I'm sorry but Paddington Bear is a better role model than Andrew Tate. Paddington is kind and polite. he spends an entire summer working in the hopes of buying a book for his great-aunt. and he has not been credibly accused of sex trafficking.

You may not believe in yourself, but you absolutely have the dark temperament, mossy aura, crooked fangs, and terrifying appetites to be a very good forest horror, swamp creature, or castle haunt if you want. I believe in you.

I have two reading moods: 1. I’ll devour anything in sight. 2. None of the 2,000 books on my shelf feel right. And there is no in between. #Booksky

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Autistic people live in a world that isn’t designed for us. This can lead to burnout, especially for those who mask a lot or are undergoing big life transitions. Recognising the signs of #autistic burnout can help you understand what’s happening and how to manage it. #autism #AuDHD

The #AuDHD experience of Did you get what you needed done today? No. Did you have fun or relax instead? Also no. (Instead, I spent the entire time stressing and unable to get my brain functioning, so now I’m consumed by shame and anxiety) #ADHD #autism

I’m ill. I don’t just seem to catch colds like regular folk. I feel like death and I’m stuck in a sensory nightmare. Plus I’m craving Pop Tarts. #audhd #neurodivergent

I can’t stress enough how much AI is ruining the internet. Pinterest is un-usable, Google image searches are overrun with misleading slop. It’s estimated that there are now more bots on the web than there are people. We have seen a wonderful thing destroyed in our lifetimes.

Does anyone else tally up the most frequent tarot cards that appeared in their personal readings the previous month? My stalkers for January were the temperance card and the three of cups #tarotsky #tarot

I always found the 60s fascinating, and Marianne Faithfull was a huge part of the magic of that era. RIP. Photo by David Redfern. #mariannefaithfull #60s

Being neurodivergent is like being a bad cake. Add executive dysfunction to anxiety and RSD. Mix in sensory issues, overstimulation, and the inability to keep up with daily tasks. Burn with self-criticism, and frost by intensely masking, which exhausts you. #audhd #adhd #neurodivergent

Is everything terrible right now? Pretty much. But if you try to focus on all of it, you will not be able to function. So do what you can to make the world a better place to exist in- in the ways that you can & forgive yourself for what you can't. Doing something is always better than doing nothing.

Read an occult book yesterday with a bunch of rituals, but there was a magic word you needed, that wasn’t provided, because it’s a closely guarded secret. Ok, I’ll just stick to chaos then. #occultsky

Have you had a successful author slide into your DMs lately? Watch out for this scam. People are impersonating (mostly midlist) authors on here, striking up conversations, and eventually offering to connect you with their "marketing team." It's fake 🐴💩 #booksky #writingcommunity

My dog Betty can sense when I’ve finished my tasks and need a rest. Then she comes and bothers me for treats, walkies, or belly rubs. She’s adorable though. #dogsky #dogs

I hope you're ok today. I hope you're safe and warm, and surrounded by books and friends. I hope your fangs have tasted the dark fabric of life and your tentacles will one day spread across the cosmos.
