Today is Cardiff Pride, and the Big Queer Picnic too. I am at the Picnic, with a group of friends. It's a chill vibe, and a good day. This is the sum total of the gay agenda: live beautifully, and live free.

Christmas Vs reality. My seven year old's version includes the cat stealing baubles, kids throwing pies at each other and covered in cream, and the mum hiding on the roof. Not far off really 😂

Using blue sky and twitter has increased my number of daily de ja vu occurrences immensely.

Admittedly being very forgetful isn't helping this.

Finding five good things to refocus my brain.

Everything she draws resonates to me.

I stopped using twitter and Facebook because everything got too close. Too many people who liked me followed me and would then be privy or react to the moments when I just wanted to shout into the void. Slowly I didn't have a social media where I was free to be the person I feel like inside.

Happy enough to do this, especially as there's a setting that requires my absent-minded ass to fill in alt text or I can't post. Not only is it better for accessibility, but you can add layers of humour n shit. Everyone's a winner!

I'm getting such lovely early twitter community vibes every time I scroll through bluesky. It gives me a lot of joy 💙

Hello blue sky. It's nice to finally blow the cobwebs away.
