A newsletter about being different. I’m [Pete Carr](https://petecarr.net/) (they/them) an [autistic](https://www.hellocomputer.co/tag/autism/)[writer and photographer](https://petecarr.net/) identifying as [non-binary](https://www.hellocomputer.co/hethey-is-non-binary-now/) with ADHD and sprinkles on top. ## Viewscreen The photos in this post are from a recent trip to Blackpool, during the Illuminations. ![Large monstrous creations are illuminated in purple colours against the backdrop of Blackpool Tower.](https://pete.news/content/images/2024/03/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f9ab99e5b-e840-4efd-8874-c1323b867ff6_2500x1663-jpeg.jpg) Large monstrous creations are illuminated in purple colours against the backdrop of Blackpool Tower. ## Captain’s Log At the age of 45 I’ve come to realise that one of my migraine triggers is the moon. I get Moongraines. I’m not exactly sure what the trigger is, but I have had enough of them to notice the pattern. Migraines occur around full moons. How do I compensate for that? It’s (gesticulating wildly) … the moon! I can’t, which means that this week I had a migraine. It was a bad one. The worst I’ve had in 20 years. Was the moon closer than normal? Are the [Clangers](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUCS%5FnxyrNnk7dqaWW3JRtQ) up to something? Who knows. What I do know is it’s left me with a bad case of brain fog and I have been unable to focus enough to write. So, no big story this week I’m afraid. Let’s see what next week brings. --- ![A sign saying I heart BPL glows in front of large monstrous colourfully lit illuminations.](https://pete.news/content/images/2024/03/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2fef2cc224-428e-46de-acc1-98b0199e9a4b_2500x1663-jpeg.jpg) A sign saying ‘I heart BPL’ glows in front of large monstrous colourfully lit illuminations. --- ## Transporter room - [I was in a Channel 4 documentary – what happened next broke my heart | Metro News](https://metro.co.uk/2023/11/05/i-was-in-a-channel-4-documentary-what-happened-next-broke-my-heart-19761264/?ito=article.mweb.share.top.link) - [How to feel grounded - The Clearing by Katherine May](https://katherinemay.substack.com/p/how-to-feel-grounded?r=h8uv) - [Quil Lemons explores queerness and the Black male form in new series Quiladelphia (NSFW)](https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/quil-lemons-quiladelphia-photography-project-161023) - [Why Some of the Rainbow Is Missing](https://kottke.org/23/11/why-some-of-the-rainbow-is-missing) ![People walk through domes of green lights on the promenade in Blackpool.
