I've been on Twitter forever. I hope it improves again, because it's basically my safe, happy place. 😬 👍 #MyXAnniversary

@lillbjorne @hmm_cook dread, anxiety, expectation. People wear 2 shoes. You can hear when they take them off & drop them on a hard floor. You hear the 1st shoe fall. Wait for the other. If it doesn't fall, if you don't hear it, you're left hanging. Might also come from sound of footsteps, not sure.

I’m wondering if you experienced this thing that I do, where, when you’re hanging out alone, and then someone walks into the room, or the doorbell rings, and all of a sudden you feel like your peace has gone? And your nervous system is on edge, like you have to perform, or you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop? 1/2 #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Anxiety

ADHD is having the vocabulary of a university professor and the coordination of a newborn giraffe trying to walk past a coffee table.

I have no idea if anyone I know is still on Twitter but just in case I want to tell you that my new book The Midnight Train is out today.

It has been a strange, upsetting and arduous day. But at least I'm winning at #Duolingo. Greek and Latin today.

I have had hard realisations recently that people I thought were genuine friends actually weren't friends at all. Again. When will I ever learn? 😞 How do you distinguish between friendship, acquaintance, and professional relationships? #Autistic #ActuallyAutistic

There’s a cool feature in Latin, the gerundive, which is a verbal adjective implying that something should/must happen. A few of them survive into English words: If someone should be revered, they are “reverend”. If something must be cut away, it is a “dividend”. My favorite: if a story is so good that it simply must be read by everyone, it is “legend”! Latin reverendus/a, dividendum, and legenda. Pretty cool that what is sometimes a difficult concept for Latin learners is actually present in English, albeit rarely. Do let me know if there are any good ones I’ve missed.

I just discovered that a set of my Dad's books, which my mother either gave or threw away, is probably worth in the region of £1000. It's less the money than the fact that they were my dad's and I'd like to read them. 😭 Yet another hidden cost of #Bipolar Disorder.

This week I found among my father's books, a handwritten manuscript for a #shorthand system he had devised, and which he had intended to publish. I will try to devote some time to reading it over Christmas.

Ladybird book in the spotlight. ‘The Postman’ (1965) (John Berry based many of his amazing illustrations for ‘The Postman’ on a booklet published by the GPO’s PR department in the early 60s)

What, really? I didn't know about this—no more letter deliveries for the Danish after 2025—that's awful! I hope it's repealed. And here in UK we must promote letter-writing!
Handwritten Letter@letterappsoc

Anyone have one last Christmas card they fancy sending to the CEO of Postnord Denmark to mark this tragic and terrible end of an era? Sadly no more letter deliveries for the Danish after 2025. #PromoteLetters ☹️📮🇩🇰💔
