Today is #NationalPetDay. Meet milla, my lifesaver, my constant shadow and the ruler of my bed. She wakes me up by barking right in my ear and walking on my head. And she licks my face when I cry. She's quirky and full of energy and attitude. I love this dog so much!

Wow the twitter app still works on my old iPod. My timeline is so much nicer here. None of the AI slop, just stuff from people I actually follow. 🙌🏻

Happy International Women’s Day!

In no particular order:
- men’s day is nov 19
- ⁠your feminism needs to extend past white women
- ⁠trans women are women
- ⁠disabled women experience misogyny differently, so learn and include
- ⁠always pee after sex

@LogicProXGaming In my home country guide dog schools don't teach blind handlers how to pick up after there dogs. I think it's disgraceful.

@blindandb0ujee @Christiane My nearest station is rarely staffed and because I need help after I get off the train I have to book in advance if I'm going anywhere from here. I hate it.

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

I should not have to set up a pin to access my messages on here. I miss the Twitter of 5 years ago! 😭

Milla's owner, 28-year-old Marilin from London, is blind and says PDSA has been a lifeline for her and her rescue dog 🐾

After Milla injured her paw, our team at New Cross PDSA supported them by adapting care with touch, a bell collar, and tailored medication to help Marilin.

People say, “I don’t need to read fiction.” You absolutely do. The world is currently being run by rich, antisocial, amoral men who have never opened a book, and you need only look around to see the damage it’s caused. Empathy & curiosity are vanishing because people don’t read.

@medible_mum Are these all different?

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

one thing i hate about AI bros is they named it AI to trick people into thinking it does the same things true artificial intelligence does in movies. AI isn’t even AI, it’s an advanced autocorrect word-guesser and image-jumbler that they want you to become dumb enough to rely on

My beautiful Milla has had surgery on both knees this year. The recovery was anything but fun but we made it through and she is so much happier and more confident in her walking. The vet team at @PDSA_HQ were phenomenal and did brilliantly, couldn't have done it without them.

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

@medible_mum Are you doing any Christmas boxes this year?

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

@devinprater Thanks! Hugs

I have 3 days left of a prescription from the mental health team and my care coordinator isn't replying. If they leave me without medication again I'm not sure I can cope with my brain.

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

@Infosifter I tried that last time when they left me without for 5 days. But as it's not on my repeat list the pharmacy or 111 can't do anything. I appreciate the good wishes!

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

@monzo After an email conversation I was told that they couldn't help with my verification as I couldn't take a good enough photo holding my ID next to my face. This is such an inaccessible process for someone who can't see and to not have an alternative is rather frustrating.

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

Hi @monzo I'm trying to sign into my account on a new phone and having huge trouble with the verification video because I'm blind. I can't access chat to ask for help either. Any advice much appreciated.

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

@monzo I can't access the chat as it's not fully logged me in and the "get in touch" option only goes to a series of automated questions. Thanks for the email, I will try that.

[Marilin @BirdOfFlower]

This happened to a friend today. Twice in a row her food didn't arrive. Disgraceful.

[The Cassandra Centre @CassandraCentre]

Hello @JustEatUK we just ordered £57 worth of food for one of our clients as she had none. You have told us it’s been delivered when it hasn’t and your chat bot basically said “nothing we can do”. Please tell me how you will rectify this? You are impossible to contact to complain
