I’ll add doggo headbutts and hair nibbles.

Cat headbutts of affection are such a lovely thing ❤️

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 6d

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

Whenever my mini bernedoodle stands up and tries to put her paws up on my shoulders, I swear she’s emulating a human hug. She also loves nibbling my hair, which I’ve decided is her way of kissing *me* on the head. 🥹🥰🐶

Demon King’s Army? More like Demon King’s junior varsity touch football club.

(no offense to any real JV touch football clubs. 😉)

Thank you so much! I’m quite proud of it, and the song is SO fun to act out.

Just a little Luidaeg cosplay, imagining her first encounter with the merlins about to become Selkies.

" ...there is no crisis.

The rise in diagnoses reflects a long-overdue recognition of #neurodivergence — particularly among girls, women, and people of color who were historically overlooked — rather than a sudden explosion in neurodivergent individuals."

Ohmigosh, what a sweet as pie fluffball, indeed! I love the wings, and his cozy expression!

NeriSiren @nerisiren.bsky.social · 5d

Aww! I love her expression. She always did give me a very cozy/cottagecore vibe!

What about a writer *from* California who moves to Maine?

I also saw this one first! I hadn’t even heard of “Somewhere Out There” until this one Storytime in 3rd(?) grade. We were discussing lullabies in kids’ movies. The reader asked for an example from American Tail and I’m like, “Dream to Dream!!! 🖐️😃”

Been focusing on short stories & #picturebooks as #selfcare. This #AuDHD Goblin’s been struggling with long-form focus lately. I did just start Katabasis, by R.F. Kuang, and have the new October Daye on my Nook. Just taking it slow, for now. 📚💙 #booksky #readinglog #fallreads #goblincore #labyrinth

The Abiyoyo episode hit me especially hard in the “Ohmigod I remember that!!!” zone. 🌈📖✨

NeriSiren @nerisiren.bsky.social · 11d

NBD, just watched a few way-back episodes of #ReadingRainbow plus a brand new one hosted by @mychal3ts.bsky.social and my depression switched to “I wanna happy-sob from the feeling of core memories confetti-ing in my brain.”

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses?
Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.
