Managed to speak to my (about to be) new boss about my autism/adhd diagnoses - the BEST reaction - oh I'm fascinated by that because I'm sure both I and my daughter are ADHD and I can't decide whether to get a diagnosis! Think this is going to be a good place to work!!

I had no idea my anxiety was a "lifestyle choice" - I know I have made some poor choices in my life, but this one is hard to beat! Looking into how to make a different choice now and looking forward to an easier and more enjoyable life from now on 🤦‍♀️🙄

If I were an investigative journalist in the UK (are there any left?), I would be having a good look at the extent to which NHS leadership seems to have allied itself with a fringe medical movement that more or less condones conversion therapy. qnews.com.au/australian-r...

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

To those saying the police arresting protestors are ‘following the law’: There are 1000s of laws, 1000s of offences, impossible to police at once. Accordingly, all law enforcement agencies prioritise where they focus effort & resource Arresting or not arresting protestors is an operational choice

They repetedly say those of us who are disabled are making a "lifestyle choice" * *who else has this exact phrase been said about !? Gay people. Its all the same hate and bigotry

Spent the morning trying to find all my many (but small) pension pots - I've worked 3 jobs for 2 companies in my life and I have 6 pensions. The one with the longest name which took me longest to track down (it's from the 90s and not viewable online) is worth (drumroll) £1600 - thats total capital!

EastEnders' Kellie Bright on the challenges of being a SEND parent. We were pleased to help with research for this BBC Panorama documentary. But never forget—NONE of the crisis is families’ fault and SNJ will keep holding those responsible to account www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/...

This is grim & dangerous over reach. This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent. Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again... 'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

I assume if implemented these new powers to further restrict protests in the UK will also be used against those outside hotels...right? Right? It's just another erosion of the right to protest, and we keep seeing that right chipped away. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

Different strategies and wording, but same outcome, people denied rights. You cannot in reality condemn the Tories, or Reform, plans for leaving the ECHR and support Labour's plan of restricting it for certain groups. All that shows is you don't care about human rights, you only care about yours.

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'. I ask you. Do you stand with Greta Thunberg? Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

I'm realizing a grim exercise/prompt may be in this ... If others want to share, I'm curious: Why aren't *you* leaving america (yet)? Asking for trans folks in particular, especially those of us on HRT and/or other very directly threatened in terms of our healthcare ... Reposts welcomed. Sigh.

We have heard that the Green Party has passed a motion at conference calling for desegregation of trans healthcare and to end the practice of GICs and to move it to primary care. And you can definitely see why they voted for it here: www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

224 years Two hundred and twenty four years Trans people in Glasgow have to wait TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR YEARS for a first appointment. Self ID Now. Informed Consent Model Now.

We are subjected to psychiatric pathologisation in return for two benefits: legal gender recognition (lol) and access to healthcare (lol). This coercive practice now only has any purpose for those of us who can’t afford to opt out. Torture based on social and financial capital. That’s real Britain.

Woman really can do anything she puts her mind to these days

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Ffs - a big step forward for the church - shame the press are still lagging so far behind!

For #PoemsAbout #Mannequin here is ‘Disjointed’ Big shout to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for creating this space to share with a vast array of prompts. Will catch up later…

Had OH assessment which has declared me fit for my new role and suggested reasonable adjustments. Have agreed they can disclose my conditions which feels a bit scary given I don't know everyone yet.

“It was the night mom served the macaroni supper casserole, whose melted morass of off-brand cheese and frankfurters concealed a bed of butts from cigarettes spent contemplating escape from her loveless marriage, that she also served my father the divorce papers which ended my childhood.”

If only mainstream schools could be more #inclusive of children & teens with #SEND. #schoolleaders & #headteachers, please check out the new wave of #EdRes showing exactly which aspects of MS drive so-called ‘demand’. Please embed #neuro-affiriming approaches. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/ju...

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Labour on form I see. 2.7 million people sign a petition saying "do not introduce digital ID" and the first words of their response are "We will introduce digital ID within this Parliament". Labour aren't listening. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

A small boon for those who have contributed to the #PoetryTheme prompt is that they can now be found in this new starter pack. Please follow, share, repost #poetrycommunity #poetsonbluesky #poetry #prompts #booksky #writingcommunity

There is more to being an ally than just saying 'I support you'. You have to actually do shit when it's needed, the bare minimum being standing up and saying NO to transphobes. It's amazing how many fail at this basic step.

Well thank goodness for all the clarity, respect and dignity. Happy Wes? Bridget? Starmer?

Teachers say trans pupils 'limiting food and drink' to avoid school toilets

On way in to support daughter with her meeting with autism support and realised I've forgotten to take my ADHD meds today! So that should help my executive function, eh?!

In the 1930s a party openly blamed disabled people, chronically ill and mentally ill people for taking money away from working families. The consequences are remembered in a Denkmal in Berlin. HMG are not like that party, but don’t they read history? www.pslhub.org/blogs/entry/...

Have completed my health questionnaire for ny new job and it's come back that I have to have an occupational health assessment. Now feeling super anxious they won't find me fit for the role

Taking eldest back to Uni today. After all the upheaval with the other 2 starting I didn't expect to feel so emotional about him going back - it should feel normal by now? Here we are tho!

We’d happily clog-up every prison in the land before submitting to carry this. Sarah Vine, may as well lobby to have a pink triangle stitched on our sleeves. Sarah Vine is a sadistic monster and we wish these bastards would be beamed up like Kirk.

On my absolute knees. Son going back to uni in Kent tomorrow (we are taking him), so of course despite my constant nagging for 2 weeks we are going the packing now!! RIP my early bedtime plans

Owen Jones has been banned from 'Labour' Party conference - but Maya Forstater is welcome. And they wonder why progressive voters are deserting them in droves.

Poor Maya has the cone of shame and she's a sad pupper :(

You know what’s crazy … “feminine/masculine energy” started as this beautiful way to describe the duality that exists in all humans And now folks done humaned it all up.

THIS

The goalposts for obtaining Indefinite Leave to Remain have just been picked up by Labour, and carted off to somewhere near the Moon. They're not even trying to push back on Reform. Instead they're sprinting Right, dragging the Overton Window with them. Dead to me. Don't you dare excuse it.

“The Green Party stand unconditionally to say trans rights are human rights, trans women and women, trans men and men and non-binary identities exist and are perfectly valid.” – Zack Polanski #TransRightsAreHumanRights www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/z...

The key part of volunteering is that it's... voluntary... Unpaid work that you're forced to do to retain your rights isn't volunteering, it's slavery.

Too much busy again today. I really *really* need to rest soon or I know I'm going to break. Anxiety sky high. palpitations, twitching - busy day tomorrow tho :(
