The past couple of years have been rough, mostly due to the weasels that live in my brain Over new years though, I had a series of breakthroughs in the meditative zone that is a bath I came out with new perspectives, new love for myself and others and magically, more hope. 1/?

From last summer, at a friends wedding. Love like I cant describe, gender like I never knew, hope that I didn’t know existed.

Survived a visit to Devon, the old man is at least mellowing out in his old age. Pretty cool place though.

Been paying with UniFi networking stuff and the software to map out coverage is really funky. Now, to drill more holes in this fine house

Been a while, universe. As always, there’s a lot on, life, love, gender. Everything’s a lot at the moment but I got this. <3

🧵Yesterday rocked. It’s fun to meet interesting folks… & joyful to explore new tools. Yesterday had both! We visited a startup developing a mobility scooter with nifty tech to keep it stable & upright. It’s a game changer, perfectly filling the gap between my ebike & stick
A photo of Jamie on a prototype scooter going around a bend on a paved area in the sunshine. The scooter is leaning into the corner. Boop is stood to one side of Jamie doing support stuff and one of the startup founders is stood to the other side coaching Jamie on how to use the scooter. The scooter is an early stages prototypes and appears very sci-fi.

Got stabbed by a nice lady, she gave me a lolly too. I didn't know which ear to pierce so I took a poll from the people in the waiting room, then did some juggling with them while we waited

Big thanks to @MisterWookie for helping me work out the maze of numbers that are my finances. I never realised until recently how money caused me anxiety and stress, but in true ADHD fashion I let it fester until I was almost entirely broke and confused.

Today has been spent catching up with @spacedoutsmiles, updating profiles and one ting with friends. Now we’re off to the cafe to experiment and see what works for working. (Smol) adventure!

The first big task of the year? Demolish the office and move out of the workshop that's cost me £600 per month for the last few years. I should've been out years ago but sometimes you pay the money because overcoming the wall of awful to get out is too much. #justadhdbullshit

That's not to say that there aren't still struggles, today was hard for a lot of reasons and I only left the bed at 4 pm. But with friends reminding me of all of this goodness, I was able to feel the brightness and hope again. 4/?

So, I'm going to keep on this path. Keep pursuing the weird and wonderful things I love. Keep growing and changing and loving myself and my body. Maybe even finish a project or two? Whatever happens I'm here for it and let's see what wonderment happens along the way. X
