I have aphantasia, meaning that I can't form mental images at will. Nor, in my case, sounds, smells, flavors, tactile sensations, or emotions. When I close my eyes, I enter a blank world. In this thread I'll try to express what that is like for those who don't have aphantasia.

Very sad to see Doonies closing 😞

My morning started at 3.45am rescuing these chaps. I then went to our main yard to watch the flooding come in. 2nd time in 10 months that we’ve been completely under water.

Going back to work after a break involves a few days of waiting to get back into the swing of things. Then eventually you remember you were never in the swing of things even before the break. There is no swing of things. The things remain unswinged.

We are Population Genetics Group! Come and see us in the coffee area 😁

The prize includes one of these epic hats 😁

No big deal, just a deer scoring a goal then celebrating..😲
