Thank you
I think next bookshop tour is going to be a bit different to last year’s one www.robinince.com
I’ve done many talks about neurodivergence - especially since Normally Weird was published - I would often say I’d been fortunate in looking back and not feeling frustration or fury at what I’d lost by not knowing what was going on in my head - I don’t feel like that anymore - loss phase has begun
You sure do / paid in old ring pulls and shiny pebbles and whatever else we then use for currency
Better go get that off the shelf

Oops
So often the press, politicians and electorate treat the powerful as if they are who they pretend to be and not who they so obviously are (Farage, Trump and so many more)

Cover of review with stylised Alan on it
#NOTALLMEN "Not all men" Sure. That's true. But oh so many men And as one myself, Negligibly, Some very male males may say, I cannot comprehend How so many abuses never end The man whose legs spring open Like misogynistic secateurs As he takes the train seat by your side Blurs the boundaries Both ambivalent to your existence Yet the knee rub is persistent. A woman smiling at a stranger Shouldn't lead to danger Yet friendliness is so often deformed into an offer. All that late night threat Dismissed as "just a joke" Or "you're too woke".
In Washington A house has opened gates To a relentless predator. While previous presidents were pleased to cajole fellatio And then, Post priapism, Turn their flirtatious face into angry denial "that woman! That woman! That woman!" A comment on a stranger's breast and all the rest Should surely be confined into a past But still Not yet If we wish to be #not all men! If we want to prove Solanas wrong Then we will show that to be truly strong We won't stand in silence As our sisters fight alone

Reading Cookie Mueller again and started thinking about all those young lives taken by AIDS. thought of the state of the world now . Wondering, how much damage to our future came from those minds being taken so young
