@robinince.bsky.social such a lovely vibe at Wood Festival. I hope they’ve got enough copies of the book!

I’m looking for book recommendations. Futuristic sci fi that’s not dystopian and no romance. Is there such a thing? #books #scifi #recommendations #reading

Thanks. Just finished listening to the book. Emotional, honest, and in places like a mirror to my mind. Thank you for writing it

Oxfordshire: Eighteen-year wait for adult autism assessments The service responsible for assessments stopped taking on new patients at the end of November.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is disgraceful and must be sorted out. 18 years wait for an adult autism assessment.

Thank you so much to @idlesband.bsky.social for helping us spread the word about #gigbuddies inclusivity and accessibility at their Birmingham show last night, especially to Dev who came and talked to people about the scheme.

My spatial awareness is terrible. But I’ve stored stuff to work abroad before and you can fit in a lot more than you think

I wasn’t aware of it. Not often that side of Oxford but it sounds like it’s definitely worth a rummage!

Ooh I didn’t know about all those places. But you’ve probably bought what I would have bought πŸ˜‚

I am pretty jealous of that haul!
