Want to talk about crimes? Talk about these crimes ⏬

told my mom that credit ratings were invented in the 80s and that before that we just used racism to determine who gets a loan. she got mad and started reading the wikipedia page out loud to prove me wrong only to trail off in horror.

Y'all I found birds like you would not believe

Thing that I didn't realize until I was an adult is that a lot of people live nowhere near real nature so think that farms are nature. It's a bizarre phenomenon, but it makes sense in places like Ireland or the UK

Funded in part by a new tax on any home worth over $1 million, turns out good policy is in fact possible!

Have you seen this

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

A) category error, but also b) as @sistersinead.bsky.social said, cannot imagine walking into like, a WHSmith in and there is a prominent gay section

Just like every time I'm in a new place with a new language, I say what I think is hello, only to have someone say hello back to me with a completely different set of syllables that bear only the vaguest resemblance to what I said

My old ass cat is now eating half a chicken breast a day and like, mate I can't keep this up, how did we get here

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

Its quite striking to me the similarity with the no more jury judgements thing Labour wants to do how they say “criminals shouldn’t get juries“ when the reality is that its “people wouldn’t get juries“

Genuinely astonishing how many people think this does not impact them

I do really wish i could wear less "Im a woman!" clothes at work but a) leggings/dresses are the 'professional' clothes made of stretch material and b) why arent dresses androgynous just bc i also have boobs, feels unfair

Why is the court even able to pass judgement on which parent's surname a child has? What a country (derogatory)

I know this is just to pressure the minister and they’re awful and all but it’s not “Trans people” its “anyone suspected of being trans” innit

Ughhhhhhh my local authority got rid of physical visitor parking permits and now only uses online ones, obviously my account has been suspended due to inactivity, is unable to be reactivated, the council have no control, and the app just has a contact form with no actual human interaction possible

I can't even dream about something this good

If you ever want to be blackpilled, look up the old streetcar map for your city

Absolutely appropriate to win awards for this, imo

Bahahahaha I just got forwarded something with the direct emails of all 1560 managers across this whole NHS trust, you better believe I'm putting this in my pocket for later when I need to harass a team

Jesus to his disciples:

Thank you TfL for telling me "good service" on the Victoria line when in fact it is not running, very helpful

Whomst among us hasn't felt a little vacuum about snackie all done

You, an idiot: I like ice cream Google, the world's smartest overlord: yes, we all long for a world where you aren't forced to have ice cream like some kind of joyful child

Something I wish got challenged more often in this “men in crisis” discourse is the blithe assumption (or sometimes outright assertion!) that everyone’s boss is a woman now. “Women now dominate white collar work and corporate management roles.” No they don’t. That just isn’t true.

Imagine having this much drive to live and the energy to pull it off

Every Friday I think "thank goodness this week is over and I can relax" and then i get the zoom link for my Friday evening therapy and 😫

This morning I decided the cure for my hip pain was to try to twist my femur inwards as much as possible, a resounding success for several hours until Past Panda's Femoral Experiments have caught up with me and now I am dying

Bsky/any news is way too awful for me, work is way too stressful, I need to just look at maps of temples in Chiang Mai and think about how close @sistersinead.bsky.social and I are to a Thailand vacation

Someone whos good at the economy please help me budget, my family is dying

Do you want to see cute orb like birds hopping across the beach or would you rather continue to consume the misery and sadness? 🪶

I left philosophy and compulsory heterosexuality both back in NC and I don't miss either of them.

One person out of more than 78,000 olympians, for those counting at home

Actually, carnivorous death ball, now is probably as good a time as any

I watched this with the sound off, thought this said "i learned a whole other dialect just to be pretty" and was confused the whole video

AND HE WAS LIKE, BUT NOT MY FACE, RIGHT? AND I WAS LIKE WELL IT'S A FACE, SO

Now I am arguing with a nurse about whose opinion matters more, a clinician who feels they are communicating tons or a patient who feels they do not know what is happening, a great morning

I am a "high functioning" person with serious mental illness and I cannot even tell you how much I hate hate hate the language of "recovery". I am not in recovery, recovery is not on the table, please fuck off.

In workshop about redesign of NHS pathways this morning, one person asked what will be different for the patient, and the clinical lead for the workshop just said "really nothing". WTF are we doing here then?!

Transgender for everyone!

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

I have the worst headache, I am so tired, my job is dehydrating the shit out of me, someone send thoughts and prayers, I have so so so many fucking meetings to get through this week and how am I supposed to do that with this headache

Took a big nap today, I hope i dont sleep poorly and regret it tonight h t

Every single person who I tell that I am making a shrine to a cat asks if the cat died, and while I guess that does make sense as a question to ask, haven't you heard of cult leaders? Shrines are also for the living!

I read this early this morning and it is very well written and extremely BLEAK.
