Black text on a pale blue background that says: March is the awareness month for Long Covid, Endometriosis, and Brain Tumours. So to support those with these conditions, I've made my poetry book about chronic illness free this month. Get your FREE copy at https://Books2Read.Com/U/3RAgOY. There is an image of an ereader with the book The Inadequacy of Words on it, which has a pale cream front cover with a light blue splash and a line drawing of a face with eyes closed.

I'm delighted to announce that my poetry book is available for FREE for the rest of March. It will also be in the Indie Visible Charity Event 30th & 31st March.

I know how hard it can be to explain what life is like with chronic illness. Hopefully my book will help you feel less alone.

Been struggling to think of a title for the third book in a trilogy I’ve started writing, then sitting on the tube this morning I realised that if I title it a certain way, the first, second, and third instalments combine to make one really meaningful title when combined πŸ₯Ή

I think for me, half of AuDHD is desperately trying to cope with existing and the other half is constantly trying to find new ways to trick my brain into letting me do the things I actually want to do.

I was trying to make my 2018 MacBook Air last until May but it is VERY sad (runs out of battery in an hour unless it’s plugged in, super slow, generally easy to confuse).

Me productively spending the afternoon looking for houses in the countryside that cost half the amount our London house and texting my fiancΓ© suggestions about how we can just throw our jobs away and move.

The Gorton and Denton result is fantastic for several reasons, but easily the funniest one is that the Tories got so few votes that they LOST THEIR DEPOSIT.

Yeah the thing that amazes me is that I lost what I consider my pictures of me looking as good as I can, and am like WELL id say in real life I look like 70% that good, everyone juices it up a bit right?

My fiancΓ© is like: what are you talking about that’s just 100% you.

Thank you! I’m fussy about the photos I post 🀣 My TMJ affects the eyelid on that side. For a while I used photo editing to make my eyes look equally open πŸ˜“ The frontal bossing is worse in certain lights, literally looks like my forehead has slight horn ridges on my skull. Set kind of you though πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Liking my face is a HUGE thing for me. I’ve struggled my whole life with hating how I look. I had bad acne and was bullied for how I looked. I do have a strange shaped head (crooked jaw, droopy eye , frontal bossing on my forehead) but more often than not now I’m not horrified to see myself.

Hello everyone, I’ve worked very hard today and been to a training session, hit my protein and excercise goals, and done some book stuff, and now I would like one (1) attention, please.

Blocking anyone that says taxing billionaires and massive corporations is a bad idea.

Hiring Etsy witches to curse them if they say this and don’t say what a good alternative idea is.
