🚨 Elon Musk is responding to Tesla's HISTORIC sales crash by cutting back his government role. A lot has changed since we started being told to f*ck off out of Tesla stores 10 weeks ago. Watch out billionaires, the people are coming x

Another USA born citizen being held by ICE. #FascistUSA trying to deport its own citizens. This is the fourth case I've come across this week and there only the ones that have hit the news.

#SleepChronicles update: 7h57m - an improvement on yesterday, but it doesn't feel like it. I'm shattered. I washed my hair today, cleared out another moving bag, made breakfast, and I'm done in.

Tell me I'm wrong - but from my view: @WeAreQueerAF.com is the only publisher in the UK, mainstream or queer, to work with a Trans journalist today to cover today's ruling? If you agree that's the way journalism should be been done, support our journalism: 👉 www.wearequeeraf.com/membership/

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

#SleepChronicles update: 7 hours & 3 minutes last night, some of it deep, some of it core. I'll take it. I'm hoping tonight stays above 7 hours, too.

At the age of 6, I was done with religion. My parents had the parish priest around for Sunday dinners (it was rotational in the parish), but I just didn't, nay couldn't believe. I went to convent primary schools, but escaped to a state high school. What a relief! No religion at all.

Just when you think you couldn't hate Elon Musk more you find this out...

We have community recycling bins here for glass (brown, green & clear). They are often overflowing, and folks put dog poo bags and all sorts in them because the regular refuse bin nearby is also often overflowing. Too few collections.

We produce it; why shouldn't we benefit from it?

Finally! I managed 9.5 hours of sleep last night. 🎉 I drifted off quite quickly, too. Please 🙏, please 🙏 let this be the start of a pattern. #SleepChronicles

I wish. Sorry, but as a #Chronie I can actually be sat there for hours. I get cramps in my thighs during really bad flares. I'd rather be anywhere else. Oh, and I am unable to do anything, e.g. reading while stuck except breathe through the pain. #CrohnsColitis #Crohns #IBD

Abair nochd! Couldn't get comfortable in any position, and the temperature fluctuated from hot to cold. I got up a few times to reset for an hour. In the end, I got 3 hours sleep and gave up as the sun came up. #SleepChronicles

Dear Elon, love London x Sound on 🔊

Israel is trying to interfere in the Canadian election, less than 48 hours after Trump met with Netanyahu. The Israelis are gunning for Carney and coercing the liberal party to pledge fealty. It’s time to stop appeasing war criminals. It’s the same act they hit the US Democratic Party with. #cdnpoli

80th day of Trump's bribery scheme operating out in the open.

Yeah. Couldn't hold out so took a nap. I was so tired I actually fell asleep in less than 1/2 hour - not done that in ... well, I can't remember. #SleepChronicles #Fatigue #ChronicIllness

It was gone 5 a.m. before I managed to sleep. Not sure what kept me up. I was warm, then cold, just couldn't get comfortable. It's an uphill battle this sleep thing. #SleepChronicles #ChronicIllness

Drone casually flies through Moscow as Russian air defences miss every shot

Feeling the fatigue these days. I did manage to clean the bathroom from top to bottom, but had to have lots of rest breaks. Still it's done & while the sun shines. I ordered food in (a very rare treat) because I just couldn't prepare anything. Food for the next 3 days. #ChronicIllness #Crohns #IBD
