Has anyone else NOT received their pre-ordered shirt and souvenir tickets? It was supposed to arrive by Dec 2025 but still nothing for us. Can't get hold of Sandbag via email who are supposedly responsible? @SandbagLTD @SlamDunkMusic Any help please? #slamdunkfest #merchandise

So now that I've deleted 95% of my posts/tweets/Xweets on here, I'm wondering why I didn't just delete the profile😂
Call it hope, call it delusional optimism - anyway for now, felt despair, might delete later!
Stay safe all xx

Honestly it was Tintin that got me into comics... I had only a few volumes and would re-read them multiple times until I got new ones! First - Red Rakham's Treasure! ❤

What's the difference between ADHD and autism? How are they similar? What's it like to be both an ADHDer and autistic at the same time? Let's dig in! #cosmictakeover (1/12)

Halloween is one of my favourite occasions. But in some areas of the world (sometimes too close to home) I am reminded we all need to DO 👏 THE 👏 WORK 👏
Me: I’ll go running. That seems the simplest (read: cheapest) sport to take up…
Me, later: I need shoes that aren’t falling apart, a sports bra, something with pockets and zips, a water bottle…where do people put money, phone and keys? I AM NOT TRAINED FOR THIS 😂😂
