Sometimes people ask if I am mute or aphonic. Technically, I am both. However, I usually stick to saying "mute" because the definition of aphonia is often twisted completely wrong.

Life amongst the books is a good place to be.

Even though I was cursed with my biological parents, my bio grandparents are a blessing. They treat me truly like their grandson and tend to spoil me. They're also friendly with my (adoptive) parents, which means the world to me. 😇 The latest gifts from my bio grandparents. #Adoption #Collectibles

"If I could open their heads like cupboards, I think I would find mess behind the doors. Jealousy folded badly, anger shoved in, fear that they will be seen as small. A need to win that never ends, a rulebook made of other people’s opinions, and a heavy thing called shame..."

A very insightful poem about bullying, its effects and the complex reasons children sometimes engage in this behaviour. I cannot emphasise enough how precious these works of understanding are, so please do read and follow this young man.

Kindness isn't just for humans; every gesture towards an animal counts. 🙏🙌🐾 🎨 VeganFTA

I'm still not 100% so I'm not very active right now. But I have put a poem up on my blog. I hope you enjoy it. mutedoodleden.com/case-not-fin... @sobukira.bsky.social @greennomad61.bsky.social #PoetryCommunity #AntiBullying

現在、台湾の原子力発電所は 全て稼働を停止しており危険はないのですが… 例えば 台湾の原発が稼働しており 中国がその原発をミサイル攻撃したとする 第3原子力発電所が破壊されれば 風向きにより台湾は全域居住不可能になると考えられます… 『戦争とは政治の延長であり最終手段』ですが… 中国がそれをした場合、目的は何なんですか？ｗ 自国にも被害が出ますが… 「台湾を住めなくしてやったぜ！」 「焦土作戦！戦争に勝った！」 …頭が悪いんですか？ｗ 『原発をミサイル攻撃する』という発想は 国家の発想ではなくヤカラとかテロリストの発想なんですよｗ 追い詰められたイカレた国家元首とか、なくはないけど…

15km圏内は急性被爆でほぼ全滅 100km圏は避難地域で住めなくなる しかも原発には使用済み核燃料があったりするので その場合は核兵器の1000倍以上 避難範囲は200～300km もっといえば 核再処理施設や核廃棄施設は放射性物質が圧倒的に多いので そっちの方がさらにヤバイ 現在でもチェルノブイリに人が住めないように 影響はずっと続きますし 現在、北半球は南半球に比べて これまでの核実験、核事故などにより 微妙に放射線量が高く数字に表れないていどで害があるわけですが 原発へのミサイル攻撃はそれ以上で 地球規模での害が数字に表れると考えられます つまり、それは世界を敵に回します

『原子力発電所はミサイルの標的』という 恐怖を煽る主張は昔から多いですけど… 狙われねーよ！ｗ 原子力発電所への攻撃は 非人道的行為としてジュネーブ条約で禁止されていますが ・ロシアがウクライナの原発を攻撃して占拠 ・ウクライナもロシアの原発をドローン攻撃 両国ともジュネーブ条約に違反していて これを根拠に『原発は標的』という主張が強化されてるんですが ミサイル攻撃とは話が違う！ 故にウクライナでは現在9基の原発が稼働してる😱 論点は 原子炉はロケット砲でも壊せない 原発への通常攻撃では起きても事故レベル でも ミサイルは原子炉を壊せる 放出される放射性物質は核兵器の最低１００倍

Happy new year to one and all. I hope 2026 brings you lots of love, happiness, and wisdom. Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku wszystkim! Mam nadzieję, że 2026 przyniesie wam dużo miłości, szczęścia i mądrości.

From me and my family (@mutedoodleden.com @boysdancetoo.blog), we wish everyone a good changing of years and a blessed start of 2026.

I received this gift from my godfather. For context: Kenny is my favourite character from South Park. It is actually my guilty pleasure because I am officially too young to watch it, but I like it anyway.

Logging in for a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I’m sorry for being so quiet here and on my blog. I’ve been really ill for almost two weeks and I'm still recovering. Hopefully, I'll be back to posting again properly very soon.

