[koiagain]

I feel So Cringe whenever I express interest in anything You guys can shoot me if you want idk

[codes-and-stuffs]

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it

[redstonedust]

i think people really under sell the physical side effects of mental health disorders sometimes. like sure the depression and anxiety may be 'just in your head' but when what's in your head happens to disrupts your sleep schedule and prevent you from going outside regularly and eating consistent meals and exercising and generally taking care of your body. well it sure takes its toll huh.

Reading Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer finally. Just started it today.

Also, I love how I decided that I want to start reading again in 2025 and I chose one of the biggest books to start with on my TBR.

(Note: I don’t count any of the extra stuff a book has in the back as part of my page count.)

- Midnight Sun is 658 pages.

- Crave (which I’ll start after MS) is 571 pages.

- I plan to finish ACOTAR, I have 45 minutes left in the audiobook. I started this in 2024. I plan to read the whole series this year. I already have the second book on Audible.

- I need to finish reading the first Bridgerton book. I plan to read the whole series.

- I need to finish The Folk of Air series. I finished Cruel Prince last year. I started The Wicked King last year.

I plan to do a mixture of physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks this year. I fell in love with audiobooks last year.

My 2025 goal is to finish 15 books. (I used to do that all the time as a teenager.)

[rumisorrengail]

… I didn’t really accomplish any of this last year.

I am almost done with ACOTAR now. I’m on A Court of Silver Flames. I have picked up reading again and I have almost finished my 2026 goal of 30 books. I’ve finished 25 books.

I absolutely love Fourth Wing and can’t wait to continue it.

I highly recommend Shield of Sparrows as well as The Serpent and the Wings of Night.

[rumisorrengail]

I am getting married in 13 days.

13. Days. Y’all.

Holy freakin’ cow.

Am I excited? Absolutely.

Am I nervous? Extremely.

Not because of the getting married thing. I love my fiance. It’s the speaking thing… I get nervous speaking in front of a group of people even if it’s family and/or friends, ironically. Coupled with my ADHD… we will see how well I do reciting everything.

Also, I have to sign the marriage license with my new signature and oh my gosh.. that scares me. I’ve barely gotten it down. I need to practice it more. 🙃

[rumisorrengail]

Tomorrow is our one year anniversary.

[elgreytea]

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

[rumisorrengail]

The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent. I’m reading it because the summary sounded like it’d be up my alley. I’m reading the ebook on my 12th gen Kindle Paperwhite!

[gendercensus]

The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!
