Balancing work, his family and forest spirits, we're celebrating every Dad and father figure doing their best like Tatsuo this weekend! 🏠💚 #FindYourSpirit

Today’s adventures in vintage #Lego. Car and caravan.

'I don’t overshare because I like to talk about myself, I overshare because I feel like I’m more tolerable with context'

At the theatre tonight. Guess which play I’m about to see.

Rooting for the Mouse.

**sigh**

We're celebrating 100 performances of #MyNeighbourTotoro at the Gillian Lynne Theatre! 🏠🌱 #FindYourSpirit

One of the best songs of my teenagerdom.

Yattah! We're excited to announce #MyNeighbourTotoro will be participating in #OLTKidsWeek! 💚 Children 17 and under, go free with a full paying adult. We can't wait to welcome you to our neighbourhood! 🏠 #FindYourSpirit

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

From the forest to Trafalgar Square! We're excited to announce that #MyNeighbourTotoro's singer, Ai Ninomiya will be performing at #WestEndLIVE! 🌱✨ #FindYourSpirit ©️ Manuel Harlan

FYI... Autistic people tend to think in complexities. Someone can ask us to do something seemingly straightforward, but our brains will often make it into something extremely complex and nuanced. We ask questions to untangle our thoughts.

hey a small request: don't use fucking LLMs or generative "A.i." for anything. they destroy your brain. they're wide open to manipulation by right wing billionaires. they're full of lies. they're based on theft. just say no.

Guys, it may be a small victory, but I managed to fix the sofa and it’s been on my to-do list for ages. You have to celebrate the wins, no matter how small. 🥳

cannot believe how many people argue "democrats lose elections because some strangers online hurt my feelings" and aren't immediately mocked out of public life

Nick Clegg says enforcing copyright law would kill AI overnight. Dick Turpin says executing highwaymen will result in huge drop off in roadside robbery. Hannibal Lecter says adhering to current legislation would see cannibals incarcerated.

A majestic Gavin for #caturday.

If the dystopia doesn’t get you, the secondhand embarrassment will. And then the sickening waste of money. And then the scientific illiteracy.

Lost in the magic of the forest. A moment of wonder and adventure. 🌳  #FindYourSpirit ©️ Manuel Harlan

We are headed for the meat grinder. We should head away from the meat grinder. It would be nice to walk away from the meat grinder, but we need to be pragmatic. We understand your concerns about the meat grinder. It is not fair to call those who want to enter the meat grinder ’self-destructive’.

*Copy one of Boris Johnson's stupidest and most self-destructive policies. *Ignore the massive wave of public fury it ignited. *Smear and attack anyone warning that it might not be a great idea. In this week's column I ask what the hell Keir Starmer is playing at. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tonight’s entertainment:
