I've popped a blog post up about communicating when you're in a #trauma response (because that stuff is really hard!): https://blog.alexisbushnell.com/communication-for-when-you-cant-communicate/

#CPTSD #Communication

@alexisbushnell it was really lovely to be a part of! It's nice to know that people can have different viewpoints and just add to more understanding, rather than fall out and argue.

Don’t over-think it! Kindness is most strongly welcomed when it feels natural and authentic, not forced or contrived.

AD&D colouring books from 1983. I now need these more than I need air in my lungs.

It's #FediForumFriday- your reminder to check in with projects you're excited about, ask for or offer help, or just chat with the folks you met and refresh the joy and motivation you felt at #FediForum.

@alexisbushnell I think people *would* understand if you didn't feel up to that, tonight.

@alexisbushnell well, bums.

@alexisbushnell does it taste as purple as it looks?

We’ll have the kettle on too, so come for a brew and a browse – it’s a lovely way to meet new folks, clear out your cupboard and go home with something fresh (without spending a fortune).

£5.00 Adult ticket https://awesome.wales/events/

Boosts appreciated! Sharing for this amazing community effort which I haven't lured to Fedi yet!

Tickets £5: https://awesome.wales/events/

Dig out those wardrobe wonders you’re no longer wearing and give them a new lease of life! It’s time for our summer Swap Siop – a fun, friendly clothes swap for grown-ups (because the kids shouldn’t get all the preloved goodies).

@wales #Wales #ValeOfGlamorgan

Here’s how it works:
👕 Bring up to 5 good quality items of adult clothing (no holes, bobbles or dodgy zips, please).
👗 Pop them on the rails.
🧥 Then choose up to 5 new-to-you pieces to take home. Simple as that.

PLUS:
We’ll have our usual ‘pay what you like’ table – think books, accessories, plants, oddments, whatever you fancy passing on. All donations go towards our building fund, helping us fit a new accessible toilet and kitchen at Eto.

Work systems are down, I've been up since 7. Guess I'm scrolling YouTube and drinking coffee, then.

So I guess this is just my life now.... #dnd
