Being poor is so much fun because you’ll find a huge sale on something your family eats a lot of and want to stock up only to realize you don’t have stock up kind of money despite people yelling at the poor to “just shop the sales.” 🙃

My 7yo as we’re reading A Series of Unfortunate Events: “I can’t believe Count Olaf is back!” Me staring at book 2 of 13: hahaha, right?

I’ve started naming my indoor plants after deities from different pantheons and was trying to think of a name for my ponytail palm when my 7yo suggested ‘Hera.’ I figured it was just because she adores Greek mythology (she named another plant Athena) but no, it’s because ponytail = hair = Hera. Lmao

I miss the days you could select “don’t show this again” and things would actually stop being shown to you. Nowadays everything just waits 3 days before asking the question yet again.

If you still reference Harry Potter in the year of our lord, 2026, my knee-jerk reaction is to assume you are NOT a trans ally and that I wouldn’t be safe around you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m naturally a toewalker. It hasn’t bothered me enough to change it until now. I’ve recently gotten back into roller skating and skating toes first makes me less stable as well as hurts my feet. But damn! Walking heels first is a workout!! It uses an entirely different set of muscles!!! 🛼

My autism says odd numbers are bad but my paganism prefers multiples of 3s at all times. And idk why but I don’t like 12 very much. 18 is fine but often too big/high a number, same with 30.

Writing stories where the main characters have beef with gods is annoying because you run into moments where using “god” as an expletive wouldn’t make sense but then “for fucks sake” would be too much for what’s going on. 😭

Working on a free verse poem about the myth of Daphne and Apollo and I’m reading Stephanie McCarter’s translation of the Ovid. My annotations currently just say “what the fuck??”

My kiddo and I started reading A Series of Unfortunate Events tonight before bed and I’m so happy I could cry. I’ve been waiting for this moment since the day she was born. It’s truly the best series. 😌

I’ve decided to make podfics for all of my fanfics because I want them to be as accessible as possible. My dyslexic self that loathes reading aloud is already regretting this decision.

The hardest part of being a parent is not saying “I told you so” every 5 minutes. 🫠

I want a #writer friend or group that I can talk to about writing and will help keep me accountable to my goals with daily check-ins. But as a friend, not a coach. And I need them to at least respect that my fanfiction is just as important to me as my “original” work.

Anyone have any idea how to go about forming a Socratic circle? Currently I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a person real when divorced from action and others perspectives. I’d love to have a discussion about it. No judgement or trying to change minds, just want to bounce thoughts around.

I’ve been collecting small objects for a charm-based oracle set and yesterday I let my 7 year look through what I have so far. Today, I opened my little set to find she’s added one of her own pieces of quartz to it. Guess I have something to represent love and family now! 💗 #Divination #Witchymom

ADHD is singing along to your alarm and forgetting what it was going off for, lmao.

Me: Go get your bonnet on and get ready for bed 7 year old: Hold on Me: it’s almost bedtime already, we don’t have any more time to hold on. 7 year old: You get to say hold on all the time so I do too. Civil rights!

What do my fae MCs and I have in common? None of us understand gender.

POTS is such a silly condition because what do you mean my ability to think clearly is dependent on something hugging my stomach tight enough?

I said I'd share my oc's so here they are for WIP Wednesday. 🙈 Henrik and Julian are literary rivals and fake dating for a conference. ♥️♥️

This morning before school I asked my 7 year old to change pants cause the pair she was wearing had 2 decent sized holes in them and just goes “why? Pants having holes in them is a style.” I swear I could feel the pair of ripped skinny jeans in my dresser staring at me.

#AboutMe 🌈 I’m a: 🌈 queer writer (OG & fanfiction), 🌈 folklore & mythology enthusiast, 🌈 abolitionist, 🌈 AudHD, learning disability triple threat, 🌈 pagan (celtic lokean), 🌈 player of RPG & cozy video games, 🌈 low demand parent, 🌈 and I love all forms of art & storytelling! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Sure, I’m American but if I ever spell “grey” any other way I’m being held hostage and it’s a call for help.

