Just a random person. I love to read, mostly horror. Fearless (mostly) DIY-er. Part geek, part nerd, and part unquantifiable.

Reading is seeing a boom in escape room tourism, after the town's Deadlocked Escape Rooms was named the best in the UK.

The Reading Witch Story was victorious in the Top Escape Rooms Project Choice Award.

Co-owners Charlie Bond and James Hamer-Morton spoke to That's TV.

Hey @WhatsApp - friends wanted to move our chat to your app (leaving X), so I downloaded and added them to a group chat using their phone #s (they are already users)…account immediately suspended? What the heck?!

@TheDrugMoney Adjustable height desk from IKEA. They have a model that goes down to I think 22 inches, so I can get it the correct height for me (5’4”). Much more comfortable to sit at!

@fpaulwilson I’m sorry to hear that. It’s near impossible to get any help from them. I never went back after they disabled my account in 2020. It was painful, but probably for the best.

@JohanKok1 @jsm2334 It’s been studied quite a bit, with large enough sample sizes to be statistically sound, and no link. His was not an “unexpected result” that went against norms, it was flat out data fabrication presented as legitimate. Debunking is for fraud, not unexpected legitimate results.

@JohanKok1 @jsm2334 He had a financial interest in casting doubt on the MMR vaccine, and it was a report on about a dozen kids. Those 2 points alone should be ringing alarm bells even if you want to ignore the fact extensive debunking by Brian Deer (free to read)

@BadMedicalTakes Not to mention there are currently no mRNA flu shots available. They don’t make any.

Thoughts and Prayers are covered but we require brand-name with DAW-9.
We will only cover two (2) days of thoughts and prayers without a prior authorization.
Support is step therapy (failing thoughts and prayers) and will require a prior authorization.
After 2 fills of Thoughts and Prayers, we require family to use Mail Order for continued coverage of Thoughts and Prayers

@theangrypharm “Isn’t that your job to tell the insurance company what I’m taking” . Yes. We do that by billing the prescription as written. That’s how they know what you are taking, and the way we tell them you have a higher dose is with a new prescription that says exactly that.

@KJHansonAuthor @sinist3rgore I had to scroll waaaaay too far down to see this mentioned. Messed me up for weeks. I usually prefer books but couldn’t even consider reading the source book after watching the movie, that was plenty disturbing.

@ArtimusLeton @davidfrum @US_FDA Supplements are specifically exempt from FDA review. You can thank Congress for that. FDA has no say in their existence.

@jtrebach I have a strict size limit of 4 Fresca cans on impulse buys unless I’ve already measured the space I’m buying for 😄

My support cupcakes and awesome boyfriend (from afar, unfortunately) are keeping me sane today. This is stressful 🤣

[Williamsem @williamsem]

@TraumaSoapBoxes Voted early, emotional support cupcakes on hand and ready… 😄

[Williamsem @williamsem]

@JeffStrand I’ve heard we have settled on “nauseously optimistic” as the description, which seems accurate enough. As long as I can eat my emotional support cupcakes…😄

[Williamsem @williamsem]

@mxmclain Top tier adulting right there! I voted and picked up some emotional support cupcakes for today 🙂

@CherStrong0 @AlastairMcA30 This vaccine heavily relies on not having any previous exposure/infection by the strains included. That likelihood decreases with age. A rec like that would also need to be supported by data showing benefit, which we don’t yet have.

[Williamsem @williamsem]

@acweyand I bought a 6 pack of emotional support cupcakes last night when I picked up dinner ingredients. Had 2 so far 😄
