I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient. It's slow and painstaking. But I don't believe in efficiency as an ultimate good, especially in writing. /
My unused journalism degree 🤝 my current psychology research.
But also, I prefer Zora Neale Hurston’s take:
“Research is formalised curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.”
Some days/weeks, being a mental health clinician is really emotionally rough. And on those days/weeks, I play Tavern Keeper and it helps me find my equilibrium again.
Also, please don’t be an Orc. Solve your disagreements with words please.

Girri update from Dr Cilla Kinross—
"Back from the field with good news. Girri is in the roost trees (about 300m beyond Girinyalanha and 400m from the tower)—right up high in the tree. She spread her wings and called when Gimbir arrived."

Going with the vibe of “smash” (today's #WIPSnips word) and opting for “crush” mainly because I love it when the word is there in my #FlashFictionFriday story!

skull with the words and the dark willk now my name. adult horror cj subko 68000 words
fake texts over a picture of a witch doing a ritual. they read: witchcraft gone wrong. found friends and family. depression and self-harm. grad student stuck at home with parents. murders most foul. a supernatural killer, perhaps?
pitch: girl interrupted x eric larocca Ash has just been released from a psychiatric hold following a suicide attempt, and her life is in shambles. Her parents are angry and overprotective; her best friend Kelsie has abandoned her for being too exasperating; and her graduate school work is suffering, bringing her to the brink of expulsion. Spiraling and overwhelmed, witchy Ash tries to put a curse into the universe, so that anyone who tries to fuck with her will hurt like she hurts. Later, in a moment of clarity, she recants the curse. Then a man who ghosts her for a date is murdered. Surely it can’t be the curse she recanted? At first, she’s able to shake off the impending emotional spiral with the help of her therapy group friend Leticia and crush Dara. However, strange things continue to happen. Her window is broken by an unknown stranger. Kelsie’s apartment is broken into and Kelsie blames her. But when her skeazy professor is murdered right in front of her, she has to accept the facts—someone is stalking her and the people around her. Someone who looks exactly like her. With the clock ticking until someone makes the connection between the murderer and Ash, Ash turns to her friends for help. To save everyone from the monster, Ash and her friends will have to work together to figure out what it is and how to slay it. But killing it might mean, for Ash, facing her darkest inner demons, the ones she’s been ignoring for years. If she doesn’t, it could mean the deaths of everyone around her.

A sticker sheet with some stickers removed. The remaining stickers are clip-art style images of books and a backpack.
I made some stickers on my Cricut last night for the first time (and they’re super cute), and I just realised that I can make a personalised sticker sheet for my friend who loves stickers for her birthday!!! But like. What do I put on them? Probably books and cats and tea, tbh.
We’ve got 8 PhD studentships open in Durham for interdisciplinary research, especially projects sitting at the intersection of humanities and sciences. Many music psychology projects can tick these boxes! Feel free to get in touch www.durham.ac.uk/departments/...
Yes! I’ve had to do this too. It also helps when shopping at outlet stores. They sell out in the women’s section but have plenty in the men’s section, since my size is at the lower end of the men’s range. Sadly it only works for sneakers. Smallest men’s ankle boots are a size too big for me :(

For those following along on this, I will not be trying the Ingram Spark version, because this person already did and took photos! Spoiler: same deal, just perfect-bound books with hard covers. So I’ll just stick with the Lulu standard-paper paperbacks, since I know the quality is good for journals.
My autism identification has materially improved my life in a number of ways, not all of which I’d fully articulated to myself before taking this survey.
Autistic AND non-autistic adults living in Australia, can you help out with this research?
