To the “everyone is Autistic or ADHD now” crowd:
When the whole world stopped in 2020, and everyone was mandated to stay in their homes, every burnt out, high-masking autistic person got to finally drop the lifelong masks and just be themselves for months.
And when social distancing policies started dropping and we got back to “normal,” it was impossible for those people to simply pick those lifelong masks back up as we dropped them, shattered them.
Just sit with that.

A gallery in Germany sold this drawing last week.
In the event that Michael Palin comes across this post, I would be happy for him to nominate a charity I can send the proceeds to.
Thank you.

I'm currently the target of a significant scam operation on Twitter involving 100s of profiles . They come in the form of paid-for adverts claiming that I made money from cryptocurrencies , then using my fake 'endorsement' to encourage others to invest too . . .
For the avoidance of doubt , these are all scams .
Please RT !
And @ElonMusk @Safety - please fix this !

The UK has dug up many of its orchards and now imports 70% of its apples, often from across the world. Planting apple trees in our gardens and communities - and protecting those we have - can cut food miles, soak up CO2, help wildlife, and can help save traditional varieties🍎

In the early 1990s, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado was stationed in Rwanda to cover the genocide, an experience that left him traumatized.
In 1994, upon returning to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Sebastião hoped to find solace in the lush green forest of his childhood. Instead, he discovered that his home had transformed into a dusty, barren land stretching for miles, devoid of any wildlife.
"The land was as sick as I was. Only about 0.5% of the land was covered in trees," he remarked.
At this time, his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, proposed that they embark on the ambitious journey of replanting the entire forest. Sebastião supported the idea, and together, over the course of the next 20 years, they planted an astonishing 2.7 million trees.
Their efforts resulted in the rejuvenation of 1,500 acres of rainforest, and the site eventually became home to 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, some of which were on the brink of extinction.

The mystery of the missing parlour! Please find it, Twitterati, as our last act of goodness before everyone deserts this sinking ship.
Every year, we put a shout out for our missing room, in case a new friend to these pages recognises the fireplace and panelling of Gwydir’s missing C16th Oak Parlour.
It was sold in 1921 to William Randolph Hearst (aka #CitizenKane) who assembled it in his apartment in New York.

Just found an envelope of my adoption documents, much of which I’d never seen before. This letter from my mom to my birth mother… I am a MESS.

When parents talk to me about gaming and screens, it’s always about fear. ‘Will they get addicted?’ they ask me. ‘I can’t control my own use, how can a child do it?’. There’s so much fear that we have no time to talk about the benefits. So here are some of the things I see. 1/
