Underline a few words so they know you really mean business.

It’s factory farming, if anyone is wondering.

We were on talktalk for over a decade, at least they allowed me to access the mullvad website and dns. We moved to virgin media earlier this year and I can only access the mullvad site via tor now. Can’t access the dns at all. I was always trash-talking talktalk when we were using them, but man, virgin is way worse :(

Action on empty homes has breakdowns:

Long-term empty homes

To be classed as ‘long-term empty’ a home has to be liable for council tax and to have been unfurnished and not lived in for over 6 months. This figure is increasing all the time, but as at October 2025, it was 303,143 - a rise of 14% on 2024 and over 50% up on 2016 - the year after the last national Empty Homes Programme ended.

Thank you. Well I just got a message saying the doctor can’t make it. Typical. I should have seen this coming 😪 Sometimes it feels like the universe is telling me something.

just needs a clown wig.

Thank you! The one I picked had good reviews. But I’m still freaking out. I had to book it in the morning as I need to use the autism centre so I can have some privacy and all they could offer was 9am, so I’m sure I’m going to have no sleep tonight. I am not a morning person.

My nephew was obsessed with vacuums when he was little. There was a kid on YouTube called NumaticRules (he must be in his late teens or early 20s now though) who had a massive collection of Numatics and now I want these two to battle it out. Or just nerd out, either will do.

Edit: there was also a channel we watched called VacSock who used to film himself vacuuming socks, but now i’m starting to wonder if he was an innocent vacuum enthusiast or if it wasn’t some kind of fetish content 😅

Oh I think you misunderstood. I meant the bit about the crappy diagnoses, I have enough imposter syndrome as it is.

For sure. I would have preferred an NHS face to face one, but they were making me jump through so many hoops (in the end I had to submit a 5 page report on why I think I’m autistic) that my GP said just go for right to choose.

So I’m glad I have the option, but I would also prefer more investment in NHS AND better training, because my own experiences with NHS mental health are pretty bad (see my above reply).

I first asked for a referral in 2016. Was told I got my autism referral, but I was just referred to the local mental health services. First psychologist said I sound like I have Aspergers (as it was then) but she can’t diagnose. I got called for another appointment and was told by the second doctor that I can’t have Aspergers because I know what “what’s up” means. She also put a load of lies in my write up and diagnosed me anxiety disorder NOS and tried to push SSRIs on me. The moment I said Aspergers (neither of the doctors even knew I was seeking an assessment), she got antagonistic. “Why now? Why now? Yes but why now?” My mum was with me and she said it was obvious from the start that doctor didn’t want to send me for testing.

So that’s why it took me another 8 years to try again and mostly because I had a really good phobia therapist at the time who pushed me to try again. Ironically, my phobia therapist knew more about neurodivergence than my anxiety therapist, who outright said, “I don’t know anything about autism and I’m not here for that.” And she meant it.

So yeah mental health services in England suck. My uncle died while sectioned.

Deleted: replied to wrong message.

Oh no don’t say that! I have my assessment under right to choose on Thursday and I’m already worried!

I had to wait 18 months just for my GP to refer me. I spent 3x as long waiting for a referral as I did on the actual waiting list. If I did it via the NHS, it would have been another 18 months on top of that 18 months.

My budgie was married to Matilda.

He hated new bird toys, but he loved Matilda. He loved scratching his head on her spikes lol.

I didn’t let him watch Matilda getting trashed by Razer (was that the name? The one who had the tantrumy guy on the team).

Is that what the IDF calls their magazine?

Sheeran is STILL both siding. He really can’t bear to say genocide bad.

He could easily have defended Macklemore on the basis of them being friends and said he’ll throw his toys out the pram if Macklemore isn’t reinstated. But no, he’d rather make this mealy mouthed apology. We know whose side you’re on, Ed.

The British singer became emotional as he told the crowd his concert was “still a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone here can stand beside people that have opposing views”.

People against genocide can sing alongside people who approve of genocide! How wholesome! Yeah, I hope anyone anti-genocide refused to go.

He said that he had not known “whether this tour would be carrying on” and “whether I even wanted to be an artist at all”, but that he had returned to the stage because he was committed to his fans.

Aww, diddums. At least you get to decide if you want to continue your career. The kids under the rubble didn’t live long enough for that.

This isn’t a civil matter, this is assault, it’s for the criminal justice system, not civil litigation.

And people are stupid and hateful enough to believe this bunch of woman-beaters are the party of “protecting our women and girls”.

Why are they not being arrested for assault? It’s right there on video.

I can’t 😭😭😭😭😭

There’s only one explanation that makes sense. Their child is a chatbot.

They probably used voice to text, and the software misheard “paedo’s president” as people’s president.

It’s actually pretty funny how kids can pick up on stuff they hear adults say. I have a couple of my own thathappened moments that did actually happen, but they’re usually one offs and can be put down to kids just imitating what they hear.
This one though, this is made up.
