There’s a bogey in my library book. I’m so upset

Anyone else thinking of going as Claudia Winkleman for Halloween?

I just finished the marvellous Beastopia, the first in a new series by @chrissiesains.bsky.social. I think it’s the first book I’ve read with type 1 diabetes rep. Can anyone recommend any other books with good disability /chronic illness representation? #KidsBooksFriday #UKKidLit #KidLit #KidLitUK

those damned outdoor pigs can't keep getting away with this

#OCD #CBT #ERP #MeanGirls I made a thing. The brilliant @lilybailey.bsky.social made the original of this several years ago though.

I just put a teabag in the dishwasher tablet drawer, anyway, how’s your day going?

Some of you didn’t save your best stickers for a special occasion that never came, and it shows

Do you ever feel like you are just a series of Taylor Swift lyrics in a trench coat

Not to brag but this week I didn’t forget to put the bins out

Sees a follow from ‘Crips Against Cuts’ Instant follow back @crips-against-cuts.bsky.social

Just saw a headline that read “what not drinking enough water really does to your body” and honestly I got a jump scare

“Listen to your body” Not a good idea because my body can’t tell the difference between being chased by a bear and an incoming Teams call

When someone says they’ll just “pop by” your house at “some point today” so you enter a liminal social waiting room where you can’t do anything else until they’ve come and gone

Two tweets, 9 years apart...

🧵 The UK government has announced they will make over £5bn in cuts to disabled people’s social security. This is the biggest cut on record. And we’re appalled. People at food banks have told us that they’re terrified about how they might survive.

“Tell me why I don’t like Mondays” Because they’re a soft reset when I’ve only just managed to get the hang of the previous week and the cyclical and unstoppable march of weekdays is it’s own a kind of prison Oh

"You're so quiet" Thanks every time I tried to speak someone spoke on top of me

I just had THE nap. My neighbour’s dog is here and she’s bigger than my dog and she put her weight across my legs and oh my GOD how will I ever sleep without that reassuring pressure grounding me to this Earth again

God bless the “it looks like you forgot to attach an attachment” pop up

Always thought I was alone in this

The neurodivergent urge to be filled with promise for the day, thinking of the many nice ways you could spend it and little hobbies you could do - only to lose time because you’re frozen between all the options

“The love that exists between you and me is proof that actions speak louder that words”

“You’re so quiet” Thanks I’m doing choose your own adventure but the scenarios are every other decision I could ever have made

It’s one of life’s great sadnesses that you cannot tag your dog in memes

When I see this in shows it always makes me think maybe I’m just a bit obsessive about saying goodbye clearly. But maybe I’m… normal?

My son is looking exceptionally sloth-like today

Losing changes you spent hours working on waaaaah the pain never gets easier

Sometimes I will open a snack extra quietly around my dog because he’s asleep and I don’t want to have to share it with him, and I think, how did we get here

A gathering of animals in honour of World Wildlife Day 2025 - still time to join in this fun event - see link in previous post! See you shortly!

Hey, it looks like you’ve been scrolling for a while. Would you like to see a dog?

Sun on your face on 1st March is like coming up for air

Apparently it’s pretty normal to not feel in sync with your actual age, so what age did you get stuck at? I’m 16-18 and every morning it’s a total shock to remember I am not just about to leave secondary school.

Sometimes I get so intensely anxious and stressed that I pass over the event horizon and start to feel absolutely nothing at all

Here's what's happening in Palestine & the region. I was inspired to post this by someone in my mentions saying the genocide has intensified under Trump (and of course blaming Arab voters). It's clear that for some, what actually happens in Palestine doesn't matter, only how it...

New panic unlocked: front door key disappearing through a hole in the lining of your coat pocket

Responding to all “I hope you are well” emails with this from now on

The canine urge to snort the air under a door just to check if your human is on the other side

Constantly feeling the need to reiterate that if you post about something sad and difficult and I like it, I obviously do not in fact, ‘like it’

My toxic trait is listening to voice notes but not replying immediately, thereby entering a liminal space where I know I need to reply but can’t remember exactly what to

Found this old picture of my dog with our Lego pirate ship and he looks like he built it and is going to take it in for show and tell

It would simply not make sense to assume that straight people are interested in everyone of the opposite gender so it honestly blows my mind how quick people are to assume bisexual/polyamorous people would have it on with everyone

You’ve been murdered, who do you want on the case?

Just watched Anatomy of a Fall. Perfect for Valentine’s Day

Me: shifts in seat Dog (doing backflips): yooo let’s ride
