Earlier today I drove past a blowy old rehearsal room that we used many years ago. It brought back some memories...

Hey @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I want you to know that I've been a GP member for ten years and I've been wanting us to talk more about inequality forever, so I couldn't love what you are doing more. I want to scream about it from the rooftops. Please can we have some MAKE HOPE NORMAL AGAIN merch? ๐Ÿ˜€

If youโ€™ve ever explained something five times only to end up being labelled โ€œthe problemโ€โ€ฆ
This oneโ€™s for you.

A few thoughts on problem-solving, masking, and what happens when the empathy runs out.

Non-neurodivergent people are more than welcome too, especially if you have an interest in supporting people with #ADHD in your family, work or social circles.

Not for you? No worries at all. If you fancied sharing this post, though, I'd be incredibly grateful.

I used to think I just needed to find the right system. Now Iโ€™m wondering if that idea was the problem all along.

Poll predicts Keir Starmer will LOSE his seat to the Green Party at next election Though there's still a few years left until our next General Election, the Green Party renaissance will give Sir Keir some food for thought.

Let's make this happen. Together.

What I'm loving most about Bold Politics is that @zackpolanski.bsky.social is systematically disproving all the myths that have made people believe that a better society isn't possible.

It very much is possible- and these are the receipts.

The Gig Economy โ€“ Neurodivergent Opportunity? Or exploitation? The gig enonomy offers opportunities for neurodivergent and disabled people to work flexibly, but at what cost?

In my latest Substack post I share my experience of working within the gig economy, and discuss whether or not it represents an exploitation of neurodivergent people.

On my way to London, so apparently that means a new Substack post.

Iโ€™ve always struggled with metaphor, which is awkward when you spend your life making art.

Curious to hear how other neurodivergents navigate the tension between clarity and expression.

I'm not sure there is anyone left who actually believes that "Labour" is a party of Labour, but if you do, it's worth reading this.

I'm incredibly disappointed by the number of police officers "just doing my job", too.

We know who else was "just doing my job" in history, don't we?

I've been a member for a few years but not been able to get to a meeting, and I'm not keen on Zoom. I wonder if now is a good time to use the momentum to get everyone together in person?

Hope is important because we've had 15 years of governments telling us what ISN'T possible. It's so nice to hear about what IS possible instead.

And this country can be so much better.

100,000. BOOM.
