This is a very kind and wonderful young man who is once again doing his best to help others less fortunate. He deserves any support you can give.
My son, Indy, is doing another epic fundraising walk for Ukrainian refugees via @ukforunhcr.bsky.social. He is walking the 102-mile Cotswold Way in the depths of winter, photographing the Ukrainian flag in the changing landscape as he goes. He's already begun & will post updates regularly.
Indy Avery is walking 102 miles along the Cotswold Way to support Ukrainian Refugees and the UN Refugee Agency

So today I begin another journey around the Sun. My first birthday without my dad. On my last birthday he said my name which as he was unable to speak was the best birthday present ever. Amongst all my memories of him it's one of my most precious. Thinking of you today Pa. 😢

@haggistamer.bsky.social I have been informed that apparently, if you successfully complete a PhD in Finland you are presented with not only a top hat, but a sword as well. How cool is that? I should love to stroll around the town after the ceremony wearing my top hat and brandishing my sword!

Damn right!
I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.
Not because of some headline.
I’m autistic because that’s how
my brain works. Stop treating us
like a problem. Start listening to us.

Yesterday I saw the most important man in my life take his last breath. It was a privilege being his daughter and a better father I could not have wished for. I was so very lucky to have had him in my life. He gave me a wonderful life full of opportunities. I will miss him. Goodbye Pa, love you Pa.

This is excellent! Well done to The Guardian. Not a phrase I ever anticipated saying, but credit where it's due.
This is a wonderful piece of writing, a hard read in places but also full of the joy of music & life!
