As someone living w terminal cancer who is often the only one wearing a mask at the cancer center and everywhere else I go, I so appreciate this! I donated, maybe you can too! And maybe you can think about masking more often before your life depends on it!

I also mask whenever I'm out, so my face probably would be hidden. I'd still be mentally drained D;

I don't think I would be able to do that. I have a very big "don't bother people" complex, and as a shopper, I would hate that. I think I'm just not cut out for sales, lol

Sexual desire is morally neutral. It is no more or less moral than hunger. Women sexually desiring other women may not be normal to you, but it is not harmful, it's entirely natural and completely neutral. It's just another fact of nature, and treating sex between women otherwise is the real harm.

I really appreciate my partner because we're both queer/trans, neurodivergent losers, and those repeated social failures really bring people together. Nothing like commiserating about never wanting to speak to other people ever again after your 12th social failure in as many days.

I know many people enjoy doing in-person author/reader conventions and events, but I cannot think of a more torturous state for an autistic author. Acting like an "on" human for hours, trying to sell yourself and your book, look eager but not EAGER, and trying to hear when 500 people are talking 🙃

I haven't looked at the cover copy in a while, but I believe it's a mother-daughter story about an ex celebrity (mother) and her relationship with her daughter as they share a pool house together. I bought it because I love Mary H. K. Choi's other books, especially Emergency Contact.
