Be soft.
Do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let the pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,
you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

FASD + OCD + Language disorders make writing a very challenging task indeed.
Getting past whether a word sounds right so readers won't be left with an ambiguous meaning is just one more problem I do not need.

It's taken me the better part of my life to finally accept I have the social intelligence of a 12 y.o.
After a 30yr addiction to booze/dope, been clean/sober for 4yrs, I realise I don't even need one drink to reach that level.

Happy #InternationalMensDay to all my friends around the world. This year's theme is positive male role models.
That reminded me of Steve Whitehouse who earlier this year helped to save two people and dog from a fire and then carried on with his round

Just looking up at the big blueksy...
Didn't see @Number10cat today, he was probably snuggled up inside, lounging on a nice, warm cushion. So here's a shot of the Larrmaster from the last cabinet meeting a couple of weeks ago. Looking somewhat prophetic there. What 'ya thinking, Larry?

"Letting customers know that you are autistic is unprofessional".
Not the first time I've heard that (paraphrased and bizarre) attitude.
What's 'unprofessional' is prejudice against marginalised groups, minorities, disabled and neurodivergent people.
