Cheerful things!

[alias_sqbr]

So! I have been feeling a bit down recently for reasons I'm not going to go into in this post (I have realised that doing so makes me reluctant to read the comments, rather defeating the purpose) and would like some happy, positive human interaction.

So! If the mood strikes you, please comment with happy links, books/movies etc you've enjoyed recently, random cheerful comments about what you've been up to etc. No sympathy comments, I am not in the mood right now.

And to return the favour, here is my swancon costume as well as a mask I made. Also, here is some cute happy fixit art for Rogue One.

Also, while I'm here: hello to everyone who's been coming over to dreamwidth from livejournal!

I'm assuming you already saw That Octopus Video, but just in case you haven't:

On the weekend, I helped connect one of my students to disability support services at uni and they were really grateful.

My osteo and i had a good chat during my appointment last night about how her son is probably on the autism spectrum, and her whole approach to it just made me happy and ...hopeful to know that there will be people out there who grow up into their awesome autistic selves with that self-knowledge and having had support to figure out e.g. sensory and emotional regulation stuff from when they're little. (Also because i know that some of our conversations over the past few years probably helped her to come to her current attitude and understanding of autism.)

Oh, alsoalso there was a small human (7, i think) reading things in the waiting room before my appointment, and her Mum was preoccupied with paying and the kid was excitedly and loudly asking questions about why the 'ea' at the end of the name 'Chelsea' (the receptionist's name) was pronounced Chelesea and not Chelsea-ay or Chelsea-a, so i...answered her question, and explained about diphthongs, and we just had this really awesome, tiny, moment of connection. Well, 3 or 4 minutes of connection. *g*

I had seen it, but ages ago, so it was fun to watch again and then reread the fic.

Hooray for happy well treated children :)
