I just learned that Benedict Cumberbatch's dad is called Timothy Carlton Congdon Cumberbatch. As someone with a funny, double-barrelled surname I feel ok about laughing hysterically at this 😭
Trauma is a strange beast; it's obstructive and destructive, but it's also a part of me. It's my pre-lingual inner child who can't distinguish between the past and the present, and who can't be spoken to or reasoned with.
Maybe Open AI could expand ChatGPT's vocab so that online product listings don't always begin with "Elevate your...[lifestyle/wardrobe/personality - delete as appropriate]" But I spose that would make it harder to spot AI text, which would mean I'd end up believing what it said😱
To get mental health support you have to be either needing hospital admission or have a simple mental health issue that can be treated quickly in 6-8 weeks, if you fall in middle - the ''too complex for therapy but not severe enough for inpatient'' group - you get f all help

This just makes me feel sick; everything we said was happening back then *was* happening, but the moderats just gaslit us while they worked to destroy socialism within the Labour Party. Nice one, dickweeds https://t.co/rmQLWO1SIQ
@zoesqwilliams I think you've created a new term for posh; Plentifully Endowed with Social Capital' = pesc, eg. "pesci parents are properly weird" https://t.co/jQ5PNS7GbG
Devastated to hear that Lily Allen gave her dog back to the home b/c it ate her passport. Dogs misbehave when they're bored, so the problem is the owners, not the dog. Would Lily give a child away because it was bad? Pets are for life, not just for as long as they're good #PETA
Dr: Do you exercise?
Me: No
Dr: You should
Me: Focusing on my body triggers a freeze response
Dr: I know it's hard and you may not feel like it but exercise helps your mood.
Do medics privately think mental illness isn't real? To treat me as if I merely lack discipline 1/2
@AssocPhoto you picked one woman finalist. One. Unless there was only one female entrant, your judging panel was horrendously sexist. https://t.co/cGkmi0AMzm
@USAmbJapan And yet you are boycotting the Nagasaki ceremony? You *represent the country that bombed Nagasaki* and you think you can snub them like that?! The arrogance of your stance is mind-boggling.
The cowardice of Starmer and his Labour Party in not calling out the racism behind the riots is sickening. Same goes for the BBC and the rest of the media. They're not 'protests' or 'legitimate concerns', it's simply racism, and you never pander to it.
