So so tired from our trip. Four days of travel and/or doing stuff is really catching up with me :( Had a lovely time though :D

Sometimes birds just don’t look like they could be real… like this great egret that we got to watch fishing at WWT Arundel #UKBirding

Assumed this was a cormorant when we were taking the photos but is it a shag? From our little trip to west sussex coast. #UKBirding

I missed this

Gentle reminder to listen to actual autistic people about autism.

We are just minutes away from being reunited with cats after a few nights away and I cannot wait to see them 😭

Good haul at the autism gift shop (a pebbley beach)

Ten years of being married :D

I’m glad I don’t stay in hotels often because this ‘accessible’ bathroom is a nightmare

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

You know me, I love a radar key gate that makes things more accessible. I did have to laugh at this one though 😂

Took zapain last night which is paracetamol + codeine. Does this mean I’ve super charged my autism? Is this why I spent the evening special interesting, pouring over bird books and photos of birds?

The reaction Disney fans are having makes think maybe the Harry Potter fans are just bigots who don’t care after all.

My dad didn’t put music on (only radio 4) in the car till after he retired. I only remember him getting two CDs, bob marley and queen. He listened to them so loudly he blew the speakers in his car 😂

Nice morning at Clevedon sea wall. So many meadow pipits, lots of dunlin and ringed plover. Saw little stint and knot thanks to some lads with a scope (thank you!). Was so annoyed to see someone letting their dog chase the plovers :( #AvonBirds

Cleaned the house 😭 Launched my vimto squash everywhere 😭 Cleaned that up 😭 Stubbed my toe on the way back to finish my dinner 😭

kit is two years on HRT today!!! help her celebrate by donating to help cover some of the debts she’s accumulated in that time the nhs is non-existent for trans healthcare, we have to do it all ourselves, and we can’t do it without your help and you can get a print too! #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund

A month ago this guy’s blood test results were all wonky and it was pretty worrying. We changed his meds and now he’s ‘normal’ 😁

A little cat who loves sunshine

Life seems very much agh fascism, everything is awful, and then, can I interest you in this frivolous little item because I need money to live....? so can I?😬😫 doodlebethshop.etsy.com/listing/8324...

Well posting this on Facebook has been fun so far :/ Blocked someone in a trump bikini and someone else whose profile was covered in flags and saying they're 'just a concerned citizen' and then more flags

BBC disability journalist calling people neurodiverse. Does the style guide have it wrong or something? A person cannot be neurodiverse, only a group of people can. People are neurodivergent (or neurotypical)

If you ever see me out and about, just know that....

Friends and friendlies on here: don't stop talking about your lives and joys. I know some folk are quiet or staying away what with *everything* but posts about cats and books and funny shaped puddles are essential to us getting through it. And shouldn't be drowned out by the fash.

I am not awake enough to be at the dentist 😭

UwU

I wanted to create a loose sketch of my little cat on their adventure. I made it a bit more fun by making my pencil multicoloured (colour jitter in Procreate). I think that the kitty probably wants a friend though? camping on your own isn't so fun!

I've broken my website and my Bsky handle :'(

Definitely a low battery day today! You can get your pin here doodlebethshop.etsy.com/listing/6290...

Arty (cat) used to be so anxious about everything and would hide whenever the doorbell went and wouldn't come out till the person had been gone atleast an hour. Today he helped the plumber service the boiler. Gave headbutts, meowed to get their attention. Clearly old age has mellowed him.

Arty is having a hard time. No one has rubbed his belly in over three minutes.

We go to our local nature reserve every Sunday morning and pretty much every time we are faced with scenes like this in the hides, plus lots of vandalism. It’s so depressing :( I used to go drinking with friends in parks etc all the time in my youth but we always took our litter home.

A lot of excitement today at north pools in the Portbury Wharf nature reserve this morning. A red-backed shrike. Excuse the dismal photos, it was very far away! #AvonBirds #PWNR

Today’s wisdom: when in doubt, doodle cats. #art #sketchbook #caturday

Daz is away today so it’s a day of fending for myself. I have played pikmin in my pjs and watched telly with cats. I took Pixie and Molly out in the garden to sniff things and look at stuff. Resisted the urge to order food for lunch and had toast.

It's my birthday! I would love some reposts to share some of my favourites of my illustrations today! 😊 #digitalArt #commissionsOpen

I hate to admit this but I'm short of my rent that's due Friday so if anyone fancies a little shopping this week I'd be super grateful!😅 I'm offering 15% off orders over £20 for a little birthday sale this week in hopes of making the shortfall! abistevens.etsy.com #artShop #ArtistSupport #BSNM

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

It’s nearing dinner time and she’s started yelling at me so I think she’s better.

Has anyone else found their instagram flooded with awful right wing trash so it’s made it even more impossible to use? I miss the old days of chronological pictures from people you follow.

magpies are great, sorry to the magpie haters out there who are missing out on enjoying a thing

Because I'm so limited in how much drawing I can do before the pain gets bad, I've been focusing on Doodlecats (because captialism, I need money) but it makes me resent it because all I really want to draw birds. I've decided I'm allowed to draw a little bird as a treat.

Poor little Pixie cat isn’t feeling great after her vaccination yesterday :( hopefully it won’t last long. It’s weird and sad when she’s not being a silly little goblin.

Rewarding ourselves with pieminister pies after our exhausting vet trip. I just wish they still did the goat cheese one. That was soo so good.

Note to self: never do that again! Arty had a wonderful time. He’d happy get attention from vets all day. Molly and Pixie made it very clear they hated everything. I’m so exhausted.

Three cats in their carriers. It’s off to the vets we go

Based on our Molly, this cat loves to be weird. www.doodlecatsshop.co.uk/stay-weird-c... We can ship to the USA again, yay!
