About

Hey, Iโ€™m Cassie โ€” welcome to the chaos!

Iโ€™m 44, queer, non-binary (they/them), demisexual, AuDHD, and disabled. I live in the South West of England with too many books, a frankly alarming stationery stash, and my wonderful not-wife, Li ๐Ÿ’›

I work in finance, study history & classical studies with the Open University, and spend the rest of my time reading, writing fanfic, yelling about tennis, and lovingly naming inanimate objects.

This blog is a comfy mix of:

  • ๐Ÿ“š Mood reading & bookish ramblings
  • ๐ŸŽพ Tennis brain (mostly Sinner, mostly unhinged)
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Fandom meta & fanfic feels
  • ๐Ÿง  Queer life, chronic overthinking & mental health honesty
  • ๐ŸŽฎ Cozy gaming & sad-girl Swiftie energy
