Talia Cohen, 34, was jilted by her husband-to-be Gavin Monks, 34, after he revealed he had been having second thoughts. Cohen has reportedly taken the news remarkably well, and is currently waiting for a cab to collect her from the venue so she can race home and have a nap.

Romance and Romantasy readers, help! The MMC is often dismissive and rude to the FMC, unless he’s alone with her and she gets to see the real him, who is actually tender and smart. (1/3) #romancesky #booksky

Listening to @robinince.bsky.social's Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal I'm reminded (repeatedly) of why Weird Pride is so needed. Robin wears a badge saying Weirdo, partly in tribute to Sophie Lancaster, who was killed by a gang for being a goth, 'looking weird'. www.sophielancasterfoundation.com

I am still sick, weak, and flaring up. I was looking forward to working from the bed this morning. I’ll stare at the ceiling all dramatic while tears flow… (allergies make my eyes water like a broken faucet and I’m sad).

No amount of ginger tea with agave is going help me grieve all the work I put into my WIPs. I used a program on my old laptop that needs to have its license deactivated before you move it to another device. I can’t do that as my screen is broken.

So many apps and programs, so much time and energy wasted on organisation and building better frameworks. Some of them are aesthetic, others are minimal. All eventually annoy me so much I always have Microsoft OneNote as my sturdy backup.

My current comfort shows (some, not all): • Supernatural • Charmed (original) • Buffy + Angel • All Star Trek • Cowboy Bebop + Samurai Champloo • Big Bang Theory • The OC (seasons 1-3) • Lord of the Rings trilogy (I know it’s a film but it’s a show if you only watch parts at a time, shhh)

I’m just remembering that I studied German at school purely to translate Rammstein. This lead to it being one of my absolute favourite languages and also opened me up to other music. It’s the somewhat simple things that keep me invested in my interests. #languages

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

My resolutions are super realistic. It’s whether or not I complete them that counts. I love my rigid routines and systems, so I like to reassess yearly. Being able to follow my routines gives me insight into how well I’m doing emotionally, neurologically, mentally and physically.

I had an anxiety #dream last night that I kept having to restock and face a pack of silicone mini cupcake cups. Every time I was about to leave (because there was a giant demon prowling the darkened store floor for me à la 90s Jurassic Park) I’d notice one of the packages somehow got turned.

So much of masking is about hiding your #autistic self as much as possible and censoring yourself a great deal. It’s draining but it’s expected of you just to get through the day.

Sy Andrews 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @syandrews.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
Early daytime meets with fellow #autistic friends is hands down the best (if not one of the best) experiences ever for me. It’s a relief not to mask and be our authentic selves.

During hard times (moments where my being autistic causes the people around me to treat me quite badly, intentionally or not) I have to remind myself about the basics of daily Buddhist practice. I haven’t sat at my altar in some time… 🌬️🍃🧘🏾‍♀️ The Four Noble Truths are vital to living well.
