ADHD, autism and me: Neurodiversity Celebration Week

Last week was Neurodiversity Celebration Week. But due to the lack of a deadline, a plan, my ability to priotise and deliver I missed it. Again. Missed the week to celebrate the lives of us ND folk. Missed the week to write inspiring posts and celebrate our differences. Missed the annual Instagram vs Reality week where we focus on the joy and relegate the reality. Ignore the exhaustion, bluff away the burnout, deny the overload. Continue reading ADHD, autism and me: Neurodiversity Celebration Week

And so it shall pass that two old queer dears who like a bit of disco and some house music will be near a microphone broadcasting some of the aforementioned type of tunes on the radio. 1BTN radio to be precise.

Spirit of Zap Reunion

The Zap Club was always much more to me than just a name above an archway. Its influence on my life far greater than anything this wide-eyed queer suede head could have imagined back in 1990 when I first made my way to its famous if filthy Brighton dancefloor. The sea salt ingrained in the crumbling arches was as fundamental to my life as a … Continue reading Spirit of Zap Reunion
