Nutella in Gaza while I am boycotting Israel in Belgium REPLY

I watched an insta video of a teenager in Gaza having a chocolate crepe and in the comments is…someone else bitching about her not boycotting Nutella? Wild scenes

Inventum coffee maker circa the 1970s it has a delightful shape and appealing color palate of orange, yellow, umber and white and a pattern of flower stalks it doubtless makes undrinkable swill, but has rizz for days

look how far we've fallen

Handling: General considerations The cat is faster and has sharper teeth and nails than you do. It has no 'code of ethics' or considerations for its own future. In a fair fight it will win. 1. DON'T FIGHT A CAT 2. USE YOUR BRAIN 3. USE DRUGS

reminder

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

A ginger cat with a white chest and lower face sits politely on a stack of bags of kindling. It is posed in front of a shop window. You can see its back reflected in the glass. Small posters read “no dogs” and “under 25?”

New York has @bodegacats.bsky.social but my parents’ small town in Devon has Spar shop cats

A tabby and white cat peers down superciliously from on top of a Coca-Cola branded fridge in a bodega. The fridge is stocked with various tins of fizzy pop.

Only political polls I trust are the bookies odds, because those cunts HATE losing

Anyway big news in mirandaland: I silently lay in the grass with a piece of chicken for so long last night that my beloved fox felt safe enough to come and eat out of my hand. I also shared my cup of tea with her (I drank from the cup first, obvs)

Only realised how FUCKED that was today when I was writing an email to PALS making a complaint about that whole stay. So tired of writing my little complaints when the whole thing needs to just burn down

[ restraint / psych trauma ]

Last week a nurse at the hospital local to me took my glasses away while I was restrained during an autistic meltdown and said I was only allowed them back if I calmed down. Like…being unable to see anything (inc faces) is NOT going to help me calm down tbh.

If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain you should move to Ireland. It rains all the time here and you can just buy a premixed bottle of Piña Colada at Tesco and walk around by the canal taking a swig between showers. Idk why anyone would wanna do that, but I didn't write the song.

21 January 2026 Panic disorder Significance: Significant Status: Active

I have never had a panic attack in my life and YET here is another diagnosis that some random clinician at A&E who has seen me having an autistic meltdown saw fit to thrust upon me

I love when dogs are overflowing with joy and look back at their person like "Are you seeing this?? Are you seeing how great everything is??" ✨️

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

TOO MUCH SOUP IS A SLURPLUS

*immediately falls back into deep sleep*

A screenshot of a series of text messages. I can imagine a lot of things for you that you can’t I think you’re one of the brightest people I’ve ever met And hopefully we will find a way to support you using that insanely curious, witty and intelligent mind of yours You’re gifted X. But the world is not geared towards your way of being, that’s all. Sorry if that’s a lot and no need to reply. Just go relax xx

Imagine if the rest of the world saw me the way my best friend does. I am lucky that I get to hear these things while I am alive

I guess if the text had been sent like…yesterday, I would’ve arranged to be home and so it wouldn’t have been unannounced. I’ve taken PRN and closed the curtains and just have to cross fingers that after the Job Centre appt tomorrow this will all be sorted

Also not loving it that now everyone in the house knows I’m on UC, given that the landlord said she’d evict me if I became a “council tenant”

No idea! There’s an email address on the note they left so I’m going to make a complaint. Even if it didn’t cause this much distress, sending an appointment text AFTER the time of the appointment is ridiculous.

A text received at 15.34. An appointment has been made for you by DWP visiting on 14/01/2026 between 13.00 and 15.00. If you have any problems please call 0800…….

dwp showed up to my house unannounced today. I was out but they put a note through the door (or gave it to a housemate, not sure). Got this text *afterwards*. I wanted to go to aqua aerobics this eve but too scared to leave the house. Job Centre appointment tmrw morning

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”

“If you die, you let them off the hook.”

Needed this reminder today.

I’m on a camp bed in my old housemates’ sitting room. Their cat is thundering around upstairs. I have a cup of tea and the Christmas tree lights are still on. It feels good and warm and safe.

Tbf, if a rat crawled under my hat and started controlling me, I wouldn’t even care. Take the wheel, rat daddy

I told the mum and dad from Outnumbered (who were holding hands irl during a summer evening stroll) not to walk on the grass

please do not teach the goats italian

Anyway I’m not sure whether it’s the icy swim at the reservoir this morn or the generous dose of loraz afterwards, but this afternoon I have felt pretty on it!! I called my parents and my mum was like “wow, I haven’t heard you speak coherent sentences like this in months”
