Look, this is one of my favourite on-going series. You still have time to catch up before the new comes out. There are also extra stories in between books. If you need something cozy, creepy, and utterly adorable, you should read this.

Confession time: “I’ll just read a few pages” is the biggest lie book lovers tell. Once those pages turn, the world fades, the phone’s on silent, and reality can wait. If you can’t handle being ignored for a fictional universe, you’re not ready for a reader’s love.

You never have to worry about bothering someone when commenting "I like your characters" or "I like your work." We love it. However... there's a good chance a writer/artist explodes into a thousand glowing rainbow confetti bits. Otherwise known as Validation Induced Exploding Syndrome. Very common.

Not all disabilities are visible and that doesn't make them any less real.
Chronic pain, mental health conditions, neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases & more deserve awareness, respect, and understanding ✨

I don't use ai for inspiration. I don't use ai to write. I don't use ai for anything. I simply sit and WRITE. Because it's MINE. Because I LOVE it. And if it gets tough, I just keep WRITING.

To the Editor: I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an IQ of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body. I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25-40% of the autistic community, depending on the estimate. For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low-functioning in this new schema. Jason Jacoby Lee New York

I had wanted to do something cool, like write a blog post or do a giveaway or even just make a new video, but I haven't had time.

Instead, I shall write a (probably) long thread here.

Mainly, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who's given it a chance
