Your weird, AuDHD, trans auncle. Sometimes poems and stories, sometimes unsolicited info dumping.
I don't care if you talk about me as long as you do so using he/him or they/them pronouns.

My pronouns are he/him - as in masculine, and they!/them! - as in terrifying giant ants clawing out of the earth from mile-deep catacombs.

But there are problems: currently, most media outlets are far more interested in buzzy, counterintuitive, controversial takes rather than measured nuance. It's hard to bait rage-clicks with an article called: 'Autistic People are Pretty Cool & Deserve Small Changes to Make Work A Bit Less Grim'.

At my middle school. If a class had perfect attendance for a week, the head would give that class a big bag of sweets to share. BUT ONLY IF they wrote a sycophantic letter to the head, to be read out in assembly. It was all very tongue-in-cheek, but God knows what we were supposed to learn from it!
Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: A neighbour of one of the teachers gave us a five-minute lecture about kwashiorkor which involved him reciting a list of his favourite words (yes, ‘kwashiorkor’ was one of them). Included the unforgettable phrase, “Diarrhoea, another beautiful word.”
Some dancers once came to our school once and did a routine to Uptown Girl in the middle of assembly. I've still no idea why.

Last July I went to hospital with a blood infection and gangrene after staying at that exact YMCA. Had a finger amputated. Whilst in hospital, the YMCA evicted me as I was now too disabled to live there. Was made homeless for three months. They probably didn't tell you that bit.
I recently visited the YMCA on Shakespeare Street and met the team and service users to hear about their experiences, as well as the urgent need for trauma-informed approaches in our institutions, earlier intervention to lessen the need for crisis support, and high-quality move-on accommodation.

The Big Difference who run Leicester Comedy Festival have sank. Do not be mad at Leicester Comedy Festival's social media team: they have also been left unpaid. Even more so than the acts in most cases.
I want to know where the money went, because it sure seems like it rhymes with schlembezzlement.

I'm rewatching Baz Luhrnan's Romeo and Juliet. It generally holds up.
But friar laurence's opening monologue... Its supposed to be him musing to himself about botany, but here...
Like, for no reason at all, he's topless, and talking to 2 altar boys. about drugs.
Was Baz calling the friar a nonce?

For my birthday I would like to give you the opportunity to be better than the DWP. Being disabled with zero income fucking sucks!
It is my birthday tomorrow! My eyes are shit and I have had a shit year with ailments and fighting the DWP. I gig less because of this, and everything is expensive because of the blindness/shit hands.
For my birthday, I would like money to survive another year of this. Help me make it to 40 easier.

Just got an NHS letter inviting me to take part in a prostate health survey.
But don't worry, there was a trans inclusive footnote.
It's "open to men, trans women, and non-binary people who were assigned male at birth."
So... Open to trans men, then?
You sure about that, hon?

Dreamt a workaround to the "Third Space" argument for venues to provide segregated toilets for trans people:
Make the trans toilets way nicer than the cis toilets.
Felt like a goddamn genius.
Then I woke up and @frizfrizzle.bsky.social informed me that that's literally a plotline in South Park
