@Brocklesnitch I’d learned from the first one to give myself the day off afterwards and allow all snacks, trashy tv and long naps without guilt. As such the ‘whole day experience’ really didn’t turn out too horribly on balance. Hope it goes well! Be kind to yourself!
@Brocklesnitch I took some codeine and ibuprofen and then tried to forcibly make myself relax using some meditation techniques. It was briefly uncomfortable in the room, with a bit of a sharp pain but then it was done. Done, for years. Out of the way. And that makes you feel instant relief.
they said it couldn’t be done. they said it shouldn’t be done. once it was done, they said “goddammit this sucks”
yes, it’s “Chop Suey” in the style of the B-52s
There is no justification for the ongoing massacre of innocent Palestinians. I struggle to fathom how anyone could defend the bombing of a refugee camp. We cannot sit idly by whilst our government helps to fund these war crimes. We must call for a ceasefire now.
2.3 million human beings are denied the basic necessities of life with the full backing of the US and Europe, the purported champions of human rights and Intl law. Such an astonishing display of cruelty and inhumanity.
@BrandonLBradfor Just got back. Travel around as much as possible. Each area has a different vibe and internal flights are cheap and easy. Spend some time in Chiang Mai and the north (and EAT there - the food is amazing). In the south Krabi is beautiful - in particular the beaches at Railay.
The constant assault on trans people by the UK press is abhorrent. It must feel both infuriating and terrifying to live here as a trans person. I stand in love and solidarity with you all.
GC activists like to claim they’re not anti-trans, yet here they are threatening the Samaritans because they highlighted the high suicide rate among trans people. This has nothing to do with the safety of women and girls and everything to do with intolerance.
A rich man’s budget that’ll push our country to the brink.
A cost-of-living crisis that forces millions into misery.
It’s time to say #EnoughIsEnough

And yes as a former Blue Peter fan, I am deeply saddened that Konnie Huq reads/actively supports virulently transphobic materials. Honestly couple that with Richard Bacon's weird Heard/Depp content and that little Blue Boat is starting to look preeeeeety hostile.
Transphobia = Bigotry and small-mindedness, re-branded as logic/common sense. You're not 'saying it how it is', you're indulging your worst instincts re. a marginalised group. It feels reasonable because you are supporting your own biases - a folk devil doesn't require sympathy.
Hey boy, are you the new Tory budget?
Cause you came quicker than expected, and you're smaller than most - but you've somehow still managed to fuck absolutely everyone I know.
