Just a cis-male (he/him), LGBTQIA+ ally and father-of-4 navigating life, one mental health crisis at a time. Passionate about music, football and politics. Love getting outdoors with my dog (and cat) and exploring new ideas!

Today is Worldwide Autism Awareness Day. As a person who was only diagnosed with autism when I was 39, I can definitely get behind any bid to raise awareness of ASD. Much love to you all, especially all you amazing Aspies out there. ❤️ youtube.com/watch?v=T4AD... #Autism #ASD #Aspergers #Aspies

Hi ya. With my wee girl still off school following a tummy bug, decided to take her down to the #PeoplesPark in #Ballymena Had a lovely time just walking alongside the lake and playing in the park. Just the cure after a couple of days stuck in bed feeling unwell. #Duck #Goose #Swan #Honk

Almost slipped past me, today is International Transgender Day of Visibilty. Wherever you are, remember: You are valid, You are loved, We see you and we stand by you. Much love to you all. ❤️ #transgender #trans #TransRightsAreHumanRights #lgbT

Just taking a walk around #Antrim town this beautiful morning. Ended up in Steeple Park, home to this hidden gem - The Antrim Round Tower.

We’ve done it! We’ve turned a few silly pet portraits into £400,000 and counting raised for charity - please watch. youtube.com/shorts/2zNVR...

Just back from taking the dog for a walk in the early #Antrim morning. Does anyone else's cat follow them on walks? Ours will for a while but doesn't like big open spaces so we'll stop when I reach the field to let the dog off. #walkies #dog #cat

youtube.com/watch?v=bMPO... Sunday 30th March 2025 is #WorldBipolarDay, the birthday of Vincent Van Gogh who was diagnosed with biploar after he died. It is hoped that through encouraging understanding of this condition, we can banish the stigma that comes with mental health illnesses.

Working in #Belfast today but I made sure to bring home the goods. Verdict: Yum. #KrispyKreme

No cat pics today but allow me to introduce our dog, Willow. She met her twin at the dog park today. They didn't get on well (she's very protective of her ball and doesn't like to share). Still, a good walk and the run around tired her out. A little. She has endless energy.

🧵The welfare cuts announced today mean people don’t know how they’ll survive. Some fear they’ll have no choice but to take their own lives. This government must take responsibility for the impact of the Spring Budget on the mental health crisis. 1/5 #SpringStatement

Time to call a spade, a spade. Critism of Israel is not anti-semitism, it is an acknowledgement of what is happening right now in the real world - please sign: my.uplift.ie/petitions/re...

Important business meeting with my work colleague... ... this might take me right up to lunch time.

#GVerse #Attention LMAO!!! Pam Bondi has designated posting this photo is an act of domestic terrorism. Repost!!!

Just wanted to post a reminder of this event coming up on Wednesday 26th. If you're in the Belfast area, I hope you can make it and show your support.

@battywood.bsky.social Hey sis, how's it going? Thought I'd finally get on social media and BlueSky was the best option.

chng.it/XPV2WLWyWH I'm supporting the following petition to the Northern Ireland Assembly. This would benefit persons with a disability who struggle with getting around and ease the financial burden on them due to having to rely on public transport. If you can, please lend your support. 👍

The joy of working from home. Good to see my co-worker is already at his desk.

Hi ya. Darth here. First day on BlueSky. Thought I'd set up a social media place for myself as I would like to become more politically active (we'll see how that goes). And of course I didn't want to use X for obvious reasons. You never know, I might just post pictures of my cat instead. Cheers!
