okay ill let it slide because youd say if it was ending or just not answer this
from big finish vortex 199 FORWARD PURCHASING I would like to purchase the Torchwood releases for next year as I have with the other Big Finish ranges, but they are not yet listed on the website. I prefer to purchase in advance as this helps me to keep track of my finances. - Ralph Bonnett Nick: Productions are typically put up for pre-order once they've had a press release, Ralph. When the press releases for Torchwood have been approved and the announcement has been made, next year's Torchwoods will be up for pre-order. Apologies for the delay.

oh
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who also experience alexithymia may frequently feel as though others are angry, even when this is not the case. This difficulty in accurately interpreting others' emotions, particularly negative ones like anger, is a significant challenge in social interaction for many autistic individuals with co-occurring alexithymia.

today is severe/very severe ME (awareness) day. i have every intention of writing a blog post to share but i’m not convinced it’ll happen bc of energy levels. so in the meantime, have the message i wrote for our server.
#pwME #NEISVoid
hello friends. today is severe/very severe ME day. roughly 25% of people with ME (pwME) have severe or very severe ME and are bed-/housebound. today is about raising visibility of those of us who are too often hidden away because we are too ill to participate in the world outside our bed. many people with severe/very severe ME (pwSME) are unable to tolerate light, sound, or human interaction - because otherwise it would cause decline - and are left isolated and lonely. many are left without proper (or any) medical care, because they are unable to leave their house or even talk on the phone/video call to access telehealth services. pwSME are often unable to care for themself, relying on carers or family to help them just get through basic tasks of each day (e.g. food & drink & using the toilet); and for those who don't have any available help, going without & ending up more ill from necessary tasks. for those who have very severe ME, they might spend years in pitch black silence, because any noise or light is intolerable & will cause severe symptom flares. they don't have the energy to move, to talk, barely even to think. for some, simply thinking too much can cause decline. there is no consistent treatment, there is no cure, and for many there will be no change in their existence for years to come. pwSME find that they can't even express their emotions around being so ill - any strong emotional response can lead to an exacerbation of symptoms and even a permanent worsening. we don't have the energy to even grieve the life we have lost.

i have discovered the raccoon reaction images and i may never connect to something more.

example:
a racoon with its eyes shut, with a faded version of itself in the background (in the style of 80s portrait photography) text reads: Today I will not overthink. i simply will not think at all

this disability pride month i’m thinking about this quote - about the 504 sit ins (featured in Crip Camp) - from Corbett O’Toole
We succeeded because we did not do it the nondisabled way. Our success came directly from the skills we'd learned in order to survive as disabled people (O'Toole, 60-61).

thinking about this quote a lot recently.
Tom Irwin: The truth was, in 1914, Germany doesn't want war. Yeah, there's an arms race, but it's Britain who's leading it. So, why does no one admit this? [approaching a war memorial] Tom Irwin: That's why. The dead. The body count. We don't like to admit the war was even partly our fault cos so many of our people died. And all the mourning's veiled the truth. It's not "lest we forget", it's "lest we remember". That's what all this is about - the memorials, the Cenotaph, the two minutes' silence-. Because there is no better way of forgetting something than by commemorating it.
