Photo manipulation is a possibility and stylised is OK, so long as it's not cutsy/ youthful/ cozy fantasy vibe styles. The styles of some recs I've had previously would put PG vibes on the cover of my MA 15+ novels, so I'd be looking for a non-manga/ non-anime inspired style.

More details (full blurb) of the first book I'd want a cover for on this page.

It was indeed. And the newly wed's affectionate labrador was thrilled when friends and family came to him/ their home for the after party.

Yes, my ADHD would tolerate that for... 10 seconds? Maybe 5 🤔 🤪.
I'm still using Word.

So this is the lose all your teeth faster option? (I can't unwatch a doco I saw about people who drink for too much of the stuff).

Ouch. I'm lucky I have few enough books there (having switched to Kobo a year ago) that I can just buy them again on Kobo.

I'd say probably post them on this one, unless that's your main income source, and you want to post generally about arts and crafts too, and build connections specifically within that corner of Bsky.

I suspect your 'someone' can't tell the difference between a person struggling to recognise social/ emotional cues, and because of that being unsure how best to respond to other's emotions, vs. a person who does not experience sympathy and empathy.

Living in a share-house in your thirties certainly helps. Most of my housemates over the last five years have been asexual and aromantic.

Hi. Aro as writer here! And there may be a few more in my Aromantic People Starter Pack, if you'd like to be added to that?

I get that. I'm amazed when people open my newsletters within minutes of sending. (To my AuDHD brain, enabling email notifications on my phone would be overstimulation hell 😉).

Its not even a reason for it.

Same, though in my case it was also ADHD meds reducing my distractibility and forgetfulness made the autism easier to spot.

I'm sure some people claim their reader magnet, have no idea who the first newsletter is from (or why) and run away.

I suspect certain circles (and cowardly media) will speak of his 'autistic slips' until the general public has had so much exposure to fascist behaviour that's its been normalised. It seems remaining ignorant of #actuallyautistic at this point means being conned.

Welcome to Bsky. Just added you.

Hmmm, that kind of one ups me using umbrella labels of both because my ADHD got bored before I dug deeper and found anything that stuck 😆.

If your body's up to it, maybe power through the day to knock your body out, then sleep early?
Worked alright for me Tuesday, though the last hour at work was a bit tricky.

I don't see any threat from it, though it could be a good measure of how many Aussies have joined that cult.

Scary thought that. I see people complaining he's copying Trump as is if they think Dutton isn't.
