The rumours are true. Netflix is thrilled that so many of you have been watching Sandman, and the thing we were all hoping would happen... has indeed happened...

It's easy to argue for free speech when it's not you or your children or your whole family in the firing line! We have trans people of all ages living & breathing this right-wing attack from all over the world. Each word of ignorance is like a needle in our ❤️’s

First, it amuses me no end to watch the crows line up on the wall around our garden, each waiting their turn to get a bite of this tasty treat. And then, to watch the crow hold on for dear life on the edge of the swinging feeder, wings flapping while pecking madly at the feeder

At first, we had a few small wild birds visiting regularly, and it was good. It took a while to deplete the feed, and it finally ran out when I took an unexpected trip to South Africa. I refilled it, and added some variety in the shape of bird friendly peanuts, on my return.

I've recently installed two bird feeders in our garden. And by recently, I mean about a month ago. I filled them up with some wild bird seed, hoping to attract some new friends to the garden. It took the birds about two weeks to really trust the feeders...

Gentle Reminder: It can be VERY tough being neurodivergent in extreme heat. Not only is it uncomfy, it can physically/cognitively impair you & increase risk of heatstroke. PLEASE bring water when you go out & never, ever feel embarrassed telling *anyone* you need A/C. Advocate👊🏼

Today was particularly hard. We realised that we will just not be able to travel to Wacken this year, and I spent the morning cancelling hotels, trains, buses, etc.

There are lots of things to be angry about and you can be angry about many things at once without choosing only the absolute worst. But also anger is exhausting and can be corrosive to the one who carries it; it’s okay to step away sometimes and breathe and take joy if you can.

Cis people: I need you to understand (and help others understand) that “the trans debate” is NOT relevant “to only a small number of people” but to everyone. Thread below for why: (This is focused on cis women, but cis dudes I need you to listen too. You are also in danger.)

Stil unreal to think I live in a world where my father is not alive. It really does take a while to sink in.
I propose a show called GOTH ISLAND where sad beautiful types with unwashed but nonetheless gorge tangled hair, float around a draughty vicarage in huge black overcoats and mucho eyeliner, reading Voltaire and Emily Dickenson and falling VIOLENTLY IN LOVE with each other PLEASE
