Well, it seems I'm still on this plane of existence! Disability rights stuff, fashion history. Cumbria (UK). Autistic. She, for the moment.

Sort of hilarious. At this point whenever the BBC say they've made something comedic or musical you should automatically assume it's about violence and addiction. One does wonder why they don't just make things good enough that they could market them honestly...

Caught some of that Riot Women programme and find it hilarious how the BBC have ONCE AGAIN made one of their miserable programmes about violence etc and marketed it as if it's a fun musical.

"Taking supplements proves you're a hypochondriac."

"Oh. Then you should take more supplements"

How can I sue the person who decided the music they play during an MRI should contain adverts?

The most completely mundane replies being hid in my mentions without my consent or control is absolutely ridiculous and outrageous.

@pfrazee.com yโ€™all gotta give us back control of our own accounts this is out of hand.

Literally hid a cat picture someone sent me.

Apparently baseball fans just had the equivalent of Inter's Seven Minutes Of Terror against Barca in 2010. Except it was like seven years

Oh, nice, a good long explanation for once! French, c. 1780. The pattern still looks quite modern.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

"both of us felt invalidated by the other" - yes, I've experienced that. It's difficult to know how to get round it.

NHS have excelled themselves... given me a questionnaire and a letter that says "Please check the last sentence of the questionnaire and contact the department by telephone if necessary."

The last sentence is "MR Authorised Person Signature".

If it's the same as ME then this will be cognitive dysfunction (brain is not currently working well due to e.g. inadequate blood flow) rather than cognitive impairment (brain permanently harmed)...

You should get paid overtime when you dream about work. They already steal most of your waking hours, how dare they infringe on your sleeping ones?

The image shows a pumpkin carved to look like a Beholder from Dungeons and Dragons. There's a Funko Pop Astarion figure in the shadows off to the left side.

Fear, much like beauty, is in the eye of the Beholder. Happy Halloween!

Buying a flat costs a million pounds, everyone is full of microplastics, we've just blasted past 1.5ยฐ of global warming and the world is run by sclerotic legacy billionaires with prion diseases. You're fucking luck Gen Z aren't mailing pipe bombs to bankers. Let them have their fucking croissant.
