Just here to try something new. Data person striving to help the world reduce our emissions. Lover of wildlife and photography for it.
Struggling with the world today. Having a bad MS day, limping and very slow walking. Had people pretty much barge into me and push past me, and then a guy literally yelling "Why are you so fucking slow, get on with it" As I visibly limp and almost fall over.
Bought my train ticket from London to Manchester, I have given about the same amount of time between booking and travel as to a journey here. How is it 2.5 hours shorter and 20€ more expensive? I hate UK trains
Of course, older woman gets on the tram, goes to walk past a disabled seat to ask me to move… oh the disabled person should move apparently…. Luckily didn’t have to, but the assumptions people make
I need to Book Hotel etc for London, I am just being useless with it aha
Well done to Deutsche Bahn, oh we need to do some works, fine. But for this stretch we are going to push every person who was on the RE onto one replacement bus… it was fucking rammed
I do need to finalise, but I May actually be in London for two Nights in November. I think this is needed
Woke up in the middle of the Night and had a Full on internal discussion on why some people have disappeared from my life without a trace… That was a fun couple of Hours
People at work found out I was writing a novel, the Person who definitely Thinks AI can replace some people at the Company asked whether I was using AI at all to help…. Fuck no! This is a huge Part of my creativity, the only bit of Technology being used is a spell checker.
Every day I feel like I am surprised at how fucking idiotic this guy is…. How is merz my chancellor?!?
60 Prozent?
Well my Friday Night is Building Lego, drinking Beer and watching LOTR
Weird to be off to Manchester today, but not for Pride, we will have left tomorrow morning
Another day, another '2026 can fuck off' post... seriously.

Final work day from the UK and then multiple days of me traipsing my way back Home! Next three days Sees 5 different trains :D
Tiredness has passed a little, but the injection site is sorer than last time
Medication day 2, still feeling nerves of it all. It was fine 6 months ago, so I am sure it will be ok, but nerves will nerve
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is absolute bullshit. We may as well go back to living in fucking caves.

Astronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.

Having a Bit of a Morning, was strange to See who reached out etc. at the Weekend. Has been incredibly bizarre, I have Swung from crying to anger. Am All over the Place, Mixing in with the MS-fatigue that I have at the Moment, I need a Holiday
Seeing anyone from the AfD on the TV being interviewed and going on about how this is what Happens when you don’t manage immigration or asylum, how about, fuck off. This horrific Moment isn’t there to justify your bigotry
Von einer Bundesregierung, die den Aktionsplan Queer Leben einstellt, die Lambda die Finanzierung wegkürzt, die queere Menschen an Verfolgerstaaten ausliefert und die es zum CSD keine Regenbogenfahnen hisst ("Zirkuszelt") empfinde ich jegliche Solidaritätserklärungen als pure Heuchelei. #CSDBerlin
I am struggling to put into words how I woke up feeling today, but I will try. I am devastated, the amount of joy and love there was yesterday was amazing. Seeing people happy and proud was incredible. Then someone has tried to take that away.
My memoir, A Mind Of My Own is now available in paperback which means it’s cheaper. Hurrah! If you’d like a dedicated copy repost this and I’ll do a random pick of five winners in the next couple of days. If you’ve already bought/read or listened to the audible version thank you! ♥️📚
Bookshops and Bonedust ends with the best last sentence as i sit on a Train with my bf: Vic was grateful for all the wrong times that led to this right one I cried…
Latest episode of my MS causing chaos, left leg and toes are a little bloody on holiday and I’ve cried on a boat…
