This is what greeted me as I went up the stairs to go to bed last night. A psychopath clearly lying in wait to murder me, her death-stare looming out of the darkness. For whatever reason she spared me and allowed me to live another day.

A view through a doorway into a dark room, from the top few stairs and across the landing. The face of a small white and tabby cat is just visible looking out from the darkness, lying in wait atop the bed.

Zoomed-in view from the same position, showing the same cat‘s death-stare looming out from the darkness with greater clarity

Wrote a song with a nice tune and a jangly riff earlier, but wasn’t convinced by it. Just listened back and I’ve accidentally created the perfect late-90s early 00s vaguely social conscious, catchy, and ultimately meaningless pop song.

Just submitted an access support request for help with Arts Council grant application. Keeping fingers very much crossed! The ACE grant system is unwieldy and overwhelming, but they do at least recognise that and pay for some support when needed 🤞 Historically I've been shit at asking for support.

When we see coordinated attacks on the legitimacy of trans people, of queer lifestyles, of diagnoses of ADHD and autism - it is because these things threaten the assumptions of capitalism, and therefore the economy and the state. It’s not *just* that the right always needs fresh scapegoats.

Even from a dry economic perspective, giving people access to timely assessment will save the NHS money in mental health support, and means that more of us can work. It feels ideological at this point.

Oh happy days we are on the news again, with people telling us we don't exist, and I'm listening as I wait to do the therapy that's the only thing that stopped me falling off a mental health cliff after my late autism diagnosis.

This morning we're discussing what it means to be ethnically English. Coming up later we tackle the climate change debate and for today's phone-in we're asking "How much arsenic should you give a child?" Let us know what you think. But first, what happens if I put my entire head into this dark hole?

I choked eating a grape while lying down the other day, almost immediately after having confidently brushed aside warnings of the hazards of doing so. The pride to fall turnaround was SWIFT. Then I choked more because I was laughing so hard at the irony of the situation.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
