Blogger documenting life with chronic illness and disability. Aside from posts about the chronic life, I am an avid reader, and a square-eyed binge-watcher of TV and films
@bannedbooksweek.bsky.socialReposted by @serenebutterfly.bsky.socialLET BOOKS BE ACCESSIBLE! Attempts to limit access for the intended audience are acts of censorship.
Let's take a look at the harmful myths and misinformation censors use to justify their actions. And find ways to push back!
@drhannahbattersby.bsky.socialReposted by @serenebutterfly.bsky.social"Living this way means each day starts with an assessment, a careful negotiation with a body that doesn’t always tell the truth." Sums it up.
@serenebutterfly.bsky.socialUsually I would think it way too early to start reading #Christmas romance novels but as I have been particularly bad of late and with my health at a low I have already started reading a couple as I could really do with some cheer, joy and hope that they bring! Hooray for books!

@serenebutterfly.bsky.socialThank you @achronicvoice.com for taking the time to share my blog post on how I don’t feel safe in my own body because it betrays me every day and the anger I feel because of it. It’s much appreciated! 🫶

@serenebutterfly.bsky.socialThank you so much @apainprincess.bsky.social for taking the time to share my blog post on the lessons I’ve learned about living with #ChronicIllness and #ChronicPain whilst at sea #cruising. It’s much appreciated! 🫶
@serenebutterfly.bsky.socialThink tonight’s episode of #CelebrityTraitors is a testament to how this is one of the best series on TV at the moment. It’s a show that keeps evolving, with surprises and new twists that makes it feel fresh from previous series. It’s so unpredictable and the cast makes it oh so funny!
@serenebutterfly.bsky.social#Strictly. #GBBO. And now #CelebrityTraitors.
Autumn television is some of the best TV of the year. Such brilliantly entertaining, cozy and comforting TV.
@serenebutterfly.bsky.socialFinished #reading #TheAstralLibrary by Kate Quinn and this #quote from it really spoke to be as someone who id a self-confessed #bookworm: ‘Can a bookworm ever really call herself alone when she’s surrounded by books?’
@serenebutterfly.bsky.social@serenebutterfly.bsky.social@serenebutterfly.bsky.socialThank you so much @myseveralworlds.com for taking the time to share my blog post on how living with #ChronicIllness is constantly having to relive the same heartbreaks over and over again. It’s much appreciated! 🫶
