It's April! I will not be participating in the discourse this year. But please be aware that I'm here, autistic af and last year I edited a reprint collection celebrating @reckoningmag.bsky.social's neurodivergent contributors. (cover art@abistevensart.bsky.social) reckoning.press/a-chorus-div...

The vibrant cover of Reckoning magazine's special issue: A CHORUS DIVERGENT (2025), which celebrates the contributions of neurodivergent authors from Reckoning's first ten years of publication. The neon colors and style bring to mind 90s notebooks and features a many-winged, asymmetrical moth. Upon six of the wings are varying symbols of neurodivergent including: dyslexia, autism, adhd, AuHD, personality and neurological disorders. The cover art is by Abi Stevens, who can be found here on Bluesky.

An issue of Slippery Elm Literary Journal(2025), a back issue of Southeast Review, a memoir with an exceptionally beautiful cover- The Company of Owls by Polly Atkin (Milkweed Editions), You Are My Sunshine and other stories, a short story anothology by Octavia Cade, and Dogwitch, a chapbook by Catherine Rockwood.

Cuteness from my brother's yard. We've had a number of spring births. The lamb in the third photo was born with some tendon issues and was refused by his mum. He is currently being bottle fed and rehabbed by my mother and SIL. My brother named him Biscuit. Limp Biscuit. These are rescue animals.

Photo of a black and white mother sheep with her tiny, adorable, mostly black lamb. This cute baby has a white face, three white ankles, and a white tip on their tail. They are standing in the shade of the barn. The sun is shining.

Photo of a muddy white mother sheep with twin black and white babies. They are standing beside an older barn. Momma looks tired; the lambs are trying to eat parts of the barn door.

Photo of Sir Limp Biscuit, new ruler of the farm and home. He is a black and white lamb, lying on layered blankets (and wee pad) in a cradle improvised from a large green plastic tote. He is wearing a tiny diaper. His (currently and malformed) front left leg is stretched out slightly onto a piece of white, emotional support wool.

It is a gorgeous morning for sitting on the porch surrounded by trees and reading submissions. (We're on the second floor; it feels like a tree house). Bonus pic of yesterday's beautiful strawberries.

View from, and partially of, a second floor screened in porch. the porch has various potted plants, all tall and green and somewhat tropical, and a concrete porch goose (currently wearing only pollen) in the corner. Filling the view is an assortment of established pines and hardwoods, including a blooming tulip poplar.

Proof of life! Still mad about...well everything...but I'ma thrive out of autistic spite. Join me. :)

A selfie of author CG Aubrey, a smiling white woman with dark hazel eyes and an outgrown auburn Bob. She wears a dark green singlet and brown framed glasses. She stands on a screened in porch. Behind her is a small woodland of trees.

For reference, this was my furbrother Duke and he was absolutely the goofiest, most loving, ride or die pooch to ever pooch. (like all the best pups out there)

photo of a grey harlequin great dane with a goofy, happy expression on his face as he runs joyfully across a sunlit yard towards the photographer (his favorite person in the whole world).

AuDHD lady's first noise canceling earmuffs. I am very happy and a little blurry maybe? I do not have my glasses on lol

Very slightly blurry selfie of me (a middle-aged white lady with dark eyes and dark auburn hair cut in a bob) wearing a pair of kids' neon yellow-green noise canceling earmuffs. I am wearing a dark tshirt and gray cardigan and I'm smiling with my lips closed, humor in my eyes.

Every time someone asks why I hate Santa Claus (not to be confused with Father Christmas who is great) I point this movie and the pedophile uncle who always dressed up as Santa at my grandparents' house for Christmas.

Still shot from the well-known 1964 stop-motion short film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. A young Rudolph stares to the left. He has button horns and his red nose. text on the image reads: deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable.

My first capture of the illusive swamp rainbow. Not the first I've seen, but the first I've gotten proof of. :D Pretty darn excited. May plaster it on every social media. Print it out for a holiday card, idk lol

Photo of a swampy pond surrounded by trees. There is a bright blue sky overhead. There is a old fallen tree in the shallow water. Sunlight reflects off of the natural oils produced by decaying vegetation beneath the water creating a shimmering slick of rainbow iridescence.

For those keeping count, in the past two days I have: -failed my saving throw against faulty string lights -burned my thumb -knocked a cookie tin down on my head from the top of the pantry. I did catch it before it hit the floor, but...poor thing never stood a chance.

Photo of my (recently electrocuted, more recently burned) left hand holding the (even more recently) dinted lid of a gold cookie tin.

Had a lovely day finishing up an embroidery project that I'm really proud of and listening to author Amy Tan's Masterclass. I think I finally truly internalized two of the most important lessons regarding writing. 1. Trust the process. 2. Nothing is perfect; that doesn't mean it can't be beautiful.

Quote skeet with a photo of water you took

Photo of Stony Creek, a part of the Tar River System in North Carolina, on a bright, sunny, November afternoon. The water is dark and slow moving with a few large rocks dotted across. Trees in shades of orange, yellow, brown, and green line sloped banks carpeted in fallen brown leaves. The profusion of color is reflected in the water. A glimpse of bright blue sky can be seen in the top center of the photo.

Wishing you all a wonderful October! I'll be woods-wandering until further notice. Stay tuned for lovely pictures and probably too many selfies with yellow leaves. <3
