‘Groundbreaking … [provides] a deep history of the invention of the “normal” mind as one of the most damaging and oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly’ Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes‘Argues that a radical politics of neurodiversity is necessary, not only for neurodivergent folk, but for our collective liberation’ Professor Hel Spandler, editor, Asylum magazine‘A vital ...

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Neurodiversity is the idea that human brains function in a variety of ways. By understanding that people take in, process, and respond to information differently, we can appreciate how these profound differences affect the ways in which we experience the world and form relationships with one another. In spite of the central simplicity of this concept, the consequences of fully understanding and exploring neurodiversity...

On the 19th of November 2010 I began using WORDPRESS as "digital paper" to centrally store and edit my rhymes and I promptly digitized nine of my poems which had managed to survive till that point."Jezebel" was one of those rhymes, written originally as "Live Dangerously" several years earlier (probably around 2007) but which, amazingly, managed to find its way onto a rock CD almost ten years later. "Without You" was also adopted for a WildScreW guitar melody and also found its way ...

Documentation of the various trials and tribulations which led to the WildScreW band name logo, the CD cover and booklet art and even the graffito tag which also adorns this eBOOK's cover illustration.For this eBOOK I have drawn heavily on the relevant blog entries which have not only jogged a few of my memories concerning the process, but have also, effectively, meant that the chonological detail is accurate.

The songs in this book represent my work on song lyrics for a band project called PackEis. Matthias Esswein (vocals), Peter Mathes (bass), Dominik Butnaru (durms) and Martin "Kühl" (Guitarist) made up the four man stoner rock group, who had recorded their first CD, "Collision Guaranteed" in 2010, and were working on material for their second CD. In mid 2012 I was asked by the band to put lyrics to some song ALPHAs they had lined up for their second album, but the group disbanded at the end...

The songs in this book represent my lyrical work on new material for a band project called FATE, formed in 2017 and named after its members (Frank Suß, Andy Chapman, Tobi Muff and Erich May) four of the five members of the disbanded WildScreW. All guitar, bass and vocal melodies are included in the book (as hyperlinks to a cloud address).

Looking at the rhymes I wrote in 2012 I am quite surprised at the number which were married to WildScreW musical melodies, effectively turning the poems into songs. "Free Fall", "Beast With Two Backs", "Stung!", "Cougar!" and "On My Own" were all developed from original Thomas Wild guitar melodies, so called ALPHAs, and were professionally recorded on the studio CD which was released at the start of 2017. "On My Own" is a guitar melody which has haunted Thomas, so he claims, since he start...

2013 was a year in which around half the total lyrical work was married to WildScreW musical melodies, effectively turning the poems into songs.The WildScrew song "The Beginning Of The End", which was developed from one of Thomas Wild's guitar melodies, a so called ALPHA, was penned and professionally recorded on the studio CD which was released at the start of 2017. The guitar melody has haunted Thomas, so he claims, since he started to learn to play the guitar, aged 17.The ...
