As the year draws to a close, I would like to thank all the people in my life.
This year was an incredibly difficult one, and having to adjust to my increasing disability has been very challenging at times.
Having people who understand and support what I want to achieve, has been truly wonderful.

After much fiddling around with the Dell website, it appears that this server's BIOS hasn't been updated for the last 10 years.
It's going to require multiple BIOS updates because it's too old to upgrade to the latest one straight away.
Oh bloody hell...

The time is 8:19am. I'm performing some final upgrades to the QLR server and I've just discovered it needs a bloody BIOS update.
Kill me.

I've been looking round Preston. Things get pretty grim in parts if you look closer.

Meanwhile, Badenoch's proposal to fix the economy is to redefine how poverty is measured.
Absolute poverty should not be a requirement to need the state's financial assistance.
Badenoch's shitty Machiavellianism strikes again. She conveniently misses out we still have to pay a landlord rent.

I knew it! My Anglepoise is stealing my chocolate from the fridge at night!
She keeps demanding more and more of these vintage lightbulbs, resorting to 15W signage bulbs, yet it's STILL not enough for her.
I swear if she goes for the pierogi...
Help! What do I do to make my Anglepoise behave?!

Nope, still not close enough to Christmas to go in the Christmas Markets.
The Christmas Season™ starts on December 1st. Anything before that is illegitimate.
Call me a Christmas hardliner but I ain't having a soft Christmas.

On the slightly less funny side, the brainless jackass who defaced this lovely artwork to write "House" on the building.
Whatever views you have on grattifi, I think we can all agree this is an example of vandalism.

Helpful protip: Both travelators at Manchester Piccadilly Platform 13 & 14 have now been cordoned off, and you have to go round them.
This has resulted in some very confused seasoned commuters walking straight into the cordon.
It's actually quite funny to watch.

This is how The Sun has reported on the 2025 budget. It's deeply upsetting.
There's several cuts included in the budget, while 30% of children grow up in poverty, and 33% claim in-work, but Murdoch doesn't care about any of that.
He only cares about how much profit he can get from human suffering.

This concludes my opinions on Budget Day 2025 so far.
ℹ️ One of the issues I face as a journalist, is due to the way Substack operates, as it doesn't really allow for smaller articles about these events.
🌈 I'm aiming for a fantastic reading experience on QLR. It's about a week away. I'm excited.

Well this is interesting.
I'm currently working on the website but have noticed the DWP has refused to answer my question.
This is a cop-out answer as the DWP has escaped accountability here, as who knows when these statistics will get released.
I'll repeat my question to the letter of the law.

I am very close to finishing the Queer Love Riot website, and I am looking at exploring local history, and would love to go into the archives, and talk to more local people about all the things that have happened in Wythenshawe.
Here's a sneak peak at what the website looks like now. Not much left!

If you ever see something like this out on the streets please remove it if it safe and practical to do so.
This sticker was placed to threaten the local migrant community in Preston. I am emotionally impacted by this shit.
Hate only serves to intimidate.

I really want to support Mozilla and the open web. But @mozilla.org, you make it so incredibly difficult to do so when I am getting AI forcibly pushed on me by Firefox.
I know that I can disable this in the sidebar, but for fuck's sake, Mozilla should know better than forcing AI down our throats.

Oh god the Christmas Markets are now here in Manchester.
Prepare yourselves for an onslaught of tourists. I'll have to review them at some point when they're not absolutely swamped. 🤣
The last few years have been disappointing so let's hope that this year they're a bit better.
