I'm not sure my therapist, family or friends would agree that I'm an adult! The age verifying app also knocked over a decade off my age so I will take that win.

My main reason for staying on X was to avoid echo chambers and create dialogue but watching Elon Musk and Donald Trump implode on each other with a front row seat is addictive. I can't decide who is more dangerous for the US or the world.

May is mental health awareness month
I have Bipolar++
I've just spent 2 days in Dublin living positively, like there's no tomorrow and then 2 days in bed wishing there was no tomorrow
Tomorrow, I'm speaking about suicide
Today, I'm drinking, reading, and reflecting

We grow up with stories, sagas, a search for belonging, companions in our journey or quest, identity, meaning, purpose, hope.
That's why Narnia, Middle Earth, Alagaësia, Star Wars, Star Trek, Blakes 7, Buffy, Firefly, Farscape, Andromeda, X-Men, Guardians, Avengers, and, yes, Harry Potter resonate.

Predicting the future is being a seer. Creating the future is being a doer. Intelligence comes in many forms from IQ to EQ, SQ and FQ etc. It can be academic and/or practical, emotional, social. It has been called the ability to learn from mistakes, to adapt, change, evolve, grow, imagine...

Trump seems to be running the biggest market manipulation, insider trading scam the world has seen. Either he doesn't know what he's doing at all OR he knows EXACTLY what he's doing and that is worse, unethical and disreputable.

I often forget International Trans Day of Visibility as it's one day among 365 and has become one of the least important things to me about me, yet to others, it remains one of the most important – something about me that they cannot but see.

#DPAC protest against the shameless cuts on disability and welfare, #PIP, #DWP. People are not numbers or pounds to be cut from budgets. They are real lives, many cut short by being disabled, ill health or suicidality without the government helping! #WelfareNotWarfare #Norwich

Today is like a moderately fast car. Instead of 0 to 60 in 3s, it's been -2° to 10° in a couple of hours, exceeding expectations, and is a spring welcome. Mehr vorsprung durch sonnig als vorsprung durch technik.

Zelensky has had to be strong for 3 years to stand up to Russia and now Trump and Vance berate and belittle him with passive aggressive exchanges. Trump was humiliating #Ukraine. No wonder Zelensky tried to stand up for facts and justice vs duplicitous "diplomacy" and Donald deals.

Freedom of speech is a right but not without risk.
Salwan Momika was an Iraqi Assyrian refugee in Sweden and anti-Islam activist, known for public demonstrations where he burnt the Quran. He was assassinated during a livestream on TikTok.

Bishop Budde was trying to have "A different kind of conversation... disagree with me... with respect... listen... avoid contempt"
In response to her call for mercy towards LGBTQ and immigrants Trump called her "nasty, not compelling, inappropriate, not exciting, ungracious, boring, uninspiring"

So Trump *bans* 2 words in the name of free speech and of progress – which apparently requires misinformation and disinformation (though you can't call it that now) to flourish.
I will continue to exercise my free speech and label most of what Trump says as misinformation

Trump rolled back 60 years of civil rights protections on MLK day; came for refugees & asylum seekers; undid trans & intersex rights at a pen stroke taking us back to Genesis Adam and Eve era; fired everyone working in federal DEI; removed office of gun violence protection; attacked a female Bishop

US bans #TikTok denying First Amendment Free Speech (Chinese data spying accusations aside – I mean my cats and cooking posts are a serious threat to national security). If only they could ban automatic weapons as quick as an app mainly used by that notorious public enemy number one – Gen Z teens.

Forgot to eat today, missed breakfast and lunch, so starting out on the red food groups – tomatoes, peppers, chillies and red wine! Ezme-like diced and spiced salad and Arancini with an Arrabbiata dip

The Beech #trees tower over my cottage, they are the queen of the forest, to the Oak's king. Growing up to 45m tall and stubbornly holding on to Autumn leaves as long as they can. Their height alone blocks out the sunrise, but that's ok, I'm never up for that anyway.
