CW/TW: Mental illness About a year ago, I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This was after *years* of increasing difficulties in completing everyday tasks, *decades* of me thinking I was just "being a bit weird", and generally not knowing what was *wrong* with me...

if you’re someone who still reads for pleasure, you’re heroic. if you’re able to unplug from all the chaos of our entertainment culture and disappear into the warmth and quiet of a book, that is a superpower and I’m very glad to know you.

How an octopus named Otto caused an aquarium power outage by climbing to the edge of his tank and shooting a jet of water at a bright light that was annoying him. The staff believed that the octopus called Otto had been annoyed by the bright light shining into his aquarium and had discovered he could extinguish it by climbing onto the rim of his tank and squirting a jet of water in its direction. The short-circuit had baffled electricians as well as staff at the Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany, who decided to take shifts sleeping on the floor to find out what caused the mysterious blackouts.

@Bitterstaff Yess! And Make that a double fueture please!

How many books would you take on a 7-day solo beach holiday? Asking for a friend 👀

Happy Twelfth Night, the traditional "end" to the Christmas or holiday season...but you can keep going if you want to. Keep your sparkly lights and candles and evergreens, they're comforting in the cold and dark season of winter as we await spring's return.

@ElenaM52 That's indeed sooner, but out here it's pretty common to marry within the year, so it still seems like plenty of time to me. Hopefully her mum will be able to atttend. 🤞🏻

@ElenaM52 15 months is soon? 🤔

@BrittonBookGeek No thinking, just start the closest top one!

My TBR pile 😱 I know it’s not as numerous as some, but I think I’m going to pause buying/borrowing books until it can fit on the shelf again 😂 What should I read first? 🤷🏻‍♀️

When someone tells me that staying home and reading doesn’t count as having plans for New Year’s Eve

The best way to spend the days between Christmas and New Year Art by Esther Bennink

A reminder that the 12 Days of Christmas started yesterday. The celebration, worship, feasting, and rest go on for another eleven still. Make merry. Take naps. Do a puzzle. Eat leftovers. Go for a walk. Drink it in. No rush. Takes the pressure off a bit, doesn’t it?

@LaSweet_Vee Merry Christmas! 😊
