Just saw Gwyneth Paltrow saying she substitutes arugula/rocket for dairy and now I’m furious again

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!

Desperate for a little bit of thunder, as a treat 🤞🏼

THAI FOOD FOR TEA YAAAAAAAYYYY

Obligatory reminder for the SSRI girlies that they make us more vulnerable to overheating & dehydration so drink your water and don’t let anybody bully you into sitting in the sunshine if you don’t want to x

Made a banana bread, been to the gym, dropped off some unneeded dog food to the hedgehog rescue, a successful morning all round I’d say

Slept terribly but I’ve got two days off plus the bank hol so the world is my lobster

I am the victim of a hate crime* *targeted ads on insta

Finally replaced my wiper blades at the weekend and it genuinely improved this morning’s commute tenfold

All of my targeted ads on insta today are for companies pushing GLP-1s, gross

I didn’t get fired and my manager was extremely kind about my sick leave and told me very forcefully to be kind to myself as well, my brain can go fuck itself

Got a 1:1 in 12 minutes and am unbelievably anxious about it without really being sure why x

Anyway hello

When I attended the ILGA conference last year there was a closed session with the Human Rights Commissioner for the problem cases: Hungary, Albania and the UK. I think this map flatters the UK and we are worse than it shows.

Not a single dog at my polling station, what’s the bloody point

Voter ID is voter suppression

Went to a new ballet class last week and really enjoyed it and spent all day looking forward to tonight’s class then got so anxious I cried and have now missed the class

I’ve made a lot of jokes in my relationship about being insecure/anxious and they *are* all jokes because A makes me feel *so* loved and secure. Last night we were half asleep and he said “I know I’m rolling over and turning my back to you but I still love you”

GP has given me a 2 week sicknote and I made some mini pizza pinwheels so I feel slightly less like I’m going to pass out at any given moment

Waking up on a Sunday morning and immediately bursting into tears at the thought of work the next day is completely normal, right?

A came over and immediately told me I look pale and asked if I’m ok

Ok but M&S self checkouts are particularly useless at doing their one job (scanning barcodes)

Finally found a foundation pale enough for my skin and every time I look in the mirror I’m shocked at how unwell I look

Just finished Nesting by Roisín O’Donnell. Beautiful, urgent, incredibly stressful. 5 stars I never want to read it again

Good news guys I made a 10/10 sandwich for my lunch

In a really bad brain place recently and I haven’t missed it at all

Every time this tailor posts a photo of their workspace, it looks like their dog is a tailor and he's showing off the garments he made. IG z.o.e.y.a.t.e.s

Been a while since I’ve had to call in sick because I can’t get out of bed without crying, cannot say I’ve missed it

Normalise pausing work for a quick cry break

Jail for anyone who uses Lidl self checkout for their big shop but doesn’t pack as they go

It’s 2026 surely we must be able to develop an easier way for women to provide urine samples
