As if the bed nook wasn’t cool enough, that door leads to the closet, which holds a ladder to a reading space, with the “balcony” window above the bed to look out!

im a simple girl.. i see book, i buy book, i let book sit on my shelf for months unread
Months? Oh, sweet summer child, I’m currently pushing myself through a programme where I’m reading everything that’s been on my shelves, unread, for 10+ YEARS. And yes, I’m still buying books. The programme is mostly to clear off the books I don’t actually want to keep, to make space for new stuff.
love that adhd feel when “and there goes my ability to read”
why u ask?
– it’s too noisy
– my brain keeps thinking too many Thoughts
– re-read it again till u die
– BOREDOM!!!
– constantly zoning out
– the tiny sound in the distance
– too stressed out because I CAN’T READisn’t adhd fun!!!
– wait… that’s not what it said… or is it?
– i just skipped eight lines wtf
– is this English?
– where the fuck was i
– *gets up to do something* *never returns*
– wait how long have I been reading for
– I remember Nothing (except for a few unnecessary things in excruciating detail )
– must move NOW
– font bad
– song stuck in my head
*GETS UP TO DO SOMETHING* *NEVER RETURNS*
The not being able to read, in all seriousness, is one of the most upsetting, stressmaking manifestations of my ADHD. Reading has always been the way I check out, escape, relax, and when my brain stops letting me focus enough to read, I lose that outlet, and it makes the agitation and stress and anxiety WORSE. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle of suck.
Happy Father’s Day! Please do not leave children unattended in the library.

THE HORROR
*sharpens knives*
archwrites posted about the most awesome Captain America sticker ever a few weeks ago, and I know we both got inquiries about where it could be procured, which I couldn’t answer. Arch said that they were being given out by Scholastic, but since very few of us have THAT hookup, I decided to pretty it up and re-post it as an image, so that you guys can print your own stickers if you want.
