Another reminder: I have it set so people I don’t follow can’t reply for a very good reason right now. I’m in autistic burnout and interactions are very difficult for me. Anyone circumventing that because they really feel I need to read their opinion on something I posted will be blocked immediately
Steroid injection in the hip: a 2 on the Black Pain Index, my index of most to least painful things. Slightly less painful than picking up a pointy screw, slightly more painful than accidentally banging your shoulder on a wall. Can’t believe I worried it’d be painful.

Trying to imagine what kind of loser you’d have to be to watch or listen to Diary of A CEO. Do you not get enough of the dumbest rich people lying to you day to day without actively seeking more of it out? As my dad says: thicker than a Boxing Day shite

Eugh. Off for a steroid injection in my hip. Followed by a full day of sitting down not moving whilst it takes effect

Uh-oh.

For anyone who’s known me since the early days on Twitter, I’m about to make you feel super old, I’m sorry, but it was 13 years ago today that I broke my leg.

passport: approved! it's taken almost 10 years to hit this point and a frankly baffling amount of money. we will be celebrating this victory, and never forget: abolish the home office
what's it like inside your head?

Yes! Got my access to work grant approved. I’ll get 5 hours per week help with the things that I really struggle with with my job and some coaching :)

Let’s hope this bodes well for next week’s PIP tribunal which has currently consumed 80% of my waking hours for the last 6 months

Sometimes people ask why I have conservative friends, and that’s because the job I have I mix with them, but also that historically with almost all of them their conservatism hasn’t survived our friendship, and as a disabled trans lesbian with an immigrant partner, no one’s more woke than an ex tory

This is kind of the point of AI, not to make you believe AI is real, but to disbelieve the real (and not just the Lacanian notion of the real *smug New Yorker reader laugh*)
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

If I ever die in tragic circumstances, I would very much like you first thought, and the thing you write under the post where you find out about it “ooh, she won’t have liked that”

Spent a top afternoon in the local library in Stourbridge. What a rare pleasure to be surrounded by ideas and opinions and have many of them be well-written, well-researched, and here’s the fun bit, NOT SCREAMING AND WHINING AND TRYING TO USE AI TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR LACK OF LOVE

Warm and cosy, too!

Just thinking, Predator is the only fiction movie to have two US Governors in the main cast.

Schwarzenegger was Governor of California and Jesse The Body Ventura was Governor of Minnesota
