Love to draw, but never seem to have time. Maybe not so neurotypical mother to a young adult with ASD she/her

@Jerseyxx @liveuk @ShappiKhorsandi Why are they undocumented? Do you think this could be because the government has refused to have a processing centre in France so applications could be done there? Then made it only possible to apply for asylum when you are "IN" the UK? So people have to get here before applying?

Happy Birthday @DLanceBlack! 🥳
Hope you are having a great day!

@LeftistsArTrash @mimmymum @inmyownfashion2 People used to say:

"Being neurodivergent is just a behavioural problem caused by bad parenting"
"Being gay is just a lifestyle choice, it's a biological impossibility"
"Left handedness is caused by being a devil worshipper"

This used to be considered "reality".

What is it with social media these days, you are reading something, get interrupted by someone, so you go out of that screen to do something (set a reminder/add to your calendar/ do a quick search for something) then return to Facebook/X/Instagram and it re-loads.. page gone.

@JdubAndrew @debbra_stolarik @piper4missouri @SlipperyPckle83 How about we vote for letting women chose what happens to their bodies?
Then, to reduce the termination of unwanted pregnancies, we charge men that ejaculate irresponsibly and impregnate without signed and witnessed permission to impregnate, with GBH (5 years prison).

@Moxybookworm @Mia_Libbey Please link research.

@Moxybookworm @Mia_Libbey Hi, English as a second language speaker here.
I'm a person, I have a cervix.
The phrase "people with a cervix should go for a smear test" is not remotely confusing.
Insisting the phrase "people with a cervix" would somehow exclude or confuse me... is confusing.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@David_Cameron Then why are you forcing asylum seekers to be IN the country before they can apply for asylum? Why haven’t you set up a processing centre in France?
Don’t want to be seen to be “helping them”, do you?
If you truly cared, they should get the same route-options as Ukrainians.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@ItsAndyRyan @Truthbomb_Queen @Trottydog @speakoutsister Apparently observations can be changed but things that are assigned have to be like that forever.
I don’t get it either, but this is their logic.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@wellsy13 @allstonecrop @goingrampant @KatyMontgomerie It’s funny how we keep “misunderstanding” what you are saying and that this is somehow “our” fault.

Must be because we are mere women, who can’t possibly understand the intricacies of biology. We clearly need to be protected from ourselves and told what to think. /s

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@wellsy13 @allstonecrop @goingrampant @KatyMontgomerie So you want to live in a world where people can have their sex observed at birth taken from them/alerted against their will, because a blood test said so?
How will this attempt at biological purity of the sexes going play out?
This feels dystopian to me.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@allstonecrop @RATWEDNESDAY Probably an operating system incompatibility (possibly fixable), but the way I draw, it’s not really an issue for me and my son has dyspraxia, so he is quite happy without pressure sensitivity. So I haven’t investigated further 😉. I like working on a screen though.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@wellsy13 @allstonecrop @goingrampant @KatyMontgomerie I used a personal anecdote to support what was said. (The thing you said didn’t happen, yet it happened to me)

If a group consistently uses certain language and insults and other members agree instead of calling it out. It’s fair to assume this is a group supported stand point.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@wellsy13 @allstonecrop @goingrampant @KatyMontgomerie I once disagreed with a GC and a man agreed with me and the GC was like: “You men always stand up for each other, you’re just misogynists”. So the fact they tried to insist I was a man had nothing to do with my biology and everything to do with the fact I disagreed with them

@PlingetheElder @justrena I’m glad that etiquette has been preserved around where I live. Look for the light in the window or a pumpkin lantern by the door and they will be a participating house.
Turns the whole thing into a fun treasure hunt and people that don’t want to participate, won’t be bothered.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@Pray_4Truth @DoomScroling The choice to have sex is not permission to be impregnated.
You want less abortions?
Force all men to have a reversible vasectomy and teach them to ejaculate responsibly.
If a man does get a woman pregnant without signed consent, he should be charged with endangerment.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@stephenpaton134 Wait… hang on.
She wants to ban puberty blockers for children? She wants to force 5yo girls to have periods?!

“sex change hormones” are the same hormones given at menopause. I believe trans people exist, so I’m not allowed them?!

She’s doing great “protecting women & girls”.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@virginmedia It’s a hub 3. Replaced only a few month ago (we’ve been having drop out issues ever since the hub was moved and a white box was removed because we “didn’t need that anymore”).

I don’t have any wired connections, so I can’t check if it’s only over the WiFi.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@virginmedia I’m having an issue with my broadband dropping out 10-30 times a day. I go to the app, go through the screens, get the option to “chat now” that doesn’t work or a phone number that sends me a link that takes me back through the same app screens. I’m stuck in a loop.

[Esther @FallingStar_1]

@virginmedia The lady on the phone told me to reboot the hub (again), then reset it (again) taking an hour because the hub takes over 20min. to start up. The drop outs became less frequent for a bit, but have started again. App tells me to reboot the hub again. Is that a fortnightly thing?
