Day 1 of going on a walk for my mental health. Visited Wakehurst, which I'm very lucky to live a few miles from. #nature #mentalhealth #wakehurst

Surveying his kingdom

This morning I got up late (according to my younger 🐈)...he decided to play with his toys...loudly... ...I don't need an alarm clock. #Caturday

Hiding in my car to listen to Redhanded podcast and eat lunch. Important decompression time off the ward. #nhs #redhanded

One of the first RPGs I played. Started a life long love of fantasy and roleplay games.

For no particular reason, here’s a barn owl. I saw it on Christmas the year before last. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen. To see it at all was lucky. To have it sitting in the winter sun uncovered by branches was a damn miracle. Is that one beautiful owl or what?

Felix is actually focaccia dough #cat

“I told you if you hold on to clothes long enough they come back in fashion” From the new Private Eye, out now.

Watched the film Children of men the other night. Well, that aged into reality in so many ways.

Resting

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back. Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands. #art #tiger #resist #linocut

Stop blaming disabled people. Stop blaming disabled people. Stop blaming disabled people.

Saw this in The Queery Brighton. Sharing for all that may find it helpful 🩷 #sw #swiswork #sexwork

I went to a Radical Herbalism Gathering in 2016, while doing a BSc in Herbal medicine. I listened to talks on activism and learned more about how to help others and move away from heavy materialistic and individualistic thinking. I feel those roots are asleep, and I want to wake them up again.

Love this book! It's wholesome

The idea of a Labour government was supposed to address the needs of the working class. Not the companies that exploit us. There is absolutely no point in a Labour government with conservative economic and social policies. Change, my arse.

If I could help non disabled people understand one thing about being disabled, it would be how important maintaining a baseline is. When you’re chronically ill, your baseline is everything. Even minor setbacks can be catastrophic, so we have to do a risk analysis before literally ANY activity 🧵

I saw this book prominently displayed at our local library. I will read it with my family. Educate yourself and others. #booksky #bannedbooks

Muddy ducks! Sound on to hear cute feeding noises. Any duck experts around? We think one is innersex as they have had mixed features for well over a year. You can see them in this video, we named them Rowan. #ducks #birds #ornithology

It’s okay to be disabled and have a very complicated, very messy relationship with what being disabled actually means for you.

I became a Felix bed. It's forbidden to move.

With video games, when were "the good old days" for YOU? When were the times when you felt the absolute coziest in your gaming adventures? I want to know what that era is for you and what it felt like!

My partner referred to me planning our garden as watching an autism simulator, and tbh he's not wrong. I'm just very into this project right now ok? I could even use the program to add the ducks 🦆 #garden #neurodivergent #plants #autistic

I feel seen.

I got back into Magic the Gathering after a 10 year break. Did a lot of organising. Anyone else play? #mtg