Nobody tells you that the hardest part of writing is not spoiling your work for everyone around you. 😔

Started plotting out what was supposed to be a basic fantasy novel only for me to realize it’ll work much better as an epic. Soooo, I’m letting it marinate while I write the Selkie duology I have planned because I’m nowhere near confident enough to do it justice yet. 😅

I’m autistic as in if we’re having a discussion and you have a different definition of something than the dictionary does, I’m going to need that information upfront otherwise I will be going off the actual definition.

“You’re not a real author if all you write is fanfiction.” Ma’am your favorite book is Song of Achilles??

My best friend said I need to read less fanfiction and more published books with new characters so I get out of my comfort zone. Ma’am, I am autistic. Living is outside my comfort zone.

My Heathen group’s Yule gathering is tomorrow so I’m writing my Roasts, Toasts, and Boasts for it. My Boasts: 1. Didn’t kill myself. 2. Didn’t kill anyone else. 3. Wrote and published 70k words in 4 months.

Explaining to my kiddo why we say “happy holidays” to people we don’t know instead of assuming they celebrate Christmas feels surreal when my mom used to get mad at me if I wrote “Xmas” and not CHRISTmas.

When I say I want to be a filmmaker, I mean I want to write a book that I turn into a screenplay before I turn it into a film that I work on as a costumer, prop maker, makeup artist, set designer, cinematographer, and director.

I just finished watching 100 Nights of Hero and I think Julia Jackman just became one of my favorite directors. Holy shit. It was SO GOOD.

My endocrinologist was praising me because it looked like I lost 30 pounds in the last 5 months. Except, I’ve actually been working my mental ass off to MAINTAIN my weight for the last 2 because my ED is back and those 30 pounds were lost in a 3 month time span. 🙃

I think ALL medical professionals need have at least a basic understanding of eating disorders considering how most of them are convinced weight loss solves all health problems.

You might be able to escape Christianity but VeggieTales songs will haunt you all of your days.

When my kid started public school, I thought i'd be able to finally work my way out of burnout. So far, that hasn't happened, but I have concluded that being a full-time parent kept me too busy to realize how depressed I actually am. So, that's been fun.

Actually, I don't want to learn anything new about myself, thanks.

For as rare as my therapist having to cancel our appointment is, it always happens on a week I have something big to discuss. 🙃

Just checked audition information for a local community theatre. If you’re cast in a show they require a performance fee of FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!!! That is absolutely insane.

Me: Nah, I’m over that friend breakup, it was years ago. Also me: HAVE ANOTHER DRINK AND DRIVE YOURSELF HOME. I HOPE THERE’S ICE ON ALL THE ROADS AND YOU CAN THINK OF ME WHEN YOU FORGET YOUR SEATBELT AND AGAIN WHEN YOUR HEAD GOES THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD

“Be comfortable in your own skin!!” okay but my skin has like 5 different chronic issues at all times sooo

How many virtual appointments do I need to have with my new therapist before it’s cool for me to show up with my hair a mess? Lmao

Please ignore the bags under my eyes I keep them packed in case I have to get out of town quickly.

Is my face red at the gym because I’m working out or because the rivals just became lovers in the fic I’m listening to? The answer is yes.

What exactly is the purpose of a protest if it has a set start / end time and you got a permit for it? Genuinely asking.

I’m playing Persona 3 Reload for the first time and I’ve been waiting to meet Ryoji the entire time. I’m 45 hours into the game and he has yet to make an appearance. 😭

My ringtone for my ex when I was 21 was always Hot and Cold by Katy Perry and that really should have been seen a the sign it was lmao

One of the most frustrating parts of being an autistic mom raising an autistic kid is all the local playgroups for autistic kids are chock-full of Autism Speaks, puzzle pieces, and “Autism Mamas.” Can we do the bare minimum research into the current culture of the neurotype your child has, please?

One of the most frustrating parts of losing weight as someone in ED recovery is the amount of people that will comment on it repeatedly despite you asking them not to mention it. 🙃
