Thank you so much to everyone who came and hung out with me during yesterday's reading stream. I hope you were one of the ones who received a gifted sub! That was so unexpected and exciting

Note: if you include me in a thread or share something but I don't respond I am likely currently overwhelmed with IRL or just don't understand what you shared... yet. I will often "magically" understand something/see the humour about 48 hours later. I'm not ignoring you #brainquirks #AuDHDbrain

Join me at 1pm NZDT for our SPORTS-FREE story time, continuing Louisa May Alcott's Jack and Jill.

What a great day!!

Does anyone know if this is the hornet MPI are trying to eradicate?

I’m especially furious at the cultural norm of treating women and girls like objects this week because someone I love is navigating her daughter being assaulted by a boy at school.
We have to change the narrative from “boys will be boys” to “boys and men will be held accountable for their actions.”

I’m not unreliable. I’m just unwell. You don’t see the hours I spend recovering. You don’t feel the guilt when I cancel. You don’t hear the noise inside my body. But I promise you I want to show up. More than you’ll ever know. @cfshealth

It might be a while before Jack and Jill can go sledding again... join me at 1pm NZDT to see how their recovery is going.

Yes I'm begging you for gifts 🤣 No, actually this is just for those who already wanted to send me something but didn't know what, nor how. Problem solved: Throne handles the details, while keeping info safe. https://throne.com/jevvvnz/wishlist

Why yes I do now repost/boost my posts from the other service.... because that bright account only has 3 followers and you who follow THIS account are more than the people. It's about social reach

On February 3, 1931, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Hawke’s Bay, causing a mass loss of life & leaving thousands injured.

The earthquake struck at 10.47am, leading to the loss of 256 lives - 161 in Napier, 93 in Hastings & two in Wairoa.

We remember this event 95 years ago today.

if you need a lesson on cunning, look to Vetinari

if you need a lesson on goodness, look to Carrot

and if you need a lesson on how to get the most out of life, look to Nanny Ogg

Had a wonderful time starting LM Alcott's Jack and Jill on stream today. Was lovely having you wonderful folk in chat!

Oh no! So sorry this has happened to you

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

This also probably implies that the things aren't e.g. biting people or scuttling into their kitchen at midnight to look for snacks but I'm not going to stop doing either of those bc I am a big bug and it is my god-given right

I needed the reminder I think because contained in that very simple statement are requirements for you to know what your things are, to remember to do them, and to fully give yourself permission when the time comes (I have trouble with that last one)

Yes. "The things that make us happy make us wise," says John Crowley in support.

Mini HDMI. I had a camera with that one time. You can still get Mini HDMI to HDMI adapter cables

Ah, it's because i was seeing a screenshot of another post that someone shared. And no there was no alt text 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

If I permanently mute a word like ICE (mental health reasons) why does it still show up in reposts in my timeline?
