Return to Instagram–a confession
For nearly 7 months I have been off Meta. Like off–off. I deleted it all. I erased my existence from Facebook, WhatApp and all my instagrams–and as a polymath with ADHD that meant a lot of accounts…

Maybe shes tethered to a pontoon, lacks key safety gear for actual sailing, and has a leak or two—but that doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy my last two weeks with her! #boat #boatlife #cheers

Today’s plan: bus to Bristol, pick up outboard engine from a GumTree seller, lug said engine back to the bus in Bristol, convince them I’m cute enough to put it under the bus for no extra fee, back to London, wheel it through Victoria, on a train to Kent and plead for a car to drive my home. Done.

New ink for equinox.#DaggersDown is the mantra. Entering this new season with the idea that maybe I don’t always have to fight my way through it. Maybe I can slow down. Maybe I can put down the dagger. Maybe. There’s a lifetime of vigilance to ease up on.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of Trump's criminality, his fascist policies, his support of Israel's genocide, his links with sex trafficking and his views that domestic violence isn't a crime, what were the standout looks of the state visit, BBC News?

"Ecosystems are stronger when they are complex. Diversity, whether of thought, species, or activity, creates spaces where new ones are able to emerge and multiple forms thrive. So, I will keep spreading myself thin. I will keep being the scattered, fickle and promiscuous person I know myself to be."

How to be a Polymath in a World Built for Monoliths
Sadly I identify as a polymath. No, it is not just a fancy word for adhd, though I have that label too. To be a polymath is to be a person who is deeply, passionately, genuinely interested in a mul…

Taxi driver who professed undying love to my sister was disappointed when, for the return trip, I took the front seat for the 2 hour drive to the airport. That’s right dude, you just got cock blocked by the middle sister. I enjoyed two hours of heavy sighs. #sister #middlesister #intheway #♑️

Trip to Sicily has made it clear: 1: I don’t know how to eat. 2: google has not actually mapped the whole world. 3: I need to spend more time in Italy. #sicily #travel #italy #moments #Mediterranean

The sandwich question was repeated while the one about a fantasy weapon hung in the air, unanswered. All I could get out was, “uhhh…" because my whole internal world was laser focused on the risky toddler: Was he going to scream or jump? #kids #carework #blog

I am returned from the exile of childcare. I am regaining my full sentences. It takes me less than 20 minutes to compose a text. And I don't know when the toddler's last had a wee. I will never again take childcare as a thing you do casually.

Two days after almost 900 people were arrested at a pro-Palestine protest in London, a new Banksy mural of a judge hitting a protester appeared in the heart of the city.

If you tell me I can’t, I’m going to try; If you warn me to slow down, I’ll tell you to keep up; If you caution me about failure, I’ll reassure you I am not afraid of failing— —I’m afraid of not trying. #sailing #boat #renovation #boatsky #try

Approximately 5 Kentish youth called for a wheelie as I cycled past them. Two thoughts simultaneously occurred: 1: they probably didn’t know they were yelling at a 40yo woman 2: this 40yo woman needs to learn how to pull a wheelie. Gotta keep my cool auntie vibes going. #wheelie #actcool
