This year has been a fun writing journey but I’m really not so sure I want/care for any of it to be so public

Truthfully, I sat down to write (with a pen) and suddenly remembered I had this thing.

Obligatory sign of life post…

Of course the only practical response for everyday people is to be proactively addressing disabling language, access, and attitudes in our own lives
It’s on us, no excuse not to

It’s like he thinks the social model of disability is an instruction manual

Heard some old white guy is telling Autistic people what they can and can’t do
We know better though

Just popped in to read the news. What does one even post on 2025?!

Setting your out of office for the coming weekend as soon as you arrive on Monday is a form of self-care

What’s not to love about Chappell Roan coming in at number one!

Hottest 100 day and I’m gearing up to divvy my time between complaining that ‘it should have been higher’ and feeling old as I shazam songs

Bit of a break down Kangaroo Valley way.
Getting very caught up on reading and hiking

First Final Draft read for the year and it’s a strong start!

Gotta love LinkedIn’s optimism, sending me notifications on NYE!

Good morning from Cronulla

Happy Gravy Day to all who celebrate!

Cute cat sitting annoyingly in front of a computer screen

How did we do this long term during Covid?!

Office is having renovations and I’m working from home with just a wild amount of interference from my cats!

How’s everyone going with Whamageddon?

Good morning to everyone
Especially to all the Speechies supporting last minute requests for reports/consults/anything ‘before we finish up for the year’

The struggle to find an online space that balances engagement and respect is real.
I’m still vacillating between sources. Usually until I get a headache and need a little snooze

My fave thing about Twitter these days is when you’re plodding through the bile of any given news topic and up pops a strangely domestic/benign tweet from some unlucky soul who just happens to have a similar name or handle.
Not much to go on though is it?

Pouring rain up in the Mountains today. Nothing to do but read although I am considering putting together an end of year list of fave books from the show. Anyone interested?

December’s weird
We’re all limping to the end of the work year whilst simultaneously trying to ramp up our cheer
