday. I need to find my ‘I need clear instructions’ badge because I am remarkably stupid when I’m overwhelmed and scared.

Pawsitive Pins on Etsy do great badges for the #neurodivergent among us 😁

24/52 Mr Collins in Love: @leewelchwriter.bsky.social. Golly but that was a delight, and hurt my heart with the happy ending of it. I long for communication so easy and honest - or, not easy, but *brave*. A gorgeous read that salvaged Austen’s unsalvageable and made it something beautiful. #BookSky

Reading @leewelchwriter.bsky.social’s Mr Collins in Love and I see myself so much in his evident neurodivergence and I am fairly certain I won’t make it through this book without weeping. This is standard for Lee’s books, I won’t lie.

23/52 everyone recommends this one for a reason. Everyone should read this one, too.

Prolonged absence because I have been sick for a month and have to get tested in the hospital and what does that mean? That means Prolonged Comfort Fanfic Reading, folks. How to be an antiracist, Silk and Power are all languishing unread by my bedside while I languish upon it 😁👍

Sometimes I run out of life for a bit - the plans run out, as does the energy for making them, and everything winds down. It’d be good if I had a better strategy for restarting the clockwork than self-flagellation but hey, at least I’m awake again. 🌞
