First big fly of the year in my room this morning. The bug zapping lamp will have to come out now. And I must pay better attention to the fly screen at the back door. Urrgh 😪

i don't care what the courts say

My latest cartoon for New Scientist

My local PDSA are amazing at helping me as a blind person! They cut up Milla's tablets without me having to ask anymore. Today they came up with a way I can use a syringe to accurately measure liquid medication. They go above and beyond to make sure I get what I need.

Any more stress and my head will pop like a piece of bubble wrap 😵

I got on a bus, sat down and the announcements weren't working. I was getting ready to go talk to the driver but he came out first, apologised for the broken announcements and asked where I want to get off. Incredibly helpful!

The kinda night where I should be calling the crisis team so I can maybe keep getting help from primary care. For proof that I'm actually really unwell. But I can't face the potential for the call to make me feel worse and I lose the little sanity I have left. But no alternative.

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾

I have a dog on my knee and another curled up next to me on the chair. Bliss.

CBT is for people who are self-unaware and think things are worse than they really are. If you’re self-aware and you have an accurate perception of the bad things, the neutral things, and the good things, CBT can’t help you much.

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth! I’m proud to be disabled. And I’m proud to be claiming my space in a world where I don’t fit the mould.

I bought £10 worth of food in a cafe and was asked to get rid of my £2 coffee that I brought in because no outside drinks allowed. I'd get it if I'd sat down and bought nothing but I spent a decent amount there.

Had to truly force myself to leave the house today. Going to an event that'll be partly great and partly dread. Haven't felt this anxious in a long while.

I support the European Movement UK campaign for the UK to re-join Erasmus+ and am glad the Government has agreed to work towards association to the programme. Our young people should have access to the same mobility and opportunities as our European neighbours.
