I have been instructed that I have to bring down my blood pressure in order to be prescribed ADHD meds. Because when someone’s blood pressure is high from stress, adding another demand to the overwhelming list is a sure fire way to bring it down. 😒 I guess I’m not getting ADHD meds.

Where exactly, in the history of a grown adult falling over for no comprehensible reason, does one seek a neurological evaluation? Because this is my third major fall this year, and it’s getting absurd. Hip is swollen and purple, and ribs hurt when I breathe. 🙁

“I think this world renowned oncologist should be careful expressing opinions on health”. “I think a senior NASA flight engineer should stop casting doubt on the viability of our manned mission to Jupiter”. There is a word for both sides of this equation. One of them is “stupid”. #Vance #PopeLeo

Well, I got my ADHD diagnosis today, to the surprise of literally no one. Everyone is acting like I should be either shocked or overjoyed at the validation, but after this long, it’s kind of just another acronym. 😏

Watching #WickedForGood and - am I missing something? It’s not good. The design is very pretty, but the pacing is shocking, the characters are obnoxiously stupid and the music is - meh. I get why nine year old girls like it, but it’s just so insubstantial.

I have complete faith that the absolute fucking witchcraft my therapist is practicing on me, reintegrating all the fractured bits of self, is going to be tremendously healing in the long run, but the problem is that it’s 10 days till my next appointment, and I can’t breathe for terror. #DID #EMDR

Oh, apparently it’s #WorldAutismAwarenessDay as well, so fuck them some more. 🙃

There are so many words I could use to describe a gang of 12-13 year old boys, whose idea of fun is bullying a 7 year old autistic girl to the point of tears. I also have words for their parents. But I probably shouldn’t use any of those words in front of children.

To the skateboarder who just hurled a torrent of ableist slurs at a blind woman, for attempting to cross the road ahead of him: I cordially hope there is a tram coming when you reach the bottom of the hill. 😌

One of those therapy sessions where any attempt to describe the epiphany is going to make you sound MORE crazy.

Straight up admitting Trump is the Antichrist under their own theology. Anyone remember where the followers of the Beast are meant to end up?

Well this just sums up the anti-human bleakness of #AI

Oh good, murdering civilians AND making the UK a target, all to placate a demented paedophile and his “end of days” Christofascist handlers. Absolutely the UK electorate’s priority right now. 🙄

I don’t even know what to do with the news today. I’m so tired. Our continued existence is in the hands of a small number of pro-rapture Christofascists, who simply don’t care who, or how many, they have to murder. I can’t see how you can shut Pandora’s box now, America.

I just witnessed a member of Sheffield station staff sprint down platform and wrestle a man to the ground. A train was coming in and he was threatening to jump. Damn good reflexes there @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social, I assume this is one of yours, please send our thanks and good wishes.

So what we have here is an organisation manufacturing controversy and division, at the expense of both Black and disabled artists. WHY they did it must be thoroughly investigated and someone needs to be held accountable. #BBC #BAFTA

Just finished BBC’s #LordOfTheFlies. Bloody hell. Obviously, you know it’s going to be brutal, but - bloody hell. Beautiful, awful, theatrical, hallucinatory. Astonishing acting, from kids so young.

So I haven’t done this in a while and I’m feeling self-conscious about it, so let me explain first. I have episodes of psychosis. (My current diagnosis is CPTSD with DID features). Sometimes this is distressing, but overall I have been good at running the Crazy in parallel with my everyday life.

This could honestly change the lives of immune compromised friends who get ALL the winter bugs. Also teachers and parents.

Well, maybe I will never get to #AudioDescribe a #Punchdrunk show, but as of this evening I have at least ticked “directed by Felix Barrett” off the list. #ParanormalActivity. (Also, you know what? My timing was fucking impeccable.)

I know someone who “Mornington Crescent’s” A LOT, and despite being fairly well politically aligned with him, the relentless dragging gloom of it just makes me want to scream “shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!!” I think he does it to demonstrate he’s in the club.

