Relaxing day of tabletop gaming today. Looking for terrain, found my husband’s old farm set. Which has allowed me to amuse myself with the following. Keep chuckling to myself.

I find it quite amusing (bitterly) that Insta can caution me about the time I send a message but is ok with transphobia. 😬

Second book bought from Gay on Wye, “Cuckoo”, by @scumbelievable.bsky.social - only on page 49 and already grimly, despairingly hooked in. Can’t wait to see where this goes!

Went to Hay on Wye for my birthday, and picked up far too many books. Including…. Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social - settling in for the evening now.

Sometimes, you just get yourself reflected back in a mirror not-even darkly, and it’s humiliating.

The @chcymru.bsky.social Annual Conference, focusing on people, relationships and how that can unlock change. Really pleased to be part of this from @platfform.org - the more we all see how important relationships are to change, to practice, to policy, the more we will make real change.

At the @chcymru.bsky.social conference today. Really excited to bring our “housing and mental health” interactive game to the @platfform.org stand. 👇

Can you step into the shoes of people living in social housing, just for a few minutes and discuss some of our assumptions?
