Ok so I’m making the move to bluer skies. At some point in the next week or so I’ll start unfollowing accounts here that I’ve found there. Linktree on my profile. Eventually I’ll delete this account totally. Pity I can’t delete my other old account I lost access to :(

@adamfare1996 Ive heard and often flat out told medics suggesting it like it’s a panacea that it’s contraindicated for autistics (and probably adhd), we already overanalyse everything and have already looked at all the options. So that’s my get out of mindfulness card.

Starmer: "The Leader of the Opposition has been an MP for eight years... I can't recall her once raising this issue [child sexual abuse]."

Badenoch: "As a minister, I would not have been speaking on this specific issue."

Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families.

This batch of my Victorian ink bottle tiny posy kits have sold out. I never would have guessed my kits would be so popular-making a tiny flower arrangement in an old bottle is arguably niche.

If you missed out this time don't worry,I've found more beautiful blues, greens & aquas

Andrew Norfolk broke the grooming gang story, 15 years ago. His exclusive interview on today’s @TheNewsAgents is deeply powerful, not least for his anger about those political figures now exploiting it and the victims for their own purposes.

@ADHDForReal @JulieStuart19 They do mention that you might get angry as side effect. They don’t tell you this is why.

The WHO is recommending, right now in 2025, to wear a mask in crowded areas to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
So it’s not why am I wearing a mask when I’m in the supermarket, it’s why aren’t you?
PS Waitrose this a.m., cashier hacking up a lung, no masks anywhere obviously!

If 100 people get bird flu, it’s estimated that more than half won’t survive. To say it is significantly deadlier than COVID is an understatement.

@tillytog01 @spoonfulofhan You know you’re right? I get no support for being disabled, but as a carer for my disabled kids it’s like joining a club with day trips and nice wee craft meet ups etc. not that I go to any, but busy being a full time carer.
