Yay, I got confirmation that anyone who stayed past 7pm on election night last Friday gets paid more so that’s another bonus for the citizenship payment 🎉 Now down to just £409 left to pay, wooooooo

I very much want to know why that was cut. He has every right to say it and be heard.

this is incredible. israel found the one strategy guaranteed to make NYT turn on israel thehill.com/homenews/med...

I told a colleague yesterday about my clothing collection and not being able to complete my presentation at my ADHD assessment and she was immediately like, “…do you also have ASD?” WHY WAS IT SO OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE BUT ME

pray for my inbox tomorrow morning as a council internal comms person…

Fellas, is standing gay?

It’s been a very long day.

Why are most councils not putting alt text in their election coverage? 😭 I get it’s a time sensitive piece but I know all too well that most of their social media management software has the option to generate it before posting

Well, this is going to be an interesting next few months…

Starting the count, see you in a couple of hours! Keep an eye on the London results for me pls 🙏

STOP DOING CRUISES * HOTEL-CASINOS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MOBILE * YEARS OF CRUISES yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for going further from land than a PONTOON BOAT * Want to go to sea anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called "JOINING THE NAVY"

Please share this one.

I still can’t vote in the UK so please vote in the local elections if you can, and vote wisely 🗳️

another weekend, another fun font project. i present: ✨The CrABC’s✨ 🦀 *crab rave intensifies* 🦀

I learned today my dog Honey is very clever but also a massive dick - she escaped the dog walker (who’s been walking her for MONTHS without incident) at the park 20 mins away today, crossed multiple main roads on her own and walked/ran herself home while everyone was freaking the fuck out 😤

stumbled across a FB group post by a Tory mayoral candidate in the upcoming local elections and it’s taking everything in me not to fact check his complaint about lack of youth clubs/youth services in that area (it was my literal job to promote that borough’s extensive non-statutory youth provision)

“I created a song with Suno AI—“

Rent tribunal application submitted (two days before my terrible landlord’s proposed rent increase) 🎉 Screw “market value” when the property hasn’t been updated in approx 15 years

One detail I hadn't realised about parliament finishing today - today is the last day a hereditary peer will ever sit in the House of Lords.

[overhearing a colleague talk about not being able to accept a shirt as a gift yesterday even though they really wanted it] Me, not-so-casually butting in: “Would you like me to find that exact shirt for you to see if you can buy it yourself? I happen to have a very specific clothing collection…”

One of my favorite things to do here is to pluck one of your old posts from obscurity and repost it, then sit back and watch as it gets 4 additional likes.

One of my neighbors has the last name of Pope, and they keep missing their FedEx package so the delivery driver apparently has time on their hands

oh my god I’m not even joking about this but I’ve just crunched the numbers and my total of confirmed Eleanor Shellstrop clothing items I currently own, including ones not worn yet in this thread, is 69 (nice)

trying to resist the urge to spiral into hours of matching up patterns because someone on a random reel on my feed left a comment that said “I like your jeans - where are they from?” to the creator

Possibly the greatest "me and who" in photographic history

hope she’s having a good day 💖

Red tape is designed to make you want to give up and accept the shit offered to you.

Friday happiness, because fuck, we all need it.

Biometrics DONE! Now to hear absolutely nothing for a minimum of six months - next up is the citizenship ceremony hopefully

this is very weird to articulate but I am having Feelings again, post-autism diagnosis, and especially working with children and education, learning about all the support that could have been offered had I only known earlier (going back into therapy soon)

I hated serial killers until I got that first rush of my hands squeezing tighter and tighter around a helpless delicate neck

Hi, I'm new to this server. Sorry if this has been covered before! But has anyone who just paved over their garden entirely had the satyr continue to show up to dance and play music? It's not a panflute anymore, though, it's closer to a wooden saxophone. Thanks!

They revoked pluto's planet status to try and cure autism

Important posting metaphor: Bluesky is as if a bunch of people started a sports bar, but because the local big club got taken over by a creep, a lot of the goths and alt kids are now hanging out in the bar all the time, and the owners don't know what to do about it since they have no other customers

oh great now where am I supposed to get my world’s biggest condoms

ew, found out a toxic former boss got an MBE this year (no, I’m not connecting with him on LinkedIn but he’s exactly the sort of person you know would put it in his title on there)

Damn soup has no texture

Finally got on this asthma clinical trial so my chronic condition, only diagnosed last year, is essentially paying for my citizenship 🎉 It’s a double blind trial but fingers crossed I got the drug that’s meant to help with the cold symptoms because it’s going to be a miserable week otherwise 🤞

That noise. Fuck it!

the penne opticon

to the surprise of no one here who has seen my Eleanor collection, guess who is now officially autistic to add to the dyspraxia and ADHD? And yes, I made the assessor see my slides which is probably why the assessment took less than 45 minutes instead of the full two hours 😆

Sorry guys, I fucked up. I opened up the strait of hormel instead and now there's chili all over the entire middle east. I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do about it. Please don't be mad at me

There used to a pop song every year named "Hero" and the chorus was always "You're a hero deep inside / don't ever let your hero hide". But then 9/11 happened, and every pop song was named "Party Booty (Bootyhole Remix) feat DJ A$$crack". And if it isn't true don't correct me.

The people who have most trouble with pronouns are almost certainly the same people who use "myself" when they mean "I" or "me".

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I have so many new Eleanor Shellstrop and Lizzie Bennet outfits to talk about, where do I even start? 😱

“Frustration with modern dating” feels like an awfully charitable phrasing for what’s motivating these guys

😭😭😭

My local autism assessment service finally booked my appointment for the week after next - I hope the assessor is ready for a presentation they didn’t ask for about all my Eleanor items (probably why the ADHD service referred me in the first place, tbh)

Catsitting in West Hampstead for the week but I never realised how bougie it is until now… My local supermarket is a Waitrose and I can’t seem to find mirin in any of the local shops for this one specific recipe I need to make with my ingredients and it’s bugging the shit out of me for some reason

please for the love of god don't let these people put you off trying to get help if you're struggling, even if it isn't ADHD or autism getting seen and heard is really really good and useful, and no one needs to have a formal diagnosis for all the informal support out there
