Have got my badge for #eo2026 #everythingopen and checked in to the university accommodation.

My #discworld journey has continued from Mort to Sourcery, Eric, Wyrd Sisters, and now I have just finished Pyramids. Now for the highly-recommended book: Guards! Guards!

This month is Autism Acceptance Month. As Autistic people, we don't need just the term thrown about for a month. We need people to understand our differences and accept them. Then, maybe, we can feel included, accepted and supported.

So, I will be posting about autism-related terms to try to […]

Left-handed people have always existed and will always exist. We are happier, healthier, more capable when we just use our dominant hand (or hands) to write, and do complex tasks.

I have been reading (well, listening to) the Lord of the Rings recently. "The Scouring of the Shire" hits a bit differently this year.

In 1933 Hitler's forces invaded the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (the leading centre of research on trans and gay people at that time) and burned all of the books and records (after taking care to note down the details of all the patients to round up […]
