AuDHD is being pathologically incapable of just letting the toaster do its thing without interrupting to check/rotate the contents, and then inevitably burning them when you forget about it after the last time you do so.

Asked someone to sense-check a new story for me. Her first comment “Tem, have you written a book for anti-Zionist Jewish children?” is the best review I could ask for, probably.

The US is truly a parody of itself at this stage

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

If you’re angry about Neil Gaiman and haven’t read any Tanith Lee - read the Tales from the Flat Earth books and get angrier.

He’s always been a sleazy opportunist who takes without regard. The allegations against him are harrowing and sadly not at all hard to believe.

Have I found the perfect board game bag in a repurposed Deliveroo pizza backpack, or is the fact that it now weighs more than my 7 year old a sign that it’s a bad idea?

If I go into the high school to address the teens who abuse me in the street when I pass each day, what should I suggest they can sing at me instead of “they see me rollin”?

If my #disabilitylife needs to come with a theme tune I at least want to pick it!

Pleeeeease no more ridin dirty…
