Leah Holmes

I'm Leah. I maintain a blog and run convention panels about the history of anime fandom in the UK. Buy me a ko-fi if you like my work! ko-fi.com/leahmholmes

So I can't do this anymore. Deleting Twitter from my phone and letting my account go dark. Will be doing the same with Facebook soon. You can find me if you know where to find me. See you when I see you.

No-one send me concerned messages, you will make it worse.

Thinking about if I sold my flat and used my share to outright buy a place in the middle of nowhere and moved out there and deleted all my social media and cut all my social ties completely and changed my name and never spoke to anyone again. That'd be nice.

@filmsonwax Also, thank you ❤️

@filmsonwax It's so warm! It will help me survive the Winter! 😂

Halloween cozy comfort viewing; Over The Garden Wall, an oversized fleecy hoodie and a large mug of tea.

All my future relationships will be with himbos and women who can bench press me

I have a big, bursting brain that occasionally can be brilliant and often can be a burden. I have a heart that does the same. It makes every day feel heavy yet exhilarating, happy but exhausting. I try to share the bits I have because we only get one innings. I’ll be gone one day

@strandedselkie @fyimanners It won't even tell me what the problem is. Is my preferred username taken? Is there an issue with my password? Has someone ganked my email somehow? It's a mystery!

Anyone who didn’t find out about their ADHD until after their 20s should get a free redo.

Good god, this.

We ask people to bravely seek help for their mental distress. But what awaits them when they do? Most get 7mins with a GP & a prescription. Some, a couple of IAPT 'therapy' sessions after a long wait, a few a psych-referral. Let’s be honest about what accessing ‘care’ looks like.

The point is that *I* know I'm wearing lipstick underneath the mask.

no in flight movie can beat the screen with the map that tells you where your plane is currently flying over

the worse things get the harder it is to feel like silence is neutral. obviously silence is preferable to saying Yes I Agree You're All Being Too Mean To The People Advocating Trans Genocide but. saying consistently that Advocating Trans Genocide Is Bad Actually is good I think.

@Weez Shh! If they know that then it ruins the joke! 😜

I don't have any pets but as I also find fireworks season stressful I think I can pretend to be a cat for a couple of nights.
