I've removed BlueSky from my phone apps. It's far too tempting to just doomscroll, and there's far too much doom for me at the moment.

There's nothing I can do about what's going on in the world anyway so I'm better off not getting involved.

Nature, Pinterest and books for me. Won't on here much.

None of us make it out alive.

I've very close to adding to this statistic. It's pointless.

I've lost all faith in people too. The world is a bin fire so I'm just looking after my closest from now on. There's too much hate and cynicism everywhere else and I no longer have the energy to hope it will get better. Experience shows us that it won't, and it's naive to think otherwise.

It's a sad day

Fuck off

As an autistic person, I don't always agree with the last statement.

Only speaking for myself. I'm sure other autistic people disagree.

I'm still playing WoW. It's been on Blizzard's launcher for ages now but I can't justify £60 for a game I might not enjoy.

Glad to see people do like it though. Maybe when I'm not so poor. Dunno.

Gender equality doesn’t just 'happen.'

Women’s rights must be fought for and protected.

Our responsibility is clear.

To lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all.

Not just today, but every single day.

#InternationalWomensDay

Maybe instead of talking about it and explaining why it's happening, to make themselves look intelligent, they should be actually stopping it happening.

Hazy days with layers.

It is only in the past few years that awareness of autistic and ADHD girls and women has increased. The idea that girls/women are not autistic or ADHD prevented many being diagnosed and supported.

On this International Women’s Day let us remember our autistic sisters who have been misdiagnosed and marginalised.

Autistic Women should never be ignored again.

I don't socialise at all anymore. I gave it up last year and decided that I no longer have the energy for coffee meetings etc. The only person I spend time with is my partner, otherwise I'm alone. It makes me sad but the alternative is feeling drained, anxious and stressed.

I can't relate to it, but I'm not dismissing anyone else's experience and choice to be non binary. It's up to the person & how they feel.

I've always felt like a boy, and later a man. I embrace parts of myself that would be described as feminine traits, and I'm not a fan of gender stereotypes.

Sold my car last year to cut finances, and I don't miss it at all. Many drivers are arseholes.

Beautiful photo.

I'm waiting for a maga flat earther to say it's fake because they can't see the american flag.

There's a name for everything. I've been part of Discord groups over the last couple of years but they're not really my thing, and I always end up feeling ignored or not part of the group. Part of being autistic.

I just had to google that. Never heard the term before.

It all feels pretty pointless anyway tbh.

I'm trying that, but they won't even send it through.

Unfortunately not. I'm not officially diagnosed and it's proving impossible to get my GP to refer me. Pointless until I get that.

They don't know what anything is.

CW: talking about weight loss, food, calories

Even when working with a medical professional who is highly knowledgeable, the process of cutting and bulking carries real risks. Particularly if done excessively or with an overly focused mindset on body composition rather than overall health. 🧵

@sorenable.bsky.social Thank you so much for posting about body building and the risks of body dysmorphia and metabolic damage.

I'm a PT and I don't work with clients who want to do this. It's a toxic and damaging culture.

Flight Attendant: “IS THERE A DOCTOR ON BOARD?!"
Me: “I have a doctorate in Philosophy."
Flight Attendant: “THE PILOT IS GOING TO DIE!"
Me [soothingly]: “We're all going to die.”

Therapy was tough today. Next session in 2 weeks is going to be hard. 😔

The women would have to organise it for the men who say this, along with the rest of their appointments and events.

You'd only have to check their internet search history to know the answer to that.
