Thanks so much for your patience as I lounged on the sofa and Matt did busy, actually-very-important things at his grown up job 💕
In other news, we are heading to the cat shelter today in the hopes of adopting this absolute perfect specimen. Wish us luck!

I loved Sorcerer to the Crown, I'll see if I can find her others at the library! Rosewater put me off reading Tade Thompson tbh, I wasn't wild about it 😅 I'd never heard of Eliza Chan so adding her to my list, where Helen Oyeyemi has been languishing for too long! Thank you!

I love that the more I get into crosswords, the more things show up where I ask, "How does this work?" and the answer is, "Several ways at once, and sometimes none of those at all" 😂 But that's part of the fun!

I didn't realise cryptics were popular in the US! Is there a lot of difference between the two styles?

Pushing back on this bullshit is part of setting professional boundaries! Someone once sent me their criticisms of MA on Tumblr and I was like... There's a time and a place for critiquing and this isn't it. Feel free not to like it, but don't tag me in it/put it in my inbox!

for me its usually because its something that feels "stupid" (its not, its normal!!!) and also that doesnt have any solution except "just find the thing" which is... not a helpful plan 😅 it helps me to laugh at my amazing adhd superpowers to lose things no matter how unlikely, at incredible speeds!
