I still haven't been prescribed my ADHD meds yet.
I'm finding concentrating more and more difficult. My head is like a box of frogs!
I'm also autistic, so some of my posts may cause the wrong reactions unwittingly.

I really don't want to upset anyone and won't engage with any negativity or drama.
But why is it whenever I get negativity or aggression social media, the perpetrators nearly always display football/soccer parafinalia and posts.
I was just wondering why this is a thing now. Are they bots?

People ask me why I don't put my shows on the internet and only do them live?
Well.

And I love performing in front of a large audience

I’m deciding on the range of face pulling I need to do when accosted by flat Earthers.
That’s right. They still exist!
We found one in our garden the other day. The poor thing. We gave it flea and worm treatment and sent it on its way… 😵💫

Working on a VFX project using the fastest PC and the most powerful GPU on the market.
The project I'm working on is making it chug like the PC I had in the year 2000.
It will be worth it. Big things coming soon ;)

Just been out in a biblical rainstorm.
It was amazing.
The light, the sounds and the sensory overload really floats my boat. If it keeps on raining like this, I’ll definitely need one.
I love days like these. Storms are such organic and incredible things 😊

The one thing I've noticed over my years on social media is:
When someone decides to tell you they are unfollowing you, it always sounds like it's being said by a 14 year old.
Unfollowing is fine, just do it. The people you are unfollowing usually don't know who you are 😂 😂 🤣

AURORA ALERT!
There could be another epic display of #aurora over the UK, Scandinavia and mid to high lattitudes tonight.
Very hard to predict when and where, so keep a look out if your skies are clear.
Good luck!

The #Aurora is a beautiful thing to watch especially over the UK which is incredibly rare.
There is no need for alarm though, it won't hurt us.
