Yes, that would be ace. Think I just want someone to drop something essential/noisy or rush around a bit. Guess no one ever took up knitting for the adrenaline rush though!

Amongst everything else, struck by the β€œlogic” that trans folk are a β€œvery, very, very” small group and so the government were being ridiculous supporting trans rights. Erm…

I’m somehow enthralled - dogs in woolly hats! - but I think it struggles with a real lack of tension. Watching people sit quietly knitting just isn’t that engaging unfortunately, and the format somehow hasn’t managed to inject the usual sense of jeopardy. Still watching though!

Awh man, I’m sorry. Glad the intrusive thoughts have quietened. I found attributing mine to a gang of goblins living in my head made it a bit easier to tell them to fuck off! Go easy on yourself, hour by hour, day by day πŸ«‚

I listened to the same track for 90 minutes on the way to Bristol in the summer. Great 90 minutes.

Con’s are really overwhelming - I always do less than I expect. I’m redcloaking so I get told when to be here this time though! Hope you have a good afternoon.

Aha! I promised I'd buy no more notebooks, but I said nothing about minimalist paper-based to-do managers. Happy days.

Mouse in a loaf is lovely. But now I'm worrying about whether I should be worrying about whether my shoes are happy.

I’ll definitely want one. Really excited to see this exists now after hearing you talk about it last year.

Love this idea! I dropped you an email (cos I’m old and still think in email) but, in case it’s lingering in spam, just to say here too that my AuDHD editor self is up for helping if I can.

Somewhere there’s a mortified editor shouting, β€œI tried to tell her!β€œ

Research has shown that support from friends, families, and communities can have a huge positive impact on trans people’s mental health.

It’s up to all of us to create the kind of world where trans and non-binary people can thrive.

The ADHD is really objecting to desk time today. It’s demanding I put some music on. There is ALREADY music on. Loud, shouty metal music. Apparently this is not enough πŸ™„ #ADHD #AmEditing

A grey schnauzer dog and a black schnauzer dog stand on a lawn. The grey dog has a stolen slipper in his mouth and a cheeky look on his face.

Careful what you wish for-these two passed a slipper between them rugby style to get it past me!

Whilst the I Cannot Write stage is a certified inevitable writer affliction (why does it have to be like this?!) and I'm just a reader looking forward to Saltcrop, please tell your brain from me that your books are ace and it can stop being mean to you right now and let you get on πŸ‘

A grey schnauzer dog sits on a light blue and grey rug. He is averting his eyes from the TV which is showing the penalty shootout at the end of the Women’s Euros 2025. A Spanish player is about to take a penalty.

As the Lionesses celebrate with the fans in London, Max allows himself a moment to remember the tension of the penalty shoot out. #WEURO2025 #Lionesses #WOSO #Schnauzergang #dogsofblueaky
