@inkyelbows Papier Plume in the French Quarter is a beautiful stationery shop. Lots of journals and fountain pens and pretty paper!

@BlkEmilyDicknsn No! That's not a rule at my library. I would've given him one 😠

In case you're wondering what made me cry at lunch today.

One of the cruelest things about Autistic/ADHD masking is that you learn to treat positive emotions as a warning sign that you're about to do something "wrong" and that it is therefore "safest for everyone" if you maintain a constant, low-key negative internal emotional state.

If you'd like to know where I am mentally, I just said "look at its little leg!" out loud and started crying.

What's the DSM-5 code for "keeps buying notebooks they don't need, will walk into a store on fire to see a notebook."

growing up, were you a “reads the encyclopedia for fun” neurodivergent or a “listens to the same song on a loop until you die” neurodivergent

@elamin88 I was raised by two -- TWO -- August Virgos. I am still not sure how I made it this far.

My toxic trait is I think I can get ready in 10 minutes despite being proven wrong every single day of my life

Hi! I hope this email finds you in another dimension where none of this is happening and everything is fine.

I'm trying to figure out if being told the exact date and time of the erosion of your rights makes it any easier to prepare.

[Jen Hugs Books @jen1n]

@susoxley I feel like it saved my whole life ♥️

As a librarian, I've been reading all week about the people checking out all the books on Pride displays to keep them from other people or "losing" the books or hiding them somewhere else and every day the world has felt even heavier than it usually does. But yesterday 1/5

[Jen Hugs Books @jen1n]

And that was it. And my heart exploded. I know it wasn't deep and it happened in a couple of seconds and it fixed literally nothing, but it felt like a tiny light I could carry. So I'm sharing the tiny light with you. 5/5

Kid: Oooh rainbows! What's that say?
Mom: (reads the name of the kid who made it) It looks like they made it because it's rainbow month.
Kid: Yeah!
Mom: Remember how the rainbow means everybody can be proud of who they are?
Kid: Oh yeah!
4/5
