I'm convinced Teams calls are purely for presenteeism and showing how terribly important and busy people are.

I couldn't remember what I agreed with my tattoo artist to get on my forearm to finish my sleeve.

I just asked two autistic people in my life & both of them remembered.

I messaged my tattoo artist to ask her & she confirmed what they said.

Who needs memory when you have autistics in your life?

I finished contracting on 10th December and the wheels *immediately* fell off and now my "routine" is completely absent.

And you know what?
It's freeing.

Not a single part of me wants to do the same thing at the same time everyday.

Wrote a poem yesterday in about 5 minutes.

Hadn't written for all of 2025.

Probably won't write again in 2026.

Such is life.

We obviously watched it.

I'm back on here after locking myself out. Again.

It me

Email bankruptcy?!!!

Finally gave in and switched clothes around from summer to winter.

Why fool myself any longer?

At our local coffee shop, Bran gets a warm welcome. The staff see us coming and say "Hi Bran!" As he trots to the counter to retrieve his treats and pets from every staff member

The Crow was so bad I was gripped with pure rage?

Watched The Crow (2024) last night.

Even fucking worse than I expected. Absolutely diabolical from the first time we saw Shelly.

Watched Frankenstein (2025) just now.

Absolutely unbelievable. The production design. The cinematography. Everything.

It was obviously my Google Wallet, wasn't it?

I got a new phone and did the thing where you can just transfer everything from one Android to another but I feel like I've definitely forgot something and I reckon it's probably something that will be discovered at a very inconvenient time.

The internet is sometimes a wonderful place

I am absolutely bereft now.
I have no focus.
I'm between passions.

I am so bored my Garmin stress level is soaring.

What do now?
How do I find something that grips me?

What is life.

Putting this here to test the waters.

We're doing @accessgiven.bsky.social again! But we're looking for:

1. Sponsors: cash, skill-swap and specific things (catering, Pay-it-Forward tickets, sensory room)

2. Volunteers who might help us out on the day in exchange for a ticket.

Any leads??

Is an 8ft posable skeleton a bit OTT?

Asking for me.

Paging @craigabbott.co.uk

This is Bran. He's a purebred staffy, 19 months old. He's absolutely daft and his favourite thing in the world is being around people and stealing their hearts.

He's 15kg of pure muscle and cuddles.

For some reason, I thought you were aware!?

Someone just reminded me that I OWN a house with a FRONT GARDEN and Halloween is coming.

Let the decoration shopping commence.

I remember this face

An image of Bran, a brindle Staffordshire bull terrier, sitting on a chair in a park facing a chess board. He looks mischievous with his tongue hanging out. He's squinting in the sun.

Was in an all-day workshop from 9:30-4:30 and left with a headache because of the overhead lighting and lack of windows.

Who'd have thought that office environments aren't easy for neurodivergents????? Not meeeeeee.

Although proud of me for not sniffing the Sharpies.

Me this morning:

This workshop is planned for all day. I doubt it will.

Me now: this will take all day.

Of course @ellenkateboyle.bsky.social had been in the account and interacted with things because she remembers things.

She has also reminded me of password so now I can be chaotic in two profiles 🙂

In classic ADHD style I've forgotten the password to the @accessgiven.bsky.social account but thank you to everyone who came and I will find the password when I am less overwhelmed!

Lol this is me. I have three roles and ADHD and a chronic illness with fatigue as a constant. It's a battle of various systems
