Suicide Attempt and Med Changes
In early September we had a heatwave in Southend-on-Sea, England. I live in a upper level flat surrounded by flats next to me, above me and below me. The back of my flat is sealed by a bathroom and kitchen. It stays lovely and warm in winter but as I discovered in this first summer…

Star Trek Voyager: Endgame
I’m watching the #StarTrek Voyager series finale ‘Endgame’ tonight. It’s a good episode. I almost shed a tear to see Tuvok in a care home. Janeway was very kind to him when visiting.

Colonialism in the UK Today
I have previously written about how I feel the Social Contract needs to be more fair in the UK. This is especially true for Autistic and Mad people. Although in recent history, Mad people have had greater liberties by being able to live in the community rather than in Asylums or long stay hospitals. Today…
