I'm drawing while gradually recalling how to do it. I haven't drawn for about three weeks. For me, that's a long gap.

The sparrows I see around the neighborhood have become quite plump. The season is definitely moving toward winter.

This is no way to treat our veterans Prime Minister.

It’s now over a month since PM agreed on BBCBreakfast to meet with the nuclear test veterans (having kept them waiting more than a year to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition) & still no date offered by his office
These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister

No def not

My math not great, received detention for missing double math to take art o level a year early

Failed O-level 2x ‘D’ & 3rd time as they had changed syllabus & gave you formula I couldn’t remember as AuDHDy passed with ‘A’

Geology at school 1st class, even led the A-level field trips
I didn't study geology because I wanted to do maths or computer programming. They do not interest me. I wanted to learn about rocks etc.
I also have severe dyslexia and dyscalculia. I literally cannot *do* maths beyond a basic level. Should that preclude people like me from geo/earth sciences.
Unfortunately, in many courses in geosciences worldwide, university-level mathematics and computational geosciences is not included, as my experience from processing this year’s masters applications suggests.

My 🧵from yesterday on Post infection risks #Longcovid and Public health messaging. Interesting to compare to our own in the UK. Thank you 🙏 @drinfosec.bsky.social

One Public Health department is telling the whole story. Shining a light on those who are being less than transparent! Oopsie!

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office

He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

Those with the ‘most’ rather than help those with ‘least’ & look after our only world just seem to want more & more & more & more & more & more & more & more more & more & more & more & even more

& politicians blame those with least

Seems greed & stupidity will end us all

Amen

Today remembering those of my family who served, fought, suffered life changing injury’s WW1 & WW2 and a 2nd cousin still on patrol in the South Atlantic, who fought for the liberation of the Falklands

😔
I am one of many whose family members gave their lives to defend this country, and others, against the extreme right.

On this Remembrance Sunday, watching with horror as so many become fooled by the same propaganda, and join in the same horrific hatemongering.

Praying, as ever, for peace.

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election & she’s not sworn in

Congress is being paid as federal workers work for free & Americans go hungry

There’s no incentive for the GOP to end the shutdown

They’re funding ICE. They’re funding themselves. They’re funding Argentina

It’s a coup

No it's because the policies are changing people's lives for the worse.

You can't message that away.

It's real life.

Thanks to Labour, my friends are scared of going for a piss, my disabled relatives don't know if they can make ends meet and my bills have skyrocketed. And now you're increasing income tax.

Voters are very aware of your 'life changing policies'. We just wish you'd stop.

The world is full of people & institutions who will unapologetically exploit our "fawn" trauma response.

It's up to us to not shame ourselves for being vulnerable to that kind of pressure-- & to manage our underappreciated "fawn" reflex w/ respect, realism, & compassion.

I'm not a fan of trauma survivors trying to replace their "negative" thoughts w/ "positive" ones.

But I'm a big fan of survivors learning to swap out unfair, self-brutalizing thoughts for realistic, self-compassionate ones, one tiny, awkward, unfamiliar bit at a time.
