Writing about it at least helps to get it down somewhere. On the page, it's not my situation, it's the character's. I don't know if other people find that helpful, but for me, it's helpful to make it someone else's and then try to look at it from the outside in.
#WhatImWritingAbout
Recently a family member with whom I have a complicated relationship was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. In truth, it feels like I don't really have a relationship with him, we barely speak. We differ in almost all of our views and values, but we're very similar in two ways: we're both very stubborn and very protective. This diagnosis has led to contact with other family members with whom I had cut ties. Kinda makes you wish there were a flow chart or something for navigating it.

What are you #reading at the moment?
I'm starting A Passage North by Anuk Arudpragasam today. I'm also slowly making my way through Bora Chung's Cursed Bunny. I like read through short stories little by little.
One of my favourite things about Mastodon so far is how open everyone seems to be about making friends, because I often find that a bit difficult to gauge sometimes. Also enjoying the 'add notes' function on profiles and also the labels idea.
Also, just to let you all know, sometimes I don't know how to read my tone. This means sometimes I might sound a bit... Direct without realising it. Please know I never intend to upset anyone and am happy to be pulled up on it. I don't know if it's the #dyslexia or what, but it happens 😅
To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5–7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

I think it's probably a good idea to carry over the hashtags from birdsite so we can find each other so I'm going to use the following for translation stuff:
Tradumast?? That one probably isn't going to stick 😅
My name is Amy. My pronouns are she/her. I'm a translator (Catalan, Spanish and Portuguese into English), animal lover, musical enthusiast and sometimes writer. I have a hard time deciding in the right label for myself, sometimes I go by bisexual, sometimes pansexual. I live with my partner and two cats in Catalonia, although I'm originally from Manchester, UK.
