This is silly.

At 16 you can't serve in a combat role but you can join the army, you can have a job and pay income tax, you can have sex or start a family, you are assumed competent to consent to medical treatment. This isn't some arbitrary line, only crossed here!

This is the underlying issue with using something as heavy-handed as proscription for a group with a loose structure and a broadly popular central cause: the police are not going to argue about the specific clauses in the group's manifesto when they threaten you.

Speak to the folks around you who love you, and they can point out all the reasons that the latter is not the case as far as they are concerned (far more meaningfully than I could as a stranger online). Beyond that? In all honesty, therapy.

It's so ANNOYING it keeps glitching underneath posts & involuntarily trying to summarise them for me when I just want it to get lost

I genuinely don't get why they exist, they seem to show up on every social platform (keep getting inundated in Insta notifs lately) & be entirely pointless except to just annoy everyone.

Ah sorry to hear that – hope it's nothing serious & you can find it in yourself to enjoy it, bc it's a great cinematic experience.

I know Christopher Eccleston has never officially returned to TV Doctor Who. However, primary schools using the BBC 10 Pieces lessons for classical music know he returned in 2015 playing a very familiar character, even down to the 'Run for your life' line.

Google photos assuming everything is a "special memory" and plays back social occasions with upbeat music interspersed with the photo you took of the boiler so the plumber could see what parts they needed to order

Today is one of those days that I feel so much social dread that my body physically reacts to it & I want to hide away in a hole (aka, it's the day of the office Christmas party). And like, I like my colleagues! My brain is just going NOPE

I love that both hardcore musicals fans like myself, and folks who are new to it as you are, are loving it equally!

It's gonna take me a while to get into the swing of actually using this place, I think, but it is nice to see so many familiar faces!

I often think that life would be a little brighter with a cat curled up beside me – manifesting that in both of our futures!

It always feels so much harder to process feelings at this time of year – the darker shorter days really do have an impact.

Yeah I use a browser extension over there that has meant my timeline hasn't really changed (it's still all chronological followers-only)
