Living with M.E., adhd, daily migraines, I'm a graphic designer, writer, Ayurvedic therapist, hula hoop performer and teacher, being a #spoonie and neurospicy interferes with moving life forward but I'm still forging a way to Mexico in a 5yr plan.

I had a nerve block yesterday. I scrape together €€€ for health insurance to get a private room so I can control sensory input. They stuck me in a ward with 4 people's noisy machines, lights etc. I woke to an M.E. crash with pain all over, I couldn't move til 9.30pm for water or meds. #pwme #adhd

Starting again can be hard. I have M.E #pwme, it leaves me fatigued, in constant pain plus chronic migraines. It took everything from me: graphic design, hoop dance coach, crafting, art, writing, etsy shop, travelling & "friends". This is me thawing my nervous system after 6yrs paralysed with fear.

A clay-like/ mud pair of figures, looking a bit shocked, with a small horse type figure to their left. Both have horns and look a little ghoulish/ demonic. Found in Wiltshire woodland in the 1970s. From Peter Underwood's book.

Found in a clearing of an unknown Wiltshire woodland. Fae folk or clay folk- either way rather unsettling!

An altar set up with a stained glass painting of a Goddess, candles lit, incense burning, Brigid cross hanging above a round celtic image, with a circular image of Buddha to the left and one of the om symbol to the right.

Cleansing with a new sandalwood smudge stick last night. I lit her up, boy did she burn fast. πŸ”₯ The room was engulfed in smoke. It soon became apparent it was not cooling down in the bowl so I had to run and quell it under water!

This is Millie, she had a cancerous tumor removed last year. The prognosis was 6-9mths before regrowth. They can't ethically operate again, it was so traumatic for her the first time, I don't want to put her through that again. But she has new tumors so please send some healing vibes her way. ✌️

Opinion | DEI and Disparate Impact The next step in restoring meritocracy is to reject the theory that proportionate outcomes equal fairness.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

One of the largest subreddits that covers white supremacy and far right figures just got temporarily banned. It was posting a lot about the financial groyper coup that's happening right now in America

Destiny accused of sex crimes by multiple victims
YouTube video by The Serf Times Destiny accused of sex crimes by multiple victims

Multiple women have come forward to accuse Destiny of either illegally sending revenge porn to a third party or filming them having sex without their consent.
Despite being one of the biggest political streamers it's barely getting any mainstream coverage

Our library has an app called borrowing you need your Irish library card but you can borrow ebooks, audio and epub I think. They have great titles in there I cancelled my audible. Libraries are great!

So sorry for your loss of Ted. My 4 Yr old cat got a second mass. I had to get it removed first time. But they gave her 6 months left with the second lump. Wouldn't put her through it again anyway. Grieving is such a tough time even if ya know its coming. I hope you'll have all the support you need.

My semi feral Fluffy has become an adorable chonk. I thought she needed an extra layer cause she prefers to sleep in the shed or kennel most nights. But it seems she put on a few more layers. We think she's perfect, but I did get her Hill's metabolic kibble to see if she can lose a few lbs.
