Chuck Mullin, a London-based artist, channels her battle with anxiety and depression into her artwork by creating comics centered around... well a pigeon protagonist. Initiating this creative journey at seventeen as a means to navigate her mental health struggles, she discovered that pigeons were an ideal medium to convey the intricacies of mental struggles people go through.

Her book, "Bird Brain," showcases this journey with humor and poignancy, offering a window into her experiences with anxiety, isolation, and the occasional triumphs of optimism, thereby resonating with a wide audience online.

    Given the rise of scammers spoofing phone numbers, this is exactly how I deal with every unknown number these days. Don't answer, google it and call back only if others haven't flagged it as a scam

    Perfect amount of time to think of an excuse! “I can’t wait to hangout this day!”. “We should do this when we hangout!”. “Oh gosh I can’t hang out tomorrow :((((“

    I’m not sure if that’s a band or just a pun for a toxic relationship.

    I'm 67 and had a few long term relationships (that ended for various reasons). My kids have families of their own now and I am now single by choice. I am quite enjoying my alone time :)
