Someone fraudently used my card to charge for 500 pounds of beauty services at a salon. I have contacted my bank to report this and if they ask for evidence it was not me I will simply take my hat off.

Someone just sent me this photo of me and I think it might be the best photo I've ever been in

Just got the email about Facebook and a fan club. If anyone is in the know, may I have the tea please and thank you.

Am in a part of England with bad public transport. Went to the local bus service website to check the bus timetable. It is an hourly service. The uploaded timetable (January 2025) was incorrect. Of course no one is going to give up their cars with service like this.

1. I am a migrant. I have ILR. 2. People applying for ILR *already* pay National Insurance and need to prove they know English to a certain level and can't claim benefits. 3. What is "volunteering with your community"? What counts? I am very wary of these proposals.

There will be a lot of discussion in the Eurovision community (and beyond) regarding the upcoming participation vote by Israeli public service broadcaster KAN. Let's think smart about what we read?

Italian language: sounds beautiful; means what it says French language: sounds beautiful, but why are these descriptions like this? Anyway, I am having a little treat of APPLESAUCE on my train through France (English translation: compote of apples and vanilla. It was on the menu next to tiramisu!)

Did I make a last minute dash to the RAI museum just to see if they had anything on Sanremo? Yes. Was I rewarded? ALSO YES!

Update: My night train is going to be 90 minutes late with no information provided aside from a change in platform and a number on the board. Again, the toilet facilities are pay to use (after I've already paid for my train ticket) and there is not a single staff member around to address any of this

Today I visited the set of the video for Achille Lauro's song "Incoscienti giovani"

I love night trains. I want more people to ride them. I also don't want people to have to wait at unstaffed stations in the middle of the night without any services open and trying to find a way to get change to use the toilets. People won't choose trains over planes with this customer service.

Our journey starts on the JAZZ train which is a word I do not associate with my ultimate destination AT ALL

Up at an ungodly hour to be off on a jolly......

Ask an immigrant with indefinite leave to remain how easy it is to sort out ID when getting a new job *right now*. This is a total disconnect from reality, racist, and stupid.

As some with a digital ID card PLEASE just give me a physical ID card that I can show in places rather than having to do a five minute rigamarole every time I try to prove my identity (and the last time I used it I needed to bring my passport as a backup anyway)

Another In Bloom awards in the books and as usual I got no photos because I was so busy but wish everyone could see the detail on the Art in Bloom winner up close

My article “’Everybody Wanna Move Like Us!’: Performing Afro-Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest” has just been published in the September 2025 issue of the Journal of Popular Music Studies! online.ucpress.edu/jpms/article...

It's very nice to see someone who is British making a full-throated case for shouting about the awfulness of what Reform has been saying lately, and how awful the government response is. Thank you, Jonn.

Saw the Primavera lineup and am probably most excited about Peggy Gou AND Melt Banana! (Also the Cure obviously but TEXAS IS THE REASON? Jade? Merzbow? Pinkpantheress? Skrillex? Addison Rae?) (Also I say this like I would be going but ugh heat ugh outdoors ugh people)

I'm so ready. I'M SO READY!!

I also really hate this line. Do you know how many hours I have spent trying to learn which one is Ant and which one is Dec?

Me: Markus Riva releases a bop AFTER September 1st? FINALLY Markus Riva at Eurovision! Also me: remembers we are probably not going to have a Eurovision this year

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

Also I want this to be the new Autism Breakthrough symbol so when someone is having an Autism Breakthrough everyone around them can say "Oh Yeah" encouragingly

Was supposed to be quizzing tonight but had an AUTISM BREAKTHROUGH (which triggered a migraine and heavy duty painkillers, though no Tylenol) Anyway hope all QLLers enjoy my second friendly

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Happy #Bisibility Day to those who celebrate. 💙💜❤️

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

Icymi the first time this ran, here’s a refresher: Vaccines today are more efficient and contain far fewer stimulants to the immune system than some used decades ago www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/h...

Trump is calling autism “out of control” No… Autism stigma is out of control Ableism is out of control Inaccessibility to basic healthcare and support is out of control

love to see fascism defeated by people with menstrual cramps and lower back pain who just want to take their goddamn Tylenol

BREAKING: Trump goes on a wild and unhinged rant spouting misinformation and easily debunked lies about autism. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I've nsaid it before and I'll nsaid it again

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

this is up there with any of the worst things trump has publicly said in either term in office

OKAY The reason you aren’t seeing the 70 year olds with the autism described by RFK Jr is because they were all put in institutions as kids and kept Out of the public eye. It doesn’t mean they don’t exist or didn’t exist.

The reason we haven’t heard more about this link is because it’s been clearly disproven. Correlation does not equal causation

When you leave office, the number will still be 1 in 10 or so because a. The diagnostic criteria changed B. More people (especially women) are getting diagnosed when they weren’t before C. There’s just more autism because autistic people exist. Always have. Always will.

i cannot believe how many times the President of the United States is screaming “Don’t take Tylenol!” at this press conference and it is September 2025 and not October 1982

sorry, i'm not going to get negatively polarized into liking tylenol. i'm an advil girlie and always will be

Fine. I won’t take Tylenol…. ….because I’m an IBUPROFEN BITCH (pry my Advil from my cold dead hands)

taking fistfuls of tylenol to become even more powerful

Tylenol’s lawyers

“moms AND DADS deciding whether to take acetaminophen during pregnancy?” Did you catch that? Sorry, but the dad isn’t the one experiencing the mother‘s pain! It’s the subtle mainstreaming of women as brood mare

God forbid a kid with severe autism exists because “it’s hard to watch” Go fuck yourself You could be expanding Medicaid and creating better social supports. Instead you’re gawking at autistic people and calling us sick.

This would be gross from anyone but it’s fucking wild from a guy who faced accusations of sexual assault, like, a year ago.

I like how the President chose an ungilded room to make the Autism Annoucement, and instead went for the beigest space possible. So considerate of our sensory needs. (You bet I am shitposting through this press conference)

So where are we going for the autism announcement after-party, folks? A library? A train station? Oooooh - a transport museum! (No joke I was at a transport museum earlier today)
