If you need to use pre-minced garlic or pre-cut fruits and veggies, or literally anything else that makes cooking more accessible to you, you are no less of a person and your food still tastes good. Don’t let ableist people make you question your worth.

After the week from HELL where our WHOLE system had to be rebuilt from SCRATCH, being bombarded by people wanting immediate attention, with next to no sleep and no appetite, I am officially entering festive mode with a week off. I've fulfilled a dream and procured a beef wellington as compensation.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Joining my residents' panel was the best decision I made this year. It's sitcom-worthy shenanigans every single time we get together. From group chat ejections and round-in-circles discussions to absolutely bonkers anecdotes, I truly love this ragtag group of icons.

Opinion | "With grace and dignity she changed the meaning of the dance-off - it has been tremendously moving to watch," writes Sarah Carson trib.al/2UXyD84

Chocolate doesn't ask. Chocolate understands.

Couldn't remember what that new Rowan Atkinson Netflix thing was called, so searched for Beany Baby😄

The scariest of Sunday scaries, since I've been away for nearly a week, and the "get this sh*t off my desk at any cost, in any condition" window is fast approaching.🥲 Reminds me of this anthem! 🎼I know there's an email that hopes to find me well; well, I hope it don't find me!🎼

We'll always have BalvinderHive2025 ♥️ Love how supportive Julian was through what must have been quite the inner battle for our Queen, being told every week that you're not quite enough and then showing them all that you *are,* week on week. I will take that lesson with me! Grace and gratitude.

Kazlos for the glitterball now

My kingdom for commercials that match the volume of the broadcast

Another Allergy Groundhog Day. F: Have a look at this label. Me: It says "may contain peanuts." F: Where? ...On the label, where it always is; where it's legally required to be; where you've seen me look SO many times... Later-life allergies suck since it's all on you. Folx don't build the skills.

Andrew Ridgeley has the best life in the world because he was kind to the fat kid at school. We should all recall that.

Gave Bal all my votes. I know everyone else will have Karen covered! #Strictly

George and Alexis's Charleston was more memorable than the couple's choice, soz. I need to join an Alexis workout class, because the *stamina* and the *flexibility* on that woman? Insane. #Strictly

*stands in front of Vito* Craig, don't talk to me or my son again! #Strictly

Kaz really goes for it, absolutely throws herself into every dance. And that's what I'm missing in Amber, even if she has the greater technical know-how #Strictly

Motsi may be too generous with the 10s but think she's firmly my favourite judge now. #Strictly

I had to disagree with Motsi tonight, which I hate 😭 I do not think this Amber Nikita number was one that will be remembered. It was well danced, but it was a little blasé. #Strictly

Julian and Kai have LENergy - old souls. Classic. #Strictly

Balvinder is getting all my votes tonight - I would love to see her in the final #Strictly

Not watching the last weeks of #Strictly at my parents' house again. Not my mum saying she's "just popping to the loo," then taking 10 whole minutes for a wardrobe change and skincare routine😭 I'm so far behind 😖

"After the week you've had" Sorry I can't get behind Amber & Nikita at all. 1 dance off. The framing of this couple 🙄 Balvinder had them week after week after week and still came back fighting. #Strictly #SCD

Awe, Kaz 😭 That's a hallmark of a true dancer. She felt it in her soul! #Strictly

Nikita is a great choreographer, and when he's not choreographing himself, he gets a really good run on the routines. I always enjoy watching him dance. #Strictly

The judges being nice to Balvinder since they found out the public likes her and meaner to Amber now she's been in a dance-off🤨 #Strictly

BALVINDER HIVE ACTIVATE my god those hips #SCD #strictly

All of the LIFTS! Leaving everything from the floor, that's my QUEEN #Strictly

That "how are you feeling today?" notification from your mood-tracking app coming in at the worst possible time. Terrible; the answer is terrible.

Plus a withdrawal petition with more than 22,000 signatures. Always loved you, Portugal🫶🏽

"Women conducted an experiment whose results exposed a difficult truth about something. We're not emotionally equipped to be held accountable for that thing, so here's why the women must be wrong." 🤡

I dumped Facebook back in 2015. It was discovered that "META" provided Russia election rich data via Cambridge Analytics. Russians used that data to target voters and get Trump elected. Fancy Bear a Russian hacker group hacked the DNC emails in 2015. FCK FACEBOOK www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Good luck with that – we ain't coming. Special regards to Disney and Las Vegas, who were already in a bind.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

ARE YOU LISTENING, SOUTHERN WATER? #TheWarBetween #TWBTLATS

And now that plank has agreed to a meeting in depths unreachable without reading the terms and conditions💀 Standard homo sapien foolishness #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

Well, well, well! Now we see what it is like to be a small island developing state! They didn't even start the fight and yet they bear the brunt of it. #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

Yaaaaaasss Queen, tell us. That water is full of sh*t, as are we! #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

Why does a glass of water from the river take that many people to retrieve. They practically emptied the room of SecOps people! #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

I was hoping the gift was going to be death, but not *that* death #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

Aliens, interpreting, extreme peril, I am SEATED. #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

I fear I might not be on humanity's side watching this, you know. We kinda deserve this. #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

"We come in peace!" ...And if *we* don't? #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

Irks me when people follow others into quicksand and deep water on TV. Didn't your mum warn you about not jumping off a bridge if your friends were doing it! #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea

No way I’m typing #Thewarbetweenthelandandthesea every time 🫩

Ok, I've decided – Game of Wool will have to wait. I care less about spoilers for that than I do about TWBTLAS.

Lewis and Katya can do LaKita and tour with their own show. It doesn't have to be the total end – it could very well be a beginning! #Strictly

I now have the dilemma of deciding whether I am Game of Wooling or War Between the Land and Sea-ing. You're tearing me apart😱

Poor Katya. So close. She choreographed some incredible dances this year that will stand the test of time! It's just ringers are not the brief for this show. Would LOVE Lewis in an all-stars version, though. #Strictly
