I’m 37 and a manager in corporate finance and I’ve hit a wall I can’t seem to get through. I don’t have an official diagnosis but just about everything in my life has started making sense since I started exploring the idea. The problem now is I don’t think I can keep being a manager in corporate finance, I don’t think I can keep pushing through. I’m terrified, what do I do now? What happens if I just quit, I’m in the US i won’t have health insurance, there’s no safety net. Has anyone else been deep in autistic burnout? How did you get yourself out? I’m trying to come up with a plan but I feel so out of my depths.

I want to get out to a protest in the morning before the storm rolls through, does anyone know of plans for morning protests in southern Maine?

I have a strange itch for a book with MMC’s as members of the FBI or an agency like that. Think Criminal Minds, but sexy. MM is fine as long as it’s not a main focus, I’m not a huge fan of OV but if it fits I’ll give it a try. No particular triggers or kinks, just hot men trying to save their woman.

I loooooove a RH in a robust fantasy world and I need your help!

I’m looking for decent writing and world building, it can be urban fantasy or more high fantasy. I don’t mind MM if it’s not a main focus, but I prefer all the attention to be on her. I don’t have any triggers, but I’m not super into OV (I don’t know if there are any fantasy OV’s out there?).

Some books I’ve read and liked:

{Warrior’s Path by Cassie Cole} I just finished this one, I liked it a lot, the world was super interesting and the men were all developed and distinguishable. There were a couple things I didn’t like with the structure of the story, but overall this is a good one.

{The Fifth Nicnevin by Marie Mistry}

Hello Sea Glass friends! I’m on the east coast of the US and largely hunt for sea glass in the winter. Winter’s here are quite cold and usually quite windy, especially by the ocean. I’m looking to invest in some nicer outerwear that will keep me comfortable and dry while out for sometimes hours on the beach. Does anyone have any recommendations for boots, coats, hats, gloves, face protection, etc? I’d love to hear how you all handle the beach in the winter.

It seems like every book I read lately is a group of guys who start the story using the fmc as a pawn in their own games and then slowly fall for her. I don’t necessarily hate that trope, it just seems like the fmc always forgives them so easily. Like, finding out the person I’m falling for was using me the entire time would be a MAJOR betrayal to me! I cannot conceive just rolling with it, I feel like there’s got to be trust rebuilding scenes but it seems like there rarely is.

Okay, overly dramatic rant over lol. I’ve just chosen the same kind of book too many times, I have to shake it up I guess.

Hi y’all! I like a lot of different books but lately I’ve been really loving Lily Gold’s Why Choose books and I’m hoping for some recommendations of similar books. Something contemporary without magic and with a happily ever after. Gold writes MFMM which I enjoy, open to MMFM though too. Thanks!

This may sound obvious but I saw a recent quote from Candace Cameron talking about how she doesn’t allow horror movies in her house because they’ll open a portal and it hit me so hard how being a Christian is literally just being afraid of everything all the time. I remember the message of “we do not live in fear” being preached to me so much when I was in it, meanwhile fear literally ran my life. They talk about joy so much for people who are terrified and miserable 24/7.

I’m so frustrated by companies that waste my time. I applied for a job a couple of weeks ago in an accounting field I’ve been in for the last 10 years and was sent an exercise to complete before they would decide on an interview or not. Generally speaking I won’t do homework for a job application after being burned a couple of years ago (put together a massive presentation and presented it to a panel), but the exercise was simple enough and I was really interested in the job, so I did it. I had an interview last Tuesday, was told I’d be a really good fit and they’d be in touch. I followed up this morning only to be told that they’d already hired someone who was farther along in the proce
