Thank you. I'll be honest, it was very scary, but I'm fine.

CW: Harm to a dog

Keep your dog on a fucking lead! We're at the emergency vet because a bigger dog ran away from its owner, grabbed Snowy in its mouth, and shook her.

So please, keep your dogs on a lead when out. Oh, and pick up their poo and put it in a bin. Your dog, your responsibility. [1/2]

Ive just seen a post saying $62.2 million is "close to a billion dollars".

Me in a grey t-shirt. It has a Tetrarch tank overlaid with the trans pride flag and the words, "Protect trans kids"

I'm not generally a https://gts.phillipsuk.org/tags/selfie person, but I have a new t-shirt and I want to show it off 🙂

Have any of you heard of medics painting over their red crosses during the Second World War because of the Germans or Japanese specifically targeting them?

I know there are sites that take content from blogs and repost it without permission. I understand that's why many RSS feeds add a notice about where the feed came from. But using RSS to read a blog post is not stealing. [3/3]

I'm rather annoyed by the "and was stolen from" part. I most certainly did not steal it, I subscribed to the RSS feed that their site offers. [2/3]

Photo of a Queen Elizabeth II class aircraft carrier. Text says "The Royal Navy. Kind of like Uber, but for Royal Marines"

A friend sent me this earlier. I can't argue with the logic 🙂

NHS blood and transplant branded thank you card. It has "Thank you so much" written in red. "Thanks" and "Thank you" are written in grey all over the card.

I gave blood today. It was my 50th donation, so I got a thank you card.

Yes, the book I wanted a cover artist for. Hopefully I'll publish that later this year.

I asked around on my social media accounts.

Yes, it's very new. That's why I encourage people to add sites.

Exactly the same could be said about Wikipedia or OpenStreetMap when they were new. They are useful now because lots of people contributed.

prepped.to | Sensory information and service instructions for better planning Plan your visit at businesses and locations with sensory information and instructions, for and from the autistic community. Noise, lighting, smells, human load, payment methods, toilets and how to get service.

I added my first venue to this site today. I'm intending to add more, and I would encourage other autistic people to do the same.

This sounds like a really good idea to me. It's a map of businesses etc. For each one, there is information to help autistic people navigate them.

I'm commissioning someone to create the cover art for my next book. We've just had a meeting to discuss ideas, process, etc.

This is the first time I've commissioned art for a cover, and I'm really excited to see what comes of it. [1/2]
