Hello, Bluesky Peoples! I don't spend nearly enough time over here. I should change that. 🤔
Watching the 20th!! #Springwatch with the fabulous @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
When you want to be fit as a fiddle, but you're beaten like a drum instead. #spoonielife
I wrote a 'PROPER' folk ballad! This'll teach you history and stuff, it's long and earnest, AND there's a tragic untimely death; it's got all the things!! 😁

Photo of Autumn Dawn Leader, seated in a cafe, wearing black, including a new corset belt. Autumn has long black hair, containing some grey. She is tattooed. Her appearance is a goth aesthetic.
I'm a woman over 50. I got referred to as eye-candy today. Wow! That's as good as being asked for ID when buying booze! 😁
Awaken the fire and ride with the moonlight. Blessed Beltane!! youtu.be/D89H9ASKgT4?...

When you try to act healthier than you are for too long that shit catches up to you. I don't even have phantom spoons left. I had plans this weekend which, now, are sadly no more. Bed rest is now the requirement. #spoonielife #chronicillnessrealities
This week on 'Perimenopause Sucks (And Not In A Good Way)', Autumn (that's me) wakes up on Sunday morning to find the new oestrogen patch she just applied the night before is stuck firmly to her sheets rather than to her bum where it belongs! 🤦🏻♀️
I might need to watch my perimenopausal anger today. I'm out in Nottingham and wearing my New Rocks today... and, if I end up kicking the shite outta some mf, said mf is going to be very hurt.
Yup.
I did an interview for Progzilla Radio
It's at progzilla.com/in-conversat...
We talk about my music, the making of the album 'Naked Truth', my love for Marillion and the future - or possible future - of me and my music.

Out of hrt and can't get a doctor's appointment. Wondering if 'living with' perimenopause is worth it, or if I need to just give up now, make myself a very tasty rat-poison sandwich, and go to bed? Highly considering it! #perimenopause #agingsucks
Oh dear. I used to wonder why my mum was always complaining of her back itching so badly ALL THE TIME that she would use door frames to scratch her own back with to get relief! I never connected it with the menopause, because no one tells you about those things. I now catch myself in the doorframe!
Yes, I could only imagine how much worse it would be without the HRT I'm on - and copious amounts of moisturiser!
What no one ever tells you about getting older/perifuckingmenopause is that it makes your skin so itchy you want to SCRATCH IT OFF!
ARRRGGGGGHHHH!!!
My left hand holding a bottle of CBD oil.
I proved to myself yesterday how much CBD helps me when I made an impulse purchase of some CBD chocolate that was on sale at H&B. My hips in constant pain & my brain weasels up full volume were both muffled by the choc. So,today I replenished my supply of CBD oil. Shut up, pain & torture-brain!
Perimenopause is beating my arse today. I have stuff and things to do, but brain not braining and body not bodying. So, bed it is.
Things can fuck off and stuff can wait.
Here's a playlist for you to listen to while I convalesce. open.spotify.com/playlist/1By...
Ohhhh! The cuteness! 😻😻😻
One of my drawings. A swirly, curvy woman, standing proudly, with arms over her head. Text reads 'Happy International Women's Day'

Tomorrow is #BandcampFriday the day @bandcamp.com waives their fees so all the money goes to the artists making the music. It's a great day to support artists like me! Check out what people are saying about my new album Naked Truth on the images below. autumndawnleader.bandcamp.com/album/naked-...
Image says, 'You deserve to feel sexy and supernatural all the time'.
I'm going to LarpCon in Coalville tomorrow for the first time, with @tommontac.bsky.social who has gone before. But, as I, too, am 'sexy & supernatural', I'm sure I'll fit right in. And, apparently, the theme is Monty Python & the Holy Grail. So, yeah... I'll be right at home. #larpcon
2 weeks tomorrow.
Naked Truth is now available to stream on Spotify. Add a song or three to your playlists. Get it in your ears.

“Now there’s a new scary thing”
Every time I get on my phone to do literally anything
My new favourite selfie. Not bad for an old bird, am I?
The f-ing brain weasels are relentless! 🤦🏻♀️
BUT
SO
IS
LOVE ❤️
Swirly drawing with pen and coloured pencils of a raven 'speaking'
Swirly drawing of a tree and its root structure
Swirly drawing of a fae woman, standing front on, wings fully unfurled
Swirly woman with small breasts and full figure stomach, side on. She has long hair and has her arms raised above her head
This weekend I have been mostly drawing.
Creativity takes many forms.
A reminder that my album, 'Naked Truth' is out and available for dl or as limited edition CD: autumndawnleader.bandcamp.com/album/naked-...

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #103876:
Never worry about whether what you write "matters." It matters because you do. And one day, someone else may read it and understand that they matter, too. This is how we build a world, one connection at a time.
