Tourettes, Autism, Astronomy, Nature, Cricket and Running. Rubbish at all of them.
What do I have for you today from Tourettes world? Well, I've got hairy footed flower bees as they feed with ferocious energy. Focus is a bit soft as they barely stop moving.

First butterfly photo of the year! Caught this gorgeous peacock butterfly in the library nature reserve today. It kept being bothered by hoverflies but it still returned to the blossom.

It's very telling that the seeming first historical mention of someone with Tourettes was in the 15th century manual "Hammer of the Witches". Yep. Back then they used to burn us

Thrilled that Robert Aramayo won the Bafta for "I Swear". The pig ignorance displayed to the film's inspiration John Davidson for his vocal tics at the ceremony disgusts me to punching level. Apparently John should have not been there, or placed in a soundproof box. Like, fuck you.
