Local gov community development worker by day / community busy body by night. Though here I will talk a lot about my 4yo & baby. Views entirely personal and occasionally a bit hot-headed - don’t quote me. Late diagnosed autistic. (She/they)

Remember this also means don't dunk on bigots with quote replies.
You can turn off quote replies here, if they were hurt and didn't want you to do it you'd know.

"i hope this site doesn't end up like the last one :("

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

🚫 Don't argue with them!
🚫 Don't quote them!

A poster showing a weeping skull wearing a red hat. The skeleton is holding a smartphone that is showing no comments, shares, or likes, as though no one is interacting with its posts. The text on the poster reads "This account does not feed trolls. Block and move on."

As much as I adore my kids I can’t wait til they’re asleep so I can experiment with my new clothes popper pliers 😆

Today was mostly spent eating chocs and giving out flyers while one pal played with my son and another held my daughter.

Open box of Cadbury chocolates, and stacks of Hope Not Hate flyers

Earlier my nearly 5yo said ‘I love you mummy, you’re so big and you’re so cute’ 😆

AND I think I’ve maybe been vinted scammed? Sold something that was _definitely_ not a gift for my son 4 years ago, anyway the buyer is claiming I’ve sent a badge instead. Haven’t posted anything else in my forays into vinted, so it’s extremely unlikely.

It was open! And the person in front of me in the queue said to the cashier ‘I need proof of postage so can I take your photo with the item?’ he said ‘sure but you’ll also get a receipt’ lol

I need to go to the Post Office, but feel like my local one opens and closes whenever they feel like and you can’t trust its google listing. What a time to be alive!

Watching last night’s Traitors and woke the baby up laughing at the ridiculousness of the singing well challenge

Adding butter beans to the shopping list! I might go for fried tomatoes on toast 🍅

No cheese today and a very fussy baby post-jabs👎

Kerry @kerryleslie.bsky.social · 3d

I’m making a bib for my daughter from my son’s old t-shirt that got ripped at nursery. Imperfect and unfinished for today, but I am really enjoying the 15 mins switch off for sewing after the kids are asleep and the house has been reset.

At the sewing table, an unfinished craft project lays on a cutting mat. It’s a baby’s bib, with a tomato pattern.

Kerry @kerryleslie.bsky.social · 3d

Cannot wait to catch up tomorrow 🤩

Ta-da! Erin posing like they own the joint 😆

Shop front, with postbox facing into the shop. The sign is teal and says The Old Post Office Coworking Space. A person stands in the doorway, proud.

Anyway I had a KIT day today but hilariously (argh) my email address / computer login was suspended because I hadn’t logged in in three months. No shit! 😆

Kerry @kerryleslie.bsky.social · 4d

I need to go to sleep but I have so many things I want to google.

Everyday: Is this joke bad or is it my autism?

Kerry @kerryleslie.bsky.social · 4d

Oh no. Am I supposed to do that? I know I’m supposed to oil my chopping board and I have (and will) never. I just hope for the best (in everything).

Kerry @kerryleslie.bsky.social · 4d

It was!! 😄😄😄
