Go buy Tylenol today, for sure, but also more than anything else go buy or preorder a book written or illustrated by an autistic creative.

I've been very Not Online lately due to some god awful health problems I've been dealing with over the last month or so but today I finally got some test results that answer what's been going on. The next few weeks are going to suck, but maybe after that I'll finally start to feel human again! ๐ค๐ค
