I've only seen one starring a man, and I also hate. Clearly there are multiple ads. *siiiiiiigh*

Sorry for sometimes really casually talking about traumatic stuff. My body is very casually traumatic, and it's a habit developing thing. 3/4

The laughter is a load bearing support. If we don't laugh, we'll cry/scream until we can't anymore x.x

Huh. I would be in the figures for 2025/26. Should I feel less alone that there's over half a million of us getting this horrendous treatment, or worse because of the size of the problem?

I don't know.

I made a rule that if you cause the word panettone in grant of me, you owe me panettone.

Time to cough up.

PATTED YOUR BELLY?!?! Thank you for saying this. The voices of fat liberation seem to have disappeared out of my feeds as well as everywhere else, and it is *hurting*

I'm reading the Chronicles of St Mary series by Jodi Taylor. Fun escapism, but also much peril.

Oh no. More news I've missed that I should know about.

It's never anything nice that I need to read up on, is it?

Huh. I didn't know there's a cafe there. I'm at the hospital across the road multiple times a year, so might take a look. Assuming it's accessible on a scooter anyway.

I'm not sure if this will be considered rude to ask, so apologies and ignore if so.

I keep looking at all these amazing wiggly legs and thinking surely loads must break in firing? Fall off?

Do loads go wrong in some way or have you done so many that most are successful?

The Government that keeps on banging on about how everyone benefits from good work, but does nothing to make sure there are good jobs? Yeah, that Government.

I have found this brand to be the most available, which is now my criteria because as you've also found, it's all a total nightmare.

Should you be thinking you want to look at yet more of this shit 🀣🀣

Ah, I didn't know there were industrial versions!

I use home ones a lot and a) not well designed and b) refills often more expensive than buying whole. Which...I mean the planet doesn't matter, right?

I realise you've deliberately not named the equipment, but by posting you've obviously planted a question in my head that I cannot answer. ARGH!

Is it? In a world where people think you're meant to have 2 litres of water a day and think other drinks don't count? As if drinks aren't all almost entirely water? But if it's marketed as flavoured water people think it counts, and squash doesn't (cordial if you're non-UK).

I could go on...

I'm more annoyed that things get sold as "water". If it has anything other than water in it, it's not fucking water. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

It also appears to be the current surplus this month, the one after the big tax deadline so isn't an actual surplus. It's just that there's big income this month. Why the fuck is there big reporting on that? If it isn't a whole year's surplus or equivalent it literally means nothing.

It's the only thing that's ever worked for me. And by work, I mean I have zero migraine-free days, but it reduced by average pain a bit.

So yeah, terrified about covers it!

Thank you! I've had a look since we last spoke and what I'm going to do first is look carefully at how much movement I have after my appointment on Monday.

My migraine flared up in late 2023 and hasn't recovered, so it's all a bit complex to see what is and isn't working.

I've seen this shared so many times but paywalled article I can't read. Not usually a big deal, but So Many Shares!

Gaaaaaaah.
