I didn't anticipate that Labour would be the party to tip us into the Years and Years timeline...

Even more reason to leave 'normal island'....

Went to a crochet workshop this morning... Maybe I finally understand the basics. Obviously I shall spend all afternoon crocheting now to practice

This is something else...

Just putting it out there that as an autistic person I still wear underwear... I just found comfortable ones.

We've agreed to do a social thing in the evening today (well 6 o'clock) and I'm not sure what we were thinking.... Urgh

Just found out the waiting list for Neurology up here is 2 years... I will probably be able to see a consultant quicker once we have emigrated than I can do here. How ridiculous

Watching a Manchester based series on netflix for an added sense of familiarity with local accents and city scenes 🥰

Would you leave the UK now if you had the chance? We were planning to leave in 27, but now debating leaving next year instead

I'm making bread and trying to supress another urge to learn to crochet again... A totally normal day off

Such a significant step, but still not full decriminalisation and it's more than 150 years after it was introduced

I had a realisation today: I'm not antisocial so much as I'm just increasingly disappointed by other humans

This really wouldn't suprise me... After all they don't want to tax the rich too heavily as most Labour MPs would probably be taxed too

The UK can't afford adequate welfare spending but can increase its defence and weapons spending, just in case. Honestly f*ck these priorities www.bbc.com/news/article...

Turns out I'm surprisingly grumpy about the ending of this week's Doctor Who

They're not even pretending otherwise anymore. This is fascism

It's not even a bank holiday weekend here yet I'm still digging up the garden. It's been great fun removing turf and layers of stones underneath

Today I am trying to convince my partner that we should buy a farm. I even made a song to the tune of 'let's go fly a kite'

UK house prices really are the most ridiculous things... I say this even as an owner of a small cottage.

My new life plan: buy a derelict cottage in Ireland with a few acres of land (the important bit). Put a polytunnel on it and start a plant nursery... Who knows if I'm joking at this point

"Moving to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches"

Holiday! Though I've not gone anywhere and this is 20 minutes from my house, it's my first official time off in my own business

Another reason I'm looking forward to leaving the UK is so that I won't have to hear about the royal family as often

Today a sizeble part of my inner self, whether soul or similar non-religious description, wants to retrain into gardening... I also need a holiday. Are the two related, possibly. Does knowing this reduce the internal desire to retrain? No, not really

The party of white dinosaurs who don't understand modern innovations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I am over-peopled and just about resisting the urge to suggest we put the house on the market and move to super rural countryside

Signs I have become desensitized to weird foot stuff: looking at pictures of plantar keratoderma while eating my breakfast

Got a new phone, well refurbished last year's model. So of course I tried out the camera first of all

Workers of the world, unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains

I have a few years to figure out how to get really good at a skill, so that I can make money from home once we move and not have to go to work... Hmmm..... 🤔

Jesus f*cking Christ

This weekend I realised my ideal house would be one where I didn't have to hear other humans at the weekend. I could experience complete relaxation without the jarring of other humans

If you could leave the UK and its current political climate behind, where in the world would you go?

Remastered Oblivion has just appeared on Game Pass, with no apparent forewarning... I'm so excited, but also confused

Is anybody else also hating the political race to the right

At least Ireland gets it right! This is giving me even more reasons to move

I've just found out Ireland had autism friendly towns and a city. This makes me so so happy

Today's ruling is another example of the UK feeling stagnant instead of progressive. I've been feeling like this for a while but this has concreted a 5 year plan to leave the UK

As a country we are quickly slipping backwards... And it scares me, even as an apparent 'biological woman'

Shame.

This makes a lot of sense as to why those with power aren't more concerned with possible apocalyptic threats: they are already welcoming and advancing them www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

One of the things I love best about having my own clinic is my snack area in the stationery cupboard

The BBC seem to have forgotten that we live in one of the richest countries in the world during an article on how to reduce household costs

I'm so tired of seeing disabled people bear the brunt of government debt reduction. Why not do something genuinely revolutionary and adequately tax big business and the super wealthy?

Today I found a silver eyebrow hair... I'm both impressed and horrified

For a moment I thought the glasses were y-fronts and wondered why people needed that level of scrubs coordination

I am full of a cold today. Earlier this morning I blew my nose and one of the dogs let out a really long sigh, because I was making too much noise and woke her up

I miss Guitar Hero... I wish it had continued properly on to the current generation of consoles
