Reminder: Kennys Bookshop delivers for free in Ireland. Easons have free delivery over 10 euros (and also sell toys and games and stationary). Lots of lovely booksellers in the actual stores too, like Books Upstairs, Gutter Bookshop, Hodges Figgis.

Every thought, every interaction, every reflection on this journey I would chronicle on scrap paper, iPhone notes, emails to myself- and slowly, painstakingly, that has turned into a book, TO EXIST AS I AM. 3/5
A picture of me, a white woman with glasses, holding my book TO EXIST AS I AM, a doctors notes on recovery and radical acceptance. The book cover is a picture of me sitting in my wheelchair wearing scrubs, from the shoulders downa quote from y book, 'I want you to understand the nuances of my story, and that there is nuance to disability. Disability is too often oversimplified, sensationalised or glorified, leaving no room for its dynamic nature and the rich variety of experience. I want to frame this book in hope, too, writing from a place of compassion and empathy rather than criticism. I’m writing as someone who has not always done the right thing either, or always known what might be the right thing to – or the right words to say. I want us all to do better.'

Almost 20(!) years later and this movie still SLAPS. Strongest urge to telephoné le police when Juno is alone with Jason Bateman's character at any point in the film. Seriously worried that I did not pick up on the vibes when I watched this as a child... Allison Janney & J.K. Simmons are perfect.🎬 📽
Juno movie poster. Juno is pregnant wearing a stripe top (orange and white) with a skirt on over jeans and brown runners, looking defiantly at the camera. Michael Cera a skinny white man is wearing a maroon top and yellow short shorts, looking confused. 
The background is orange and white stripes. There are black hand drawn figures running at the bottom of the poster
