We’re still under the weather so a gentle update today. The title comes from a small work I collected from neurodivergent artist Meg Fatharly. It’s a nice reminder when live starts life-ing and I have to slow down the pace.
How it Feels to Me
Gracie’s finished up all the interior edits for How it Feels to Me.
We’ve been dialing in some of the spreads to make them as clear as possible.
We’re one copyright page away from the final copy edits!
Thanks to everyone who’s joined the launch team. 🦋 🐝 🐞
Looking Closely
Lately I’ve been photographing some of the residents of our backyard (including the snail up above.) My kid is really into animals and I’ve learned to identify ladybug eggs, larva, and pupa.
This is a pupa! I didn’t even realize ladybugs pupate (or ladybirds for my UK friends).
Our wildflower patch is also flourishing! We’ve just started seeing the first fireflies of the summer.
10/10 would recommend planting a chaos garden. We bought three packs of seeds over 7 years ago and they just keep coming back stronger.
Somehow by doing so we created a firefly habitat even though this is just one third of our backyard.
Instead of writing a new post this week I migrating my post about Intentional Inconsistency over from Substack.
If you’ve never read this one I wrote it for fellow recovering perfectionists. There’s also a ramble podcast if you’d prefer to listen.
That’s all for this week. When my voice comes back I’m planning to record a new solo podcast. Are there any topics about neurodivergence you’d like me to podcast about?
P.S. I’ve also taken some adorable photos of a friendly jumping spider. I’ll put it after a space for anyone who has a spider phobia. For the rest of you… How cute is this little guy?
