I'm a nonbinary AuDHD Irish artist, animation student and petsitter with ME/CFS. This year I finished my thesis on autobio comics about mental illness and now I'm starting production on my mixed media grad film about my balcony seagull Gullermo who has kept me company through the quiet years!

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

In Stoneybatter, a seagull bonded with a local business owner. “Most of the music studios have cats; we don't have a studio cat, we have a studio seagull,” says Al Cowan, owner of Sonic Recording Studios.

My mam loves to de-stress from her troubles by winding herself up watching the most depressing movies known to mankind. They are like catnip to her

![The Second Coming
By W.B. Yeats
Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
[Chorus]
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
(I said) The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

Was about to post 'sunflower seed hulls are great for when you're craving pencil shavings and ice lolly sticks' and then I googled it and discovered I could be giving myself intestinal damage by eating sunflower seed hulls. Back to pencil shavings it is then

Listen I don't want to talk about it but I think Mike Wozniak in Taskmaster is giving me gender envy. I just think my general demeanour would make more sense if I looked like a milk drinking manfailure

I lose more faith in the public every time I go to the apartment bin room and see people's complete laziness and inability to follow basic waste sorting instructions. I wash and dry and separate my recyclables only for someone to throw their chicken tikka masala over it for god knows what reason
