Absolutely go f**k yourself. Autism is not a "get out of jail free card" for being an arsehole. Do you know how hard so many autistic individuals work to fit in, to be treated "normally"? This type of crap makes it harder for all of us. Being autistic doesn't give you a pass to be a predator.

A quiet year for gigs picks up this week with Idles and Confidence Man in Glasgow next week, followed by Idles in Brighton and then Fontaines in Dublin. Excellent.

Spotted a seagull rummaging in a bin on Custom House Quay earlier. It plucked out a big plastic lid before flying across the Liffey and dropping it smack bang in the middle of the water.
I blame the Greens.

I see it hasn't taken long for people to start pretending to be celebrities on here. I've just been followed by Manchester United centre half Leny Yoro, apparently.

Received two e-mails at the same time this morning.
One confirming that, at 35-years old, I am an autistic person and the other confirming a new Idles album.
And I can't think a better way to celebrate than to dance around to their new tune.
AIL.

Have we got a name for Bluesky posts yet? Blueys? Unsure.
Another major life update post. Have officially paid for my autism assessment/collaborative identification with Adult Autism. Looking forward to shedding myself of the impostor syndrome once and for all!
