"Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wynne Jones

In which a witch bewitched the hatter's daughter—and then some....

Sophie lived in the town of Market Chipping, which was in Ingary, a land in which anything could happen, and often did—especially when the Witch of the Waste got her dander up. Which was often. As her younger sisters set out to seek their fortunes, Sophie stayed in her father's hat shop. Which proved most unadventurous, until the Witch of the Waste came in to buy a bonnet, but was not pleased. Which is why she turned Sophie into an old lady. Which was spiteful witchery. Now Sophie must seek her own fortune. Which means striking a bargain with the lecherous Wizard Howl. Which means entering his ever-moving castle, taming a blue fire-demon, and meeting the Witch of the Waste head-on. Which was more than Sophie bargained for....

"I'm over it. All the little costs of having ADHD that add up in the long run. Lost customers. Overdue bills. Replacement phone chargers. Time spent looking for things. The way it makes me feel, like a child. As if everyone else is a real adult and I'm just pretending. The frustration that I can't do the simple, everyday things that most people can. Like laundry, and making phone calls, and remembering to take out something from the freezer for dinner. It's the missed deadlines for opportunities I could've had. The broken relationships. How people think I'm lazy and selfish. How they think I don't care. How I think I'm lazy and selfish, even though I know I care." – Sarah Grunder Ruiz, Last Call at the Local

“It’s a sighted, hearing classroom, in a sighted, hearing school, in a sighted, hearing society. They designed this environment for people who can see and hear. In this environment, I’m disabled. They place the burden on me to step out of my world and reach into theirs.” – Haben Girma, Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law

"To engage in activism that envisions alternatives ways of organizing society and alternative ways of being is to risk membership in society, a sense of belonging, however partial it may be. Activism can make us vulnerable because it is so obviously about wanting something beyond what is, and to have a political desire often is construed as wanting too much." - Deborah B. Gould, Moving Politics: Emotion and ACT UP's Fight against AIDS

"Sometimes I have all this energy, I'm unstoppable and I can do all these things at once, really fast, and then it keeps going, like a whirlwind and I can't stop it. Then other times I'm so muddled and I can't manage, so confused and angry and upset. I don't understand it." – Rebecca Schiller, A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention: Discovering the Beauty of My ADHD Mind – A Memoir

ADHD AWARENESS MONTH QUOTE 12 OF 12

Wednesday, October 25, 2023

Support is the number one thing when it comes to fighting a mental illness. And the ones who have walked in the same shoes as you are the very best support system. There is no stigma in this group. There is no judging. We aren’t here to judge. We are here to understand and to let you know you aren’t alone in whatever battle you are facing. And that is why we started this group called You Matter. –…

Hey friends!

I’ve put together a wishlist on Bookshop.org, and I’d really appreciate any support! Every book on the list is requested in pairs—one copy for me, and one to donate to my local library. I love the idea of giving back to the place that’s been such an important part of my life and my community.

Why Bookshop.org? They support independent bookstores, so your purchase helps keep small bookstores alive and thriving, too. It’s a win-win all around!

If you’re able to grab something from the list, I’d be super grateful! And if not, reblogs and shares are more helpful than you know.

Thank you so much for being amazing.

Here’s the link to my wishlist if you’d like to check it out: https://bookshop.org/wishlists/95259fc05a6b61a3e15fcf2df3f95aaf239ed2a0
