Spent the last 3 nights performing inna play and it has been exhausting and exhilerating and a massive learning curve. In my free time before today's show, I went to a matinee of My Neighbour Totoro, and it works much better at the Gillian Lynne than it did at the Barbican

Got up at 6.30 for an early appointment with our lovely plumbers. They are booked for 7am TOMORROW. I am blaming lack of sleep and high dose pain meds

It's heartbreaking to see Your Party implode before it even gets going, and to see the rampant misogyny on display.

Managed to get The Teen to college via bus and (lovely, accessible) Suffragette line. Amazed by how many people were turning up at the station with no idea that there is a strike on the tube this week

Have done the business part of the day, and prepped dinner this morning. Weekend laundry is also done. That means I get to spend some time at The Moonlight Market, with thanks to @joannechocolat.bsky.social

Spent my morning rehearsing a song for a scratch night next week. The song is the opening of a play I am going to be in and wtf has happened to my life? I am a regular 51 year old disabled woman, and now THIS is my life? I pinch myself every single day!

Graham Linehan is an anti-trans obsessive, not a free speech martyr
What has happened to Linehan is a predictable outcome for someone who becomes radicalised, obsessive and chronically online.

Very confused at reports that Drew Barrymore has come out as bi at 50. As a community, we claimed her years ago. I'm sure this isn't a new thing

Thursday Murder Club is a much-loved book series for me, so it was obvious that my ND brain was going to struggle with ANY adaptation. I genuinely did enjoy it, but I was very conscious of the things that didn't work for me, and I dont have the option of turning that off. 7/10

Back in pandemic days, kiddo and I played lots of Animal Crossing. Got kiddo a Switch 2 and asked for the old Switch so I could go back to my island. It's gone in some data transfer drama that I am too medicated to understand. Over 950 hours

Of course I now have a big jar of super-gay Marmite because he said "nobody wants that dirty, queer shit"

They ain't lying when they say that heat makes people crazy. Old man shouting at the Pharmacist for being anti-Semitic because she cant fill an electronic script issued in Israel. Then, big gammony fella turning around jars of Marmite in Sainsbury's because they have Elton John and a rainbow flag...

Argh, I have lost a box of meds. I am going to have to ask my GP for a repeat, despite it not being due for another month. This isn't the first time this has happened. I blame the gatekeeping Psych at the ADHD clinic who is STILL withholding my Concerta

It's been quite the day here. Furniture that didn't fit through doorways, a dog who wanted me to rescue him, ripping my new shirt on a piece of wood. We have sorted the furniture issue though, and eaten raspberries picked from our garden. I'm calling that a win

I have to call my Cardiolgist's Secretary, and it's very likely that she works for more than one person, so I will have to use his name, which isn't English. Did I just look up how to pronounce it, because I don't want to be rude? Absolutely. Is this normal or, as suggested to me, Peak Autistic?

We need to talk about parents of autistic kids being in autistic-led spaces and acting in ways that are demeaning to autistic adults.

Five years today since we officially Brexited! I remember looking in my stocking and Father Brexit had left me a bottle of salad cream, a Mind Your Language VHS boxset, a Big Break annual and a Matchbox die-cast Capri. Then I put a mug of Bovril through the Soda Stream to celebrate.

Today has been a wild ride. I can't go and see my family for Christmas because I am proper sick with a chest infection. There are many layers to this story, but the most bizarre one is that I get access to a 24/7 private GP service via my broadband provider

trans people aren't the only ones who dictate how others address them; people get married, they get PhDs, they change their name for whatever reason, there are a lot of circumstances where cis people change the way people refer to them and no one ever complains about it, because that would be mental

Chatting to @sararoseg.bsky.social about Wallace and the like, and we definitely need a name for these men who are suddenly autistic right at the moment when they need an excuse for some shitty behaviour. We’ve been brainstorming. Caughtistic?
