Ya-ya

I guess I must have looked perceptibly pained as I tried to communicate through fatigue and noise. At that point the receptionist asked if I was okay/struggling. I explained I was fatigued and struggling with the noise. She whisked me off into a quiet side room to wait for my appointment.

I was in outpatients for an appointment the other day. I was exhausted and (non-contagiously) ill. Outpatients that day was understandably loud and busy. The more fatigued I am the more sensitive to e.g. noise. It's also not on the NHS patients/staff that, fair enough, it was busy.

When people, esp women and femmes, warn each other about predators, society shames 'em by calling it 'Gossip.' It's a term that's fairly sexist in how it gets applied ime.

Also: when oppressed people speak up about oppression they experience, people w/ more power call it 'moaning.'

Something cool about people calling Mamdani a Communist is apparently the word 'Communist' just means whatever we feel like.

I look forward to when Your Party organise a piss-up in a brewery. I am confident they'll do a seamless job.

Tankies on the Left are so embarassing.

Can we resurrect Harold Wilson.

2025:

I feel like Captain Planet failed in his mission.

& separately, not as some whole answer, but because it's necessary, i believe in minority joy - if it can be summoned. (if i can't, no failing). in a society that wants minorities to disappear, or to exist silent & assimilated, minority joy becomes resistance, subversion, life...

i really liked that one aesthetically (one of my favourite things about black mirror is how visually pleasing some of the episodes are) but it really stressed me out! i <3 san junipero forever

i never finished that whole episode. but they're doing a sequel to uss callister this series!

as long as we don't have to live in the sequel (who knows, these days?) i'm ready for it

i'm (genuinely) looking forward to the new series of black mirror coming out this year, but also by this point just livestreaming the actual news would probably be fairly same/same

Shoutout to the early noughties when lesbian bars were still a thing, dating websites hadn't yet fully caught on in straight culture & swipe apps hadn't yet taken over.

We used the net to look at cats. We'd tell each other on MSN Messenger we'd BRB like we were low-key Terminators. Halcyon days.

i feel like people who didn't grow up in the 90s in the UK and never watched Fun House really missed out. Fun House is the kind of chaos i'm ready for, not *gestures at everything*
