Beautiful day of Psychogeography at Belper Pop-Up Art School

Like the saying goes: "Disability is the Only minority anyone can join at any time, and the only one everyone *will* join if they're lucky enough to live that long"

So the American government wants to put disabled people into camps, and the British government loves borrowing all their shittiest ideas. Attacks on disability benefits have been constant for years. It doesn't feel safe to exist right now.

Fibromyalgia + depression + BPD + autism + ADHD + addiction = I need to work so hard and yet be so very gentle. #recovery

Psychiatrist appointment today and I'm dreading it. The meds don't work, and she takes it personally, I'm the problem for having inconvenient side effects. #audhd #mentalhealth

As an autistic woman, I was groomed online

#Nayar #Nayer #Nair Testing: am I related to anyone on Bluesky?

Is there a word for the feelings felt reading an anthropological study on one's own folks?

I have things planned for this year. It's exciting and scary. Being gentle with myself. Taking it slow.

Tfw you edit the "sober" out of your bio

Chandrashekhar Azad the Indian freedom fighter once evaded British police looking for him on a train by disguising himself as the conducttor and escorting them from car to car helping them search

Home in England after 5 weeks in India. I can cope with the temperature drop, but the permanently white sky is starting to feel spooky.

Can't believe I only just discovered CJ Cherryh. Started with Rider At The Gates and I'm absolutely engrossed, life can wait, I've reading to be doing.

Got off the plane to find David Lynch has died. He cultivated an unsettlement that I recognised, and so many cultural touchstones, bonding moments with others who knew. Go well, good man.

Miramar Beach has a large fish. Everything designed for tourists is questionable except for this, this is excellent.

The mosquitos in Goa are different to the ones in Kerala, but also worse.

Christmas in Goa was a good idea.

Slavoj Zizek was in my dream last night, and he smelled really bad.

S. Pellegrino is short for "Sans Pelicans" (it's French) (no one likes Pelicans)

Less than a week til I go on holiday, and I've got a horrible cold 😖

Today 8 sad fascists held signs read by no one. We had a chant and a dance. The city turned to what matters: Christmas! Massive diverse lantern parade with representatives of every school, culture, community and creative org to celebrate the Lights Switch On.

Having to protest against racism in the year 2024 is so disappointing, Faragist creeps get off our streets.

Chocolate limes and Chocolate Orange are respected sweets, but no one wants a chocolate lemon? 🍋

Fantastic evening with Dr. Jo Bell and @robinince.bsky.social at @scarthinbooks.bsky.social Wonderful conversation and poetry. Books are life.

My orange nephew loves the crinkly paper.

The dangerous alliance between the criminal Kushner and Netanyahu families goes back decades. An excerpt from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags. #woke

Dead interesting talk last night from Energy on Tap in Glasgow. Getting the real tea on sustainable energy & the National Grid from professors of electrical engineering. The move to solar power & electric cars seems inevitable at this point, decarbonisation optimism.

Goodbye England, hello Scotland. To Glasgow we go!

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

Having a long distance partner is hard sometimes, love across distances, they went home and I miss them. #polyamory #ldr

I am a better chef than Wetherspoons. Remember when we boycotted them? That was fun.

Wow. This place is like the old place back when it was actually good.
