I am in awe of the bravery of the Iranian people, who are standing up for their freedom against a brutal regime and decades of authoritarian, theocratic rule.

People talk about disabled folk who give up work as if it’s the first thing we stop doing… When actually it’s usually the last. By the time we stop work, our social lives, many of our relationships, and most of the things we enjoyed, are already a distant memory.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1765

The new Barbie comes with a range of accessories to reflect her status as an autistic woman, such as: - noise-cancelling headphones - a fidget spinner - intense social media scrutiny about how she's Being Autistic Wrong

I never really imagined that my mid life crisis would be fighting fascism.

Support and solidarity to all the women, trans people, disabled people, and everyone else who is being harmed by the current harmful rhetoric, social climate, and governments trying to cause harm to the most vulnerable. You all deserve better.

Sometimes I borrow books I already have at the library so I have a deadline to read them

Genuinely a huge problem in the UK is the amount of political ignorance there is. People don’t understand politics, policies, local or national Governments, etc… And it causes so many issues… socially, economically, environmentally, and just how people go about their lives.

"Hahaha" said Gandalf, hitting his weed pen for the seventeeth time that hour. "Fuck".

underseen lovecraftian horror film UNDERWATER starring Kristen Stewart was released today in 2020 #filmsky

i think finding the joy and whimsy in my life and having hope for the future is actually really punk rock of me in these current times

Sleeepy kittyyyy

Say what you want about film remakes but even if a remake is bad, I always feel inclined to check out the original to see why it warranted a remake in the first place. Often I end up enjoying two films; sometimes cos they are similar and I enjoy the story, sometimes cos they are so different.

Every made for streaming series needs to be released for DVD at the bare minimum.

The more apps, companies, services etc that introduce AI shite, the more I realise how much I don’t need them in my life.

People who think fascism will listen to reason and peace do not know history.

Today has been a tough day. Emotions are high and people are hurting. They’re scared. They’re angry. It’s ok to take a break. It’s ok to log off. It’s ok if this has caused a flare or taken all your spoons. Whatever you’re feeling is ok. Take a break. Rest is resistance.

Good info to have if you need it

When someone seems off-put by me, sometimes I tell them I’m neurodivergent, and then see them instantly understand and become comfortable. But my behavior hasn’t changed. They just accept it. I don’t understand why they can’t just be accepting in the first place.

#AuDHD burnout fucking sucks. I always think I know when to slow down and pull back a little, but inevitably I end up exhausted, in pain and feeling like I’m seconds away from a meltdown most of the time🙃

“Let kids be kids” includes letting Queer kids be Queer kids, by the way.

2026 better contain bug fixes and improvements

This year, I've decided to consume media that I already own over anything from subscription services. I can't afford 10+ different subscriptions, so I no longer pay for any of them. Instead, I have plenty of DVD box sets, books, CDs, and more that I can enjoy.

It's the weekend, baby

I had to take out one of my second lobe piercings as it was irritated beyond belief. I slept on it one night when I was really sick, and while out cold, I must've moved my head, and my ear was practically embedded in the pillow part of my piercing pillow😭

Happy 2026

Dear autistic community, May this new year be filled with: - acceptable textures - sufficient executive function - people who don’t say “but everyone’s a bit autistic” - instructions that are actually complete - being believed the first time ❤️

welcome 2026!

Your daily calm.

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

I often do more out because I know that when the pain lessons, I will be exhausted and unable to do anything, sometimes for days afterwards.

it’s all i’ve got

Well great start to the year… power cut. The website says it’s been restored, in my area, but the automated phone line is saying it’ll be another hour or two before it’s back on🫩

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Happy New Year 🥰🎉

This is what I see waking up every day;

A brilliant thread on just a handful of Scottish #WomenWriters 💙📚

Delroy Lindo is on a long list of actors long overdue for an Oscar nomination. He might finally break that ceiling with his role in Sinners. We caught up to talk about Ryan Coogler's "brilliant" epic, and, as always, he has some keen observations to share

The joy of ADHD with fatigue, is that I can’t have a coffee or caffeine to try and “wake me up”… because it actually does the opposite to my brain.

AI has only made the world a worse place. Basically going to start boycotting any organization that uses AI for customer service.
