A Crying Shame

I'm taking a risk—The floor could absolutely quake at any moment,My entire world would shake,Through the seat I'm sitting on,Through my feet on the floor,Through the solid desk my hands and arms are resting on,The computer screen I'm looking at could sway back and forth,The microphone arm could shake,My plants could quiver as the shock …

OCD Diagnosis! 😱

Since August last year I'd been living with the belief that I had an OCD diagnosis— because it was mentioned in the psychiatrist's report after my private autism diagnosis. It was in my notes that I wanted an OCD assessment after the autism one, and it came up in conversation during the autism assessment. Anyway …

Trauma Dreams And Memories

I don't usually reflect backwards at the moment because I'm too presently stressed to do it, but last night I dreamt that I was on holiday with family and extended family, and I was in extreme mental distress again so my parents locked me in a cage for being bad. I was ignored by everyone. …

Plot Armour

I thought I'd never in my life seen anyone with more plot armourthan Bilbo Baggins,But…There's something to be said about the sheer amount of plot armourwhich I've worn so far; Plot armour,Plot biceps,Plot balls! Image by Glauco Gianoglio from Pixabay  🌪

Dwarf Planet Misty 🐕‍🦺

Pluto is the Misty of the solar system— It's small and cute and fluffy with its soft atmosphere and mountains,It's a miniature version of a bigger thing,And it's already named after a dog. PETITION TO RENAME PLUTO TO MISTY! —Misty is the Pluto of the dogosphere. (Just don't call her a dwarf dog 🤪). The …

Moderna Vaccinated!

I got Moderna vaccinated! It hurt like hell, as with all instances of having a super sharp, fine piece of metal jabbed into you (so don't believe anybody who says it doesn't— they must not have feelings). That's not to say I reacted or flinched— I just took in a deep breath. But it did …

A Moon’s Perspective

The evicted moon had rendezvoused with a pair of co-orbiting gas giants,An unlikely permutation in the cosmic dance; Don't you worry, they said,Behind you lies chaos and entropy,Ahead lies…well, yet more chaos,But in amongst it lie regions of relative order,Pockets of space, sanity; A hyperbolic trajectory is no state for a planet or a moon—Those …

Breadcrumbs

But it was the foreboding red light of a nearby flaring sun,Giving temporary life and respite to a darkened, dormant world; Like the temperamental star which birthed it,The new ecosystem could not last, as,Brightening over a short time-scale before gradually dimming,The ageing sun exploded, rendering the home system permanently hostile; Its scarred facefreshly irradiated,The wandering …

Meeeesteeeeee!!! 🐕‍🦺

Life’s Colours

Turning at last towards the Sun,Volcanoes wept,Mountain chains stood, Terminator swept across frozen oceans,Glaciers retreated,Rivers dared to run once more; Stuck in the darkness,Angular momentum stolen,The long night of a slowly-spinning world must come to an end; Life endured as steppes became plains,Oceans chocka',Birds enjoyed the rains. 🌪