I feel there’s research to be done on tribalism in left/right spectrum of politics. For example: I loved Neil Gaiman. Rapist? Dead to me. To A LOT of his typically liberal audience. Whereas on the right, you have evidence a President repeat visited pedophile island, but uh-uh, no way, one of ours!

The road to fascism is paved with everyone pointing to coal mine canaries and saying "that's just a dead bird. It doesn't mean anything."

I’m not doing well. I’m seeing #Epstein images and discussions on my feed and it’s reinforcing my belief that nowhere is safe. That even if it ISN’T all men, most of them will make excuses for the ones that it is. When you’re powerless, how do you make peace with a world like this?

Well, I just did my last #AudioDescription for #MammaMia at the Novello. (The last until someone calls in sick, anyway). It was never my cup of tea, but you do have to appreciate the sheer joy it brings its audiences. It’s also the gig that bookended lockdown for me, so that will always be weird.

Where are you, #ProLife #Christian #Republicans? This is a CHILD. If you can’t even fight for HIM, what is the point of ANY of your arguments? If you look away, you will have to answer for it one day.

I’ve been doomscrolling for years, but there’s just never been this quality of doom before. Covid came close, but we could at least imagine we were making a difference then.

I just saw this picture of a five year old, with his school bag and little blue bunny hat, being put into an #ICE vehicle, and I am not getting anything else done today. I don’t even believe in hell, but if you defend this - if you even THINK about HOW to defend this - I hope you burn.

Anyone got a guess what this word might be? From context, it’s probably a colour, but I’ve no idea. #WritingInTheDark #AudioDescription

I’m pretty sure when people talk about therapy only being effective if you “do the work”, they don’t usually mean having two separate therapists encourage you to spend more time with your delusional Voices, only for you to go “no, I’ve got too much being-a-functioning-adult to do, first”.

Oh, this is taking a turn right away from the fantastic. I thought it might be Luddite, at first, but it’s much sharper. Colonialism, capitalism, death of the soul. #TheRoseField Certain people would ban it in schools, if they could understand it.

A reminder that you can report X and Grok in the App Store and get them removed. Just go down to “report a problem”

Rewatching #Pluribus already. Probably the most original series watched - well, last year now, I suppose. I mean, I only managed to watch about four series in total, but it’s still pretty damn good.

This year has not got off to the best of starts. Today’s event was slipping on black ice during the school run, and I’m pretty sure I’ve cracked my coccyx. I can barely walk.

Our heating has packed up. It is below freezing outside, and 10c in the house. #CriesInRaynaudsSyndrome

A good way to tell who’s abled online at the moment, is to look at who’s crowing about Trump potentially being killed by 325mg of aspirin (fractionally more than one standard tablet). Have you any concept of how many painkillers some of us have to consume daily?? Stop spreading false hope!

Right now, the main thing standing between us and WWIII, is the existence of someone in the inner circle with sufficient moral courage to shoot the glorious leader in the head, before he tries this nonsense on a NATO member country. So we’re probably fucked.

Why have I scripted the line “Max successfully sits” in this #AudioDescription? Do I hate myself? Don’t answer that.

#TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea: Generally slightly didactic and silly fun, but you’re telling me they had the ability to return the pollution to the land, yet held off and kept dying for years - so that they could wait to make a dramatic point?

The crazy is still at its most potent at this time of year. And, as ever, it is when I have the least time to surrender to it. I’m not sure what it says when two separate therapists are going to”No, really, you need to listen to your hallucinations MORE.”

Well, after several years of hearing such sad announcements with increasing frequency, it was finally the train I was on that hit a person on the tracks. 😥

The fact a tribunal upheld this bullshit decision is particularly distressing. God forbid disabled people LIVE. And I hope whoever “drew the DWPs attention” to the video, experiences their own traumatic disability, the miserable, snivelling, wannabe stasi snitch. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is remarkable. We often speak about the arts being “inspirational” in an optimistically woolly sense, but here we have an example of totally unexpected real world change.
