Rory Michaelson looking tired with three dangly gold earrings in a row
29 hours of travel but I still arrive on holiday feeling cute, so I put in my Zoro earrings for the first time. NGL, I’m obsessed.
Devastating survey results from @transactualuk.bsky.social on the reality of trans+ healthcare in the UK.
If this were any other patient cohort, it'd be a national scandal. But apparently trans people don't count.
I stopped playing baldurs gate when I learned there were half orcs but none of them could be my boyfriend.
It’s like…I like Fantasy but F is for Female and I’m only interested in orc man cock.
Idk, ‘Mantasy’ sounds kinda gay.
Said goodbye to my trusty 2018 MacBook Air today. Autistic tendency to personify objects aside, that lovely little machine wrote half a dozen novels and did a huge amount of heavy lifting in terms of production and me developing as an author 🥹💚
Launch a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 on LGBTQ people

Yeah I hope so. When I’ve had procedures before they’ve been ENT and they had to sedate me cos when people hold my head I freak out, but this is my shoulder so hopefully will be okay. They have to cut with a knife rather than hole punch so it won’t be quick, then I’ll be stressing over the results
Just got told I need my first ever surgery within the next two weeks for a suspicious mole the dermatologist says the PREVIOUS dermatologist should’ve probably removed 4 years ago.
As someone with anxiety+++ I am ofc now expecting to die.
Tell me your stories to make me feel better please.
Genetics have cursed me and I have legs like a deer.
Bilateral exact match tumours is the most likely thing 🙂↕️
In my defence I don’t know why I have only one ab
*me two weeks after panicking about a weird lump on my torso then realising it’s my rib showing because of weight loss*
Me: “oh no I think I’ve been working out too much and I’ve got a hernia or something 😭”
Fiancé: “That’s an ab. 😒”
JK Rowling has openly said she uses the profits of Harry Potter to fund anti-trans hatred. If you support that effort by watching the TV show, let alone publicly declaring you're doing so, you're no friend of mine
Just did my first ever ‘leg day’ and that can fuck off.
the Trans Rights Readathon is here! if you need more books for your stack or want to get in on the fun, mind if an enby author shows off a couple recs—
🤎 Ander & Santi Were Here / enby, aries, muralist mc; set in Texas; very Mexican; art and tacos; big FUCK ICE energy; you’re gonna cry

Explaining to managers promoting ‘resilience’ that sometimes all my resilience is used up before I even got to work because it’s quite windy that day and someone was sitting in my usual seat on the tube.

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 🥹

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 am sat (and already backing this kickstarter)
I think I affected it too
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).
weirdly ‘No one can see me naked in my garden’ is on my list of wants
I did literal maths and mortgage calculations to make my case, y’all.
