If only he’d known then how much money his mum was willing to spend to protect him. Shoulda just asked her earlier.
Andrew, staring bleakly at his lack of options…
His white male privilege
His being a literal prince
His mother the millionaire empress
His brother the future king
His creep island rapist sick fuck mate
Do you see how cornered he was?

Misread this as the defecation of Suella Braverman, and frankly, either word works here.
The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

My burnout featured my body throwing everything at me to try to get me to listen and stop. Pushing through new pain, nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, fatigue, severe Raynaud’s, brain fog, parathesia, dissociative events causing moments of paralysis & scarily high blood pressure.
#Burnout with #chronicillness isn’t a phase to push through.
It’s often a pattern created by ongoing demands, limited energy, and systems that weren’t built for fluctuating capacity.
In this post, I share what I understand about burnout and what actually helps long-term.

I know a family whose new born died from measles. Yet they STILL wouldn’t vaccinate their other child. I don’t know how you reach someone who is so deep down the rabbit hole.

Our 7 month old kitten, struggling a bit with coordination after his general anaesthetic. He doesn’t get sleepy, just hyperactive with zero control over his limbs. This is the calmest he was in the hours after coming home from the vet.

After the Pelicot case I knew we’d see many more of these assaults. There’s a subset of men who’ll stop at nothing to feed their sick fantasies and desire to exert control over women.

One of the worst things about chronic pain is lying in bed freezing because you have several ice packs on your body. No amount of blankets keep you warm when the chill is coming from inside the bed. 🥶 #painmanagement #chronicpain

The Reform Council in Worcestershire wants to ban trans people. In news that will surprise no one, it hasn't thought things through very well. So we've written to it to say, 'if you continue down this path we will sue.'

Thank goodness for Trump ‘protecting women’ by shooting unarmed women in the face, kidnapping the mothers of dying teenagers and snatching helpless little five year olds.

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

At the point between Christmas Day and NYE where the only fruit I’m eating comes from jars where it has been soaked in alcohol, presumably rendering any nutritional value defunct. Hoping a kind nutritionist out there can reassure me I’m still getting my five-a-day.
