Late diagnosed ADHD. Planning officer. Adopter. Finding my way back to where I want to be.
Day 4 taking ADHD medication and my first work meetings. I now have meeting notes that are legible and which aren't just a series of half finished words and sentences that don't relate to anything else.

The changes that the government announced to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund without consultation earlier this month will badly hit families like mine whose children have suffered early trauma.

Really good talk by Hugh Ellis of @thetcpa.bsky.social at today’s RTPI south west renewables seminar this morning. It’s nice to see someone talking with candour about the importance of planning and the overall failure of the ‘leave it to the market’ approach that has prevailed for so long

I’ve finally gotten round to deactivating my twitter account. Haven’t logged in for months and it’s been clear for some time that I’d never go back. I won’t miss it. Or at least what it became.

So that’s it. I’ve finally gotten around to deleting my website, the last vestige of a business that I started with high hopes of it being a career change and a move to a more independent and creative life. Unfortunately I had to give up on that dream because life took over. (🧵 1/4)

The world is on fire. The richest man in the world is doing nazi salutes from behind the US presidential lectern, hatred and division seem to be winning and yet BBC breakfast have decided to do a big piece on that major problem of 35 years ago - clocking cars.

This afternoon I’ve been confronted with two extremely sexually explicit photos in my discover feed. I’ve checked my settings and they are locked down for NSFW content.

I don’t think I’m particularly prudish but to just have full frontal nudity in my discover feed isn’t good

I’m following too many politics accounts on here and it’s just depressing me about the state of the world.

Any recommendations for some more lighthearted or life affirming accounts would be warmly welcomed. Bonus points for ADHD tips or pictures of cats.

Having to work late so of course Virgin Media decides to throw a fit and stop working, breaking my VPN connection and crashing my work systems. Thanks, Virgin once again for being utterly terrible.

I didn’t have Liz Truss sending a cease and desist to the PM on my ‘2025 political lunacy’ bingo card.

I’m blocking an awful lot of scammy thirst trap accounts this morning.

I do like how Wes Streeting is prepared to be completely unambiguous in denouncing Elmo’s nonsense. Such a contrast from matching Farage squirm and avoid the question minutes earlier #bbclaurak

Saturday morning means BBC news watch and hearing all the insane and petty complaints about how the bbc is doing things wrong. I think most of the people who write in must just want ceefax back

I was truly shocked at listening to the second part of the Origin Story Podcast on Benjamin Netanyahu by @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social. That guy’s involved in some really dark shit.

I’ve seen a bit about this app so here I am giving it a try. Any recommendations for non-toxic UK people welcomed
