Don't want to be controversial, but I wonder if it was influenced by Blue Mink's Melting Pot (caution; epithets we don't use anymore appear) www.youtube.com/watch?v=sshZ...

Happy World Mental Health day to my fellow barmies, may all your antidepressants look like fat cocks If you squint (If you like such things of course)

Maybe you could repurpose a spice rack to keep the peace? πŸ˜€

Should you be looking for bathroom design inspiration here are some colorful ideas from the late 70s. Couldn't resist picking up a catalogue of sanitary ware from a local bus stop/ book swap. I mean, just look at the colour chart 😍

Heard a lot of apocryphal stories about British Leyland's Quality Control, but Autocar wouldn't lie, would they? Still, it's a beautiful car 😍

Theda Bara looking vexed

I had to engage with a AI-powered wellbeing chatbot called Wysa on Friday, I found it incredibly inaccessable and spent the weekend fretting abut it as I can't focus on webchats now so I ended up getting frustrated at myself. I'm chilling now and blaming it rather than me, but still grrr

Ah yes, the William S. Burroughs

If it's any comfort, I fell off a commode last time I was in hospital, very undignified 😁

Me and a spliff

For 30 years I've used a nice sparsely loaded spliff to deal with neurodiverse anxiety. It's very good for stopping catastrophising and for distracting from overthinking about bad things. Anyone else find the same?

It can take a while to working how to use them best, just take it easy (Not that I do 😁)

Autistically speaking, the thing I liked about being a car owner was that I saw it as a mobile safe space to retreat to when I was out 🏰
