I am not sure if anyone cares
what a 27 year old with autism
and special needs has to say,
but I want to help inspire others.
I lost both my parents when
I was 19. I was attacked
and bullied.
But it hasn’t broken me.

Can you retweet this
if you care what I have to say?

@duolingo have sent feedback on your app many times and no one responds. Getting fed up with the American version of the app and want a version that uses English as spoken in UK. Possible or should I use a different app?

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

@Louiestowell Thanks Louie. It was a fabulous day. Best part of writing for kids I reckon!

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

Did the West Cornwall Primary school festival today. It was fabulous - engaged kids, bookshop ran out of my books and one student told me I was their favourite author.
Now if I could just get my publisher to sit up and take notice…

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

@RachelDelahaye @emreadsthebooks Already read it!

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

@RachelDelahaye Thanks Rach. I wish that too. Felt the same way when I did the North Cornwall book festival last year. Bookshop sold out of books. Publisher not interested. It sucks!

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

The temptation to blow everything up by posting wild and angry tweets today is strong. So I'm stepping away for a bit. Have a good summer. Hopefully be back here when I'm in a better headspace...

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

@vnssaguirre Well I think what I've written is in this ballpark but can't find an agent who has room on their list for such a thing!

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

Ok I’ve had it with this crap summer weather. Is there a way we can go on strike or something? Petition even?

She was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 4 April 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

Anyone else had glue ear as an adult? Tried most things but it’s not shifting.

@NJSimmondsbooks And a coach house!

Spend three minutes watching this man talk in a humane, evidence-based way about penal policy. Then realise that he is now in charge of prisons. And then feel the waves of relief wash over you.

Now that the Greens have won 4 seats , can we please have endless discussions on every media outlet about the rise of progressive politics & how important saving the planet is to the UK electorate.

[Alan Kelly @akellyucc]

Everyone slags Starmer over the family background in tools but in fairness he can assemble a cabinet quickly

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

@joannanadin @drlouisenewson It’s so ridiculous. I got told a pea sized amount which was rubbish. Have done one sachet and it was ludicrous. My previous Testim came out of a tube but they’ve stopped producing it. 🙄

[Lou Abercrombie @LadyGrimdark]

If a man is prescribed testosterone 1 sachet = 1 dose (tweezers for scale)
I, as a woman, have to figure out how to get 8 doses out of this.
Ffs. Why can’t pharmaceuticals make things for women? @drlouisenewson is there any hope for that?

Timpson’s are well-known for employing ex-offenders to help them back into work. They pay their tax. They value their staff. And then there’s this.

CEO James Timpson (who’s also Chair of the Prison Reform Trust) is the new Prisons Minister. Great appointment
