When watching Star Trek, I pause at the end of every scene and cross reference what’s happened against my quantum mechanics lecture notes and explain what’s gone wrong.

When reading my nephew Thomas the Tank Engine, I make sure to remind him trains can’t talk at the end of every page.

Can I signal that I’m anti war by eating French Fries, or is that too 2003?

Facebook advert from Kiwi.com urging me to consider a Β£90 flight to Tehran.
That's Tehran, the capital of Iran.
I know I am currently in Asia and I did literally fly over Iran and Afghanistan a few days ago to get to Singapore, but, FFS... No.

Is this murder illegal?

That's up to the murderer to decide.

Oh thanks for explaining it - I was genuinely confused (and assumed it was more likely a financial reason they’ve stipulated this rather than an active interest in suppressing tenants right to vote).

Labour would have been fine with Reform winning Gorton and Denton because they would have claimed it validated their anti-immigrant and anti-trans policies and doubled down. Very happy that the message was clear: You should have treated people with respect and basic decency.

I have loved the daily tism for a while now, but I have cause for my first complaint: why, oh why, would you voluntarily put this man’s face on my feed???!?!?

PSA to all people: hire women/ nbs!

(Evidence shows that if women are assertive they are perceived as aggressive; if they ask for too much they are pushy rather then ambitious. The onus shouldn’t be on women to change - the onus should be on all of us to check we aren’t applying double standards).

Little blond dude to a girl with cool blue hair: "I just find it unattractive when women-"
To which she replies by biting his head clean off and smiling serenely.

How does one regulate the sexual economy, I wonder?*

*silly answers only please, I am aware of the Nazi-esque ways to do this.

That discourse exists at all around what happened at the BAFTAs is evidence of how badly this has been handled. All parties involved deserve understanding and empathy, neither at the expense of the other. It should not have been broadcast, it should not have been allowed to become public debate.

This is the take. Davidson is not wrong to have a disability, and the actors are not wrong to felt hurt and harmed by hearing that word. But the tv producers are very wrong for taking the harm out of the room and humiliating them all further.

Types of OCD | OCD-UK

Here’s some information about intrusive thoughts and OCD in case it is helpful www.ocduk.org/ocd/types/

(Therapy helped me about 10,000% with this - would recommend!)

I am low key terrified about the day I get dementia/some other brain business that removes my ability to filter. But it won’t be β€˜revealing who I truly am’ - it will be that part of my brains not working right so I can’t convey who I truly am. (Ie a person who cares deeply about others).

Whilst I do not say awful things, my chaotic brain certainly has thoughts of all sorts. The prevailing idea in society that your thoughts betray who you truly are led me to develop quietly crippling OCD as I tried to β€˜destroy’ the thoughts.

i think what this comes from is a very toxic form of "mental health inclusivity" that essentially acts like the only mental illness people ever have is a mild depression and does not reckon with any of the actually difficult questions linked to actually difficult illnesses
