He knows he is neurodiverse since he also has ADHD. It is just difficult since I just want to make sure he has supports if he ever needs them, but he doesn't feel that way

In the biggest slump EVERRR

So I’ve just been trying to take it day by day but….im mentally and emotionally drained. Other than that, how are you all

Soon and I’m just super nervous since he is autistic as well. He has been with my mom this whole time so I’m just nervous how behaviors will be once he is with other peers. The school year is almost over for the oldest two but they aren’t doing so well (one behaviorally and the other academically).

Hello my bookish friends. Life has been very tough mentally for me. My oldest has finally been evaluated and he is autistic (I had a feeling) and he didn’t want to know or didn’t want to be evaluated. Haven’t told him but idk how that conversation will go. My little is going into early childcare

I feel just like that boy 🥺😢😭🥲🥹

Run don’t walk ok! This book is just so beautifully written. Very emotional read and just devastatingly beautiful. It’s a must read for the year! #cryvoidbringer #voidbringer #bindery #binderybooks #leftunread #books #booksbypoc #pocauthors #booktok #booksky #bookstagram

I haven’t posted here in a while. How is everyone holding up? Mentally, emotionally, physically?

Kobo will price match ebooks and audiobooks, btw! Make sure to check that they do it for your country, though. I know they do it for the US

I’m almost done Butter and it’s been rather intriguing

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I don’t like the negative energy they are spewing. The way Oathbound was marketed was way less than even the new Hunger Games book was marketed. She hasn’t written in a WHILE and that got more promotion than Oathbound ever got. We all know that the common denominator is

I love watching your videos!

The state of the world has got me so down. I just feel like we are repeating history and no one is doing anything to stop it
