"It's not that deep" YES IT IS!!!!!!! EVERYTHING IS ACTUALLY VERY DEEP!!!!

I have always really struggled with studying, but this year, I feel like the summer break turned my brain into mush..

Them: “no one had pronouns in my day” A TV Character from their day:

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies." Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration. #Peston

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

“Why don’t women just go to the police then?” Virginia Giuffre literally had to kill herself to get heard.

Nothin else for it

I just know that I’d like to see Toni Collette in the Louvre heist movie.

Autistic people get a bad rap for universally lacking empathy (some of us do identify as experiencing low empathy - many do not) but the truth is most people do not, on a day to day basis, truly empathize with people who are fundamentally different from them.

All I can think about when I hear about a heist..

I had to give up work after severe burnout about 4 years ago but slowly, I've been able to go to uni part time and even manage some events in person. This Sunday I have an in-person life drawing event and then I'm going straight to a concert afterwards...

Randhawa said: “I love teaching people about current events, and social issues, and how to show basic decency to marginalised people. It’s my job; I don’t know how or why, but it’s my job. People wouldn’t do their own research otherwise, which leads me to believe that they just can’t.”

The heicht o the biggins is happit in rauchens o haar, The statues alane Stand clearly, heid til fit in stane, And lour frae then and thonder at henceforth and here… —Alexander Scott, “Haar in Princes Street” (OK, this is the High Street, but still… ) #poem #poetry asls.org.uk/publications...

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Stop telling disabled people to “just stay home” because you don’t want to take Covid precautions Stop telling us to take more precautions because you’ve decided you’re not at risk Everyone’s at risk It’s an airborne virus. We all share the air If everyone made an effort we would all be safer

People who tell me “You’re an extreme case, we’re not talking about you” when it comes to disability benefits… I don’t care. When you come for one disabled person, you come for us all. I’m not as selfish as you to do the “Oh I’m alright then”. I actually care about others.

You've got to hand it to Starmer, there's really nothing he can't make a farce out of. Never mind how the whole digital ID to "tackle undocumented migrants" is utterly pointless, but he's even managed to lose support for universal ID's from people who were pro them. news.sky.com/story/thousa...

Disabled people are more likely to be victims of financial abuse. And the Universal Credit system makes that even more likely by not allowing them to have money if they live with a partner who earns/has some savings. It's a horrifically abusive system.

You have people for whom stress can quite literally kill them, having stress piled onto them by cruel Government policies and “reforms” of disability benefits. I don’t think people understand just how serious even the worry and anxiety can be.

wow both new frankenstein movies look great

Nobody has ever been sexier than Tim Curry in Rocky Horror

#OtD 18 Oct 1948 Israeli Air Force began bombing the Palestinian village of Bayt Jibrin during Operation Yoav. By the time Yoav concluded, in just a few days, it had caused the number of refugees living in the Gaza Strip to increase from 100k to 230k stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1143...

Really liked this piece on making friends. If you’re #AuDHD like me, then I think you’d like it also.

"Quick let's put the focus on disabled people having cars so that we can push the benefits cuts through the back door and create rhetoric to go even further next year". This is what they're doing. It's sickening.

The next Scottish government needs to listen to disabled people and take action to ensure the systemic change needed to realise their rights, according to a new manifesto drawn up by a national disabled people’s organisation. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/scotlands-ne...

It's actually remarkably easy to not ever use ChatGPT.

If you lose your faith because the Pope said to love the poor, you didn’t have faith in the first place.

The Government is already saving £24 billion per year in unclaimed benefits, by having inaccessible systems that fail many of the most vulnerable.

I'm starting to reevaluate my relationship with social media and my mobile phone usage. The more prevalent AI becomes, combined with constant rage bait posts, it's no longer enjoyable being on the device for any considerable length of time.

Disabled people have suddenly become up to £200 pounds a month worse off because of unexpected impacts of being moved from their old “legacy” benefits onto universal credit. #UniversalCredit #DWP www.disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-cla...

the masterpiece that is CANDYMAN starring Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen was released today #horror #filmsky

A lot of people think it’s unreasonable to expect masking in public spaces What’s unreasonable is accepting a mass disabling event when we have tools to stop it What’s unreasonable is expecting disabled people to stay home forever What’s unreasonable is risking your long term health unnecessarily

When we understand that our history is diverse, it changes our outlook. I hope that this Black History Month, we all take the time to uncover the history lessons we were denied in school https://www.wearequeeraf.com/how-many-more-generations-will-be-denied-black-queer-history-before-we-take-action/

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

@edinmaskbloc.bsky.social can I ask if yous have any recs for masks with headband straps that I buy online? Thanks :)

“Such a zero-sum approach risks certain inferences being drawn from the UK supreme court judgment that could lead to widespread exclusion of trans people from many public spaces." "No shit Sherlock" seems inadequate. This is a feature of the guidance, not a bug. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The only difference between any of us, and a Palestinian refugee (for example) is luck. We just happened to be born in the UK. It's not a superiority, it's chance.

You can tell I'm at uni again, cos instead of studying, I'm trying to figure out the logistics of swapping two rooms in my house around..

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth here in the UK. Looking to add more books by black authors to your bookshelf? There's loads out there, but here’s a little list of LGBTQ+ books & graphic novels with black protagonists, written by black authors: (A list of titles & author names can be found in the alt text)

Yes, disabled people deserve nice things too. They deserve to have whatever social life possible for them. They deserve to have holidays if able. They deserve to have support, entertainment, and hobbies. All of these can be fundamental to a good quality of life.
