I always found my #cats pretty easy to understand….

@AutisticCoach_ It’s worse in winter - I think coming from cold, damp air outside into warm, dry air inside sets it off; but also, stress, insomnia, dehydration, worry, tiredness and wearing the wrong clothes makes it worse.

@grumpyshrubbery Seconded. I want someone to keep applying layers of weighted blankets to me until I’m struggling to inhale properly.

@ShelaghFogarty My uncle once fired a rifle at my father for a “joke” — but my uncle was a thoroughly unpleasant individual.

@autismsupsoc I can read it fairly easily - my brain doesn’t like the words beginning with b or p but aside from that, it wasn’t especially difficult.

I wonder what the overlap is with people who can read this and people who can mirror-write?

BREAKING🚨| The government has announced anti-strike legislation.

When workers democratically vote to strike, they can be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. This is wrong, unworkable, and almost certainly illegal.

@AutSciPerson And this is his brother, Tau. Tau loves a cradle cuddle but is also a massive hooligan and (lovable) pain in the arse. Tau could cause chaos alone in an empty room. He regularly breaks expensive items & upsets his brother with surprise “attacks”.
Tau is a git. I love him.

@AutSciPerson This is Penfold - the sweetest, gentlest, loving cat. There is *no way* he’d allow cradles. He didn’t even allow lap cuddles for 11yrs but he gives the best head boops & lap-adjacent love. I would have missed out hugely by disregarding him based on whether he’d cradle

@AutisticCallum_ I have lived in this house for nearly 4 years but still bump into the doorframes… not sure how I manage it so consistently.

TERFs are imagining that cis men will live as a woman for 3 whole months to get a certificate that let's them bypass imaginary security into womens' bathrooms just to harm women when men already harm women in any location they want without consequence

@phiu_official @AndyHaskell2013 @autismsupsoc It’s a great, light-hearted book. There’s also All Dogs Have ADHD

@hardboiledleggs @Finding_Lucien @the_tweedy My cat lost a leg @ 13yo & adapted fine to being a tripod. The only thing he struggled with was getting on the kitchen surfaces. Age 15, his thyroid started giving up but he lived happily until 17 when his kidneys stopped working. Loved that boy. Absolute legend.

These two are so outrageously handsome. It shouldn’t be allowed.

People devastated when people die by suicide but never devastated or that bothered by someone struggling every single day and for years with depression and suicidal thoughts.

It’s always the consequences never the cause every day.

[TheLastStoic @LastStoic84]

Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

[TheLastStoic @LastStoic84]

Cats > humans.

Multi-cat cuddles warm my cockles on this #freezing night.

@chronicallybeee A piercer told me this recipe & it’s never failed me:
Make a cup of camomile tea.
+ 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
+ 3 drops lemongrass/tea tree oil

Use warm teabag as compress morning and night. Most infections clear up in a few days.

People aren't waiting 40 hours for an ambulance because of industrial action by the RCN. They're waiting 40 hours for an ambulance because the Tories are underfunding the NHS.