"The only trick of friendship is to find people who are better than u are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, & more generous, & more forgiving—& then to appreciate them for what they can teach u, & to try to listen to them when they tell u something abt yourself..." ~ Hanya Yanagihara

New poem up on my blog about the Australian under-16 social media ban. mutedoodleden.com/the-glass-wa... #SocialMediaBan #YouthVoices #Poetry #DigitalRights

“Caring for myself is not self indulgence, it is self preservation.” Audre Lorde We’re allowed to pause and look after yourself. You matter too. #kindness #positivity #SelfCare Picture by Positively Present

Just because Australia is first doesn't mean it's not our problem too. This affects all of us. Here's what I wrote to UNICEF Australia (@unicef.org.au). #SocialMediaBan #DigitalRights #ChildRights #LetUsSpeak #Australia

To everyone saying children and teens shouldn't be on the internet or social media: Go look at Article 13 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It’s not just a suggestion.

sometimes reporters get to talk to cool people, although we get our share of cruel and difficult people, too. this is one time I lucked out, and it's always such a relief to find out a star is really a nice person. apnews.com/video/netfli...

Love you too, @boysdancetoo.bsky.social . You really are the best big brother I could have asked for.

It’s really early and I should be asleep, but I wrote a poem instead. It explains a bit why I’m still awake. mutedoodleden.com/the-quiet-yo... #Poetry #Heartbreak #Relationships

Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.

If you do anything at all in children’s social care, please read this post. It is so important. So brave.

Want to know what it is like to be mute? To be autistic? To have grown up in foster care and then be adopted? To live with the trauma? I’ve answered it all in a new, very personal blog post. mutedoodleden.com/get-to-know-... #ActuallyAutistic #Adoptee #FosterCare #Mutism #CPTSD

Being vegan can feel lonely but ultimately wrong is wrong, even if most people are doing it. Right is right even if you feel like you are the only one

. @veganhorizon.substack.com So true. Oats, beans, peas, hemp seeds, chia seeds, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews, and a lot more after that—all sources of protein that don't need meat or any other animal product.

Thelymitra longiloba (marsh sun orchid) in open heathland near Genoa, East Gippsland, VIC. A widespread sp. in VIC but highly localised + only known from small disjunct populations. 10-12 plants at this location with most opening mid-morning - this is the first time I've seen this sp. #orchids

This is my latest poem, and it's deeply personal. It describes my experiences with anxiety (GAD) and panic attacks, as best as I'm able to put them into words. mutedoodleden.com/when-everyth... @greennomad61.bsky.social @sobukira.bsky.social @snowcalmth.com #Anxiety #Panic #Poetry #MentalHealth

"Everyone keeps saying it’ll get better, that this will end, that we’ll rebuild. But you can’t rebuild what was in my head before— the version of me that didn’t know this stuff existed." ❤️‍🩹

The fur trade is dying, and not a moment too soon.

An important poem about war and the devastating ways in which it haunts children, and so beautifully written. “They say children are resilient; that’s just a fancy way of saying we survive things we shouldn’t have to.”

Imagine it. No toys forged in distant factories, no screens glowing with borrowed dreams. Just 52 rectangles of faded cardboard, edges curled from a thousand shuffles by hands before his. In a life stripped to essentials, imagination is the ultimate wealth.

Please refrain from bleaching your #pumpkins to extend their lifespan. Although this tip is trending on social media this season, it can be harmful to #wildlife. Pumpkins serve as a #food source for many animals—deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, mice, rats, chipmunks, birds, and even insects.

Time for me to say what all the vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and others don't dare to say. Here is my latest poem. mutedoodleden.com/payback-seas... @greennomad61.bsky.social @calmthwroth.eu

"Maybe I’m just a kid, maybe I don’t get the “complex” stuff, but I know when people die, something is wrong with what we did, and choosing sides just isn’t enough. Choose life instead of being right, choose peace over winning the fight." ❤️‍🩹

My latest poem and doodle about my beliefs in this broken world. There are too many wars that don't need to happen. Centuries later and we're still killing each other over lines on a map—it's crazy and shows how little people in power care about actual human lives. mutedoodleden.com/people-arent...
