On the list of things that suck about being disabled…

I don’t have words for how much everyone in the UK who saw Donald Trump tell us to fuck off because he had won this war without us and didn’t want people who just turned up after it was already won, wants Keir Starmer to tell him to fuck right off in return now he’s begging for help with the Strait.

Oh, I’m a zebra, technically. Maybe that’s why I need to see a unicorn doctor…

Am I the only person to refer to doctors who listen to and believe chronic illness patients as “unicorn doctors” btw? I’m not quite sure whether this is a general term or a me-ism.

I’m sure if a random Jewish person or five in America just wrote to Netanyahu, they could get all this genocidal nonsense stopped in an instant, yeah?

Ffs, even if every.single.Jewish person in the US said they objected, Netanyahu’s response would be “this is supposed to matter to me, why?”

A lot of people are mad about this and calling it 'self interested' and I dunno man if the point of activism isn't to get people to change their minds what are we doing here?

Be more Spain.

Good gods, you didn’t go round telling the *truth* about him, did you? That’s *cheating*…or derailing, or however they want to excuse themselves this time,

You didn’t need to have the word “media” in your first sentence…

Zack Polanski stole my teddy bear. I was only 31; what sort of evil man does that to an innocent 31 year old?

Yours too???

And if you’re a Black girl you need both…

I’m always so helpful :)

Genuinely, I hope it buggers off soon, whatever it is…

Or is it some new and exciting illness?
(Sorry, this is always my “favourite” game with new symptoms- is it because of something I already have, a new medication, or something new occurring. So much fun for all the family…)

Can I just point out how clever it is for a “totally decapitated” nation to be fucking up the entire world economy? I can’t help feeling if someone cut my head off, I wouldn’t be able to manage all that much. Shall we test on Trump?
(If you can’t tell this is a joke, I despair, any moderation team.)

?!?

Exactly my feelings, especially in an illegal war.

Ive seen some matches involving Spurs do that lately…

He absolutely said he didn’t want any help from the UK now they’d already won…

LibDems are meeting for their spring conference in York with some major policy announcements on right to jury trials, the independence of the BBC, Trump, Iran etc. now will our 3rd largest party at Westminster see any coverage? Yet the broadcasters now take every weekly reform press conference live.

…the parachutes had been removed. Seriously?

Ffs. Money for bombs, but not for fucking *parachutes*?

"I just know," said Trillian. "You expect me to believe that you are bright enough to invent something that brilliant and be too dumb to realize it would take you with it as well? That's not just stupid, that is spectacularly obtuse."

Oh, *now* Trump wants help from other countries? Now he’s fucked everything up?

I should add, for the absence of any bluesky doubt, that regretful mums are, by & large, no more bad mums any more than any others, I believe. But I’m not sure the very Right-wing men would see if the same way - plus, the decision to have the kid or not very much affects their life!

Odd, though. When I write bios, despite the fact it’s the best thing I’ve ever done, I neverthink to mention it. ”Writes books” “has cats” “obnoxiously woke” “multiply disabled - sure, any of these. But. Idk, maybe it’s not being a woman, it doesn’t occur to me. It just never feels relevant.

And it has been so much more fun and joyful and enjoyable than I ever thought it would be, and it turns out that being able to remember exactly what it’s like to be a kid means that my son saw me as basically “growing up alongside me,” as he put it. But he was also the easiest child you could have.

Me, I was so negative about having a kid my spouse couldn’t understand why I wanted to have one anyway. I knew it would be difficult as fuck & assumed I’d be crap at it. I never expected to enjoy every second, which is fortunate cos I haven’t.
But I’m lucky that I’ve never had a moment’s regret.

Seriously, I’m glad women are able to talk about their regrets safely somewhere that they won’t be judged for them. So many women of a certain age felt obliged to have kids; it was just What You Did. Then others were sold the ‘perfect life’ image. And always women are expected to love every second.

'A trap you can't escape': The women who regret being mothers From mourning the life they no longer have to feeling never-ending pressure, women tell the BBC why they regret becoming mothers.

5-14% regret rate. We ought to stop women having babies until we’ve done a study into it, given it’s a much higher regret rate than transition & also affects a child’s life…

Did window pies ever exist in real life, anyway? Because, idk, maybe it’s just me because I know I have a bit of a thing about it, but I’d be paranoid about ending up with a fly pie* if I left it out there to cool without something over it to protect it.

*other, non-rhyming, insects also exist
