Second child’s birthday. She is 20 today. It’s amazing how well memory preserves the feeling of shock & stunned disgust I experienced in the aftermath of her delivery. Her older brother tenderly remarked, “she’s just a red ball of skin”. She has evolved into a brilliant human being though.

Eldest daughter lit a candle at 6.15 today in her downstairs bedroom & I woke around 6.30 wondering which pet had puked strawberries because it was so violently fruity. I have no hope anymore that they’ll move out. It will have to be me who does.

Have done 45 lengths in the pool & had a sauna but as it’s about 6 weeks since I last made it, I’m a bit shaky so in the cafe having a drink. A family of girls who are kardashian level groomed are with husbands who honestly look like potatoes with athleisure wear on. They’re discussing vomit.

My five year old has the soul of Orson Welles. We were outside school and he 'put a kiss in my pocket for later.' Extremely touched by this, I gave him two back. He dug out the second one, THEATRICALLY CRUSHED IT IN HIS FIST and said 'one is enough.'

I keeps crying today. It’s a combination of hormones, having a kid with adhd, my GP scaring the life out of me by revealing my new cholesterol number, and exhaustion. I really wish I lived on a massive bus & was driving around the world with an epic playlist & a sack of roast chickpeas.

Hi, I’m sad. For 17 years I’ve had a relationship with a community children’s nurse & now my son is an adult she’s breaking up with us. We’ve watched one another’s families grow up with this impervious translucent membrane of professional/patient separating our amity but also keeping us together.

Just wanna say that raising someone who’s ADHD is extremely disabling no matter what accommodations or support we caring adults around them are enacting, no matter how much advocacy is occurring, I testify to the neurodivergence witchfinders that it is very real, very agonising, very not about IQ.

GET THEM WHILE THEY ARE HOT. Beautiful new handmade linoprint mermaid bookmarks by my mum, Jo. I have just a few of these, free to readers in the UK, with a signed paperback of my latest novel. Contact hello@tom-cox.com to grab one, with "MERMAID" in the subject heading & your address in the email.
A linocut of a mermaid, sticking out of the top of my latest novel.

Capitalism sees the natural world as nothing but 'resources' to exploit and profit from. When one is exhausted it moves on, inexorably, seeking out the next 'business opportunity' to wipe out. We won't arrest the murder of our living planet without recognising and acting on this basic premise.

I just need to make this observation. If you are out there trying to be an influencer because nothing about doing something else feels appealing, fine, but seriously, “here are 6 loo cleaner hacks” is really literally scraping the barrel. Also why am I targeted for this bollocks.

I have a really busy day ahead, the sort that relies on tight scheduling & predictability of traffic. Of course my lad has woken & said “Mum I don’t feel good, I need to go back to bed.” Sure, an 18 year old with chronic kidney disease & transplant immunosuppression could just be tired..

What this article fails to mention is that 40% of Universal Credit recipients *are working*. Deindustrialisation means there are lots of low-paid jobs that don’t pay enough to live on. We top up those wages so people can afford a decent life.

Taking an uninteresting photo in black and white and thinking it’s a better photo because it is extremely “i got my first proper camera” thinking. I remember using the sepia tone settings on a brand new dslr & thinking how evocative the shots were. Evocative of bad photos soaked in tea, is what.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

Morning, Beans. I have arisen feeling good, refreshed & vaguely hopeful about life. My lil ole pocket of the Universe is habitable & low in danger right now. Although I have cracked a tooth, & need blood tests today, for the annual “you’re going to die of one thing or another, fatty” routine.

I mashed potatoes for dinner. (They’re not an ideal variety for mashing.) My daughter is dishing herself up some food. She calls from the kitchen: “This mash looks like when a kid tries to draw mash.”

My Dorg only ever chooses her souvenir stick at the point she realises we are on return journey. It is predictable & adorable. The best bit is she has learned to deposit sticks by the front door as ‘no chewing sticks indoors’.

I made oat & chia porridge with a scoop of ‘flavourless’ protein supplement & a spoonful of peanut butter this morning, & promptly had to make another pan of plain oat & chia porridge with cinnamon & raisins. I have subsequently added flour, eggs, butter & sugar to the awful porridge & made buns.
