I forgot to post this here at the start of the game, but you can see the timestamp on Instagram or TikTok if you don't believe me when I say I helped manifest that Patson Daka goal! #lcfc #leistk

Well done everyone!

Saw some Reform voter stats and the breakdown is fascinating. They're not all thoughtless. If it wasn't for the immigration (non-)issue you might even consider one subsection lefties. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is showing that there's an option that doesn't involve scapegoating other poor people.

I post regularly on #Substack about #ADHD and #neurodivergence. I write from first-hand experience and use real-life scenarios to try to educate people on the unseen challenges of living with an invisible disability.

I've been thinking about how people with good communication skills often have their support needs overlooked. A friend mentioned her daughter's experiences at school yesterday, it got me reflecting.

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

If you’ve ever explained something five times only to end up being labelled “the problem”…
This one’s for you.

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

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

An amazing effort by the Fight Factory team last night! Over £6k raised for Sophie's Journey at a Bodyslams to Cancer last night. Always a joy to be part of this.

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

I’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.

Ah, #Brighton / #Hove. Where everything is weird and nothing is weird. One day I shall return for good. Hopefully the weather will, too.

#StreetPhotography
A small powered boat sailing on the sea is in focus in the background. It is travelling from left to right and there are two people on board - one is clearly controlling the boat near the engine, while the other sits on the opposite end. Out of focus in the foreground are two people (one white male wearing glasses on the left, one male with light brown skin on the right), conversing while leaning on a barrier. The boat sits perfectly placed between them. There is also part of a red and yellow flag visible at the bottom of the image - this a lifeguard flag to signify it is okay to swim, with caution. It is a sunny summer afternoon. A man with dark brown skin is holding a skipping rope and it mid-skip, with the rope forming and arch above his head. He is topless, though he appears to have some kind of monitoring device strapped around his stomach. He wears grey shorts, white socks, and white trainers. In the distance is a Regency-era building, while directly behind the subject is a blue metal fence and a grassy area, next to a road with multiple cars, some of which are moving, some of which are stationary. The man is skipping on a black mat, and there is a white water bottle on the floor next to him. There is also a small black item - possibly a speaker or small bag. The mat is placed on a grey pavement, that makes up most of the foreground. The man's head is tilted towards the sky, his eyes appear closed, and - because he has been captured mid-skip - his mouth is in a slightly stretched expression. It is a sunny summer afternoon. Two men walk away fom the camera, on the promenade on a Hove beach. They are holding hands. The man on the left is white and wears a cyan vest with black shorts. The man on the right is white and wears a multi-coloured vest covered by a backpack, with black shorts. Both wear white socks and trainers. The man on the right walks with a bike in his right hand. In the distance, there are multiple people, as well as a cafe building and part of the i360. It is a sunny summer afternoon with no clouds in the sky. It is a sunny summer afternoon. In the foreground, two people are having a discussion - they are both out of focus. On the left is a light brown skinned man, wearing all black with a black baseball cap, and an Anonymous mask on his right arm, as if resting. On the right is a white woman wearing a multicoloured dress. Between them, further away from camera, is a person wearing a baseball cap and a black dress. They have pigtails. They are wearing an Anonymous mask and they hold a monitor which plays footage from inside an animal slaughterhouse, but we cannot make this out because there is a strong reflection on the screen. Behind this person is a Brighton street (New Road). To the left are some green branches hanging over from Pavilion Gardens.

From today's #StandUpToRacism walk in #London.

#NoToFascism #StreetPhotography
A Stand Up to Racism protest in London. The image is framed so that we see the heads of many protesters, and an old beige building on Russell Square behind them. The central focal point is a handwritten placard saying "TOMMY ROBINSON PERSONALLY KNEW 22 NONCES WITHIN HIS EDL MOVEMENT" in pink on a white background. To the left we can also see a pink placard saying "SMASH THE FAR RIGHT", and to the right is a Palestinian flag.

A contemplative couple, Leamington Spa.

#StreetPhotography #LeamingtonSpa
A pond in the centre of a very green park in Leamington Spa. Inside the pond are five streams of water being fired into the air and bending back down to the left. In the foreground, on the right, is a tropical-looking tree with a green bush around its base. There are two wooden benches next to a path on the near side of the pond as we look at it, and there is a metal fence around the perimeter of the pond. On the bench closest to the centre of the image, a couple are sat with arms around each other. They are both white. He is wearing a black beanie hat and a beige shirt. He has shoulder-length brown hair. She has long bright blonde hair and wears a black top. He stares towards the pond, while she appears to be looking towards him, though we cannot see her face. There are huge green trees in the background.

Another one from #LeamingtonSpa, a month or so ago.

#StreetPhotography #UKPhotography #FujiFilm
A light blue street art installation. Four young men with light brown skin are to the left of it. Two are sitting on a bench, two are standing. One of the standing men, in a green jumper and jeans, is smiling and holds a mobile phone in his right hand. Another, in a grey polo shirt and dark yellow shorts, leans against the street art. One man sitting holds his hand against his neck in a thoughtful pose. He is wearing a light coloured top and has headphones resting around his neck. The other sitting man is dressed in all black - a jacket and jeans. Behind them are some closed shops (a haberdashery, hair studio, and sandwich shop), and three industrial bins that are grey with orange lids. There is a tree on the left-hand side of the image.

Pic for algo tax
Two people (middle aged, brown skin) walk from the left to the right of the frame in an urban environment (Nuneaton centre). The man pulls a shopping bag behind him, while the woman walks with a black walking stick with intricate white decoration. In the background is a white wall with some interminable graffiti tags in black, red and blue, and some black piping. On the right hand side there is an old English phone box that has been painted in a multitude is colours - bright pink at the top, then to salmon pink, then orange, the yellow, then pink with purple spots, then purple. At the very bottom there is a logo/graffiti stamp that says GRITGRIT in two shades of pink, with a yellow foot icon next to it. Both people look tired and are staring at the ground slightly ahead of them.

Is it still #StreetPhotography if it features a river?*

One of the #RiverLeam, shot in #LeamingtonSpa a month or so ago. The park and surrounding grounds are beautiful - I really enjoyed this walk.

*Who cares? There are no rules.
A river where the water is dark and has strong light reflections coming from it. The river contains six people in six different coloured kayaks (one yellow, two cyan, one black, one red, and one pink), paddling away from the camera and towards a bridge at the top of the image. The bridge is in the distance and has a tall, bright light blue stanchion pointing up on the right-hand side. Beneath the bridge is a small man-made dam. Either side of the river is lots of bright green foliage and trees. There are also bright green lilypads on the river. The sky is blue with a lot of cloud coverage.
