As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system… I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount. By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people. By ableists making ableist assumptions.

Far too true. I'm a full time carer for my wife and have been paying into the system for some 34+years the same as my wife. Last week while Imputting my income and expenses, I made a small mistake and rectified it an hour later. However my wife's payment for tomorrow is now delayed.

@ravenology.bsky.social oh wow hey Chris good to see you here. I tried three times over the years to meet up with you at the tower to get my copy signed. Alas was not meant to be.

Bless him. Our Teddy on the bed doing what he does best. #caturday #cats #catsofbluesky

@chelchell.bsky.social How's the holiday going Rachel?

Today it's a special day for my wife Louise and I. We have been together for a total of Six Thousand Days.

So I'm currently 45 mins into a boost in Lichfield and I've not had a single order. It was bust up till 4pm and what's the betting it will get busy at 5pm when the boost ends. #DeliverooRider

This is hands down one of the greatest videos I've ever ever seen. Goto love the ending. youtube.com/shorts/alGAk...

Hey @bsky.app notnsure why but I have an #InvalidHandle again. I have verified the domain dns record but it's still showing as invalid.

Enough said.

I goto say that since finding the brain.fm app my reading is so much better and a lot more pleasurable. I've been using it for two weeks now and it's helluva awesome. Try it my fellow #BookReaders. #Bookish #BookSky #Reading #ReadingCommunity

Well worth a repost.

Phew that took a good while to do yesterday. Got rid of my old bookcase and built up two new bookcases to match the first one. So much more space in my reading room now. #Bookish #BookSky #Reading #ReadingCommunity #ReadingRoom #BookCase.

Wow, I just realised I only have another 15 weeks of my 40s left. #BecomingFifty

I got me a new book today seeing as I've been reading 800+ novels of late. I think that this will be a welcoming break. Anyone read this before? #Bookish #BookBlog #BookSky #Reading #LordOfTheFlies #WilliamGolding

Happy Caturday… 🐱 #caturday #bluesky

I'm thinking that I going need a bigger brain after this... #TheBrothersKarazamov #FyodorDostoevsky #BookSky #Reading #ReadingCommunity

Sat outside and just started reading what some people say is the Greatest Novel of all time. It's The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Love your thoughts on this book. #Book #BlueSkyBooks #Bookish #FyodorDostoevsky #TheBrothersKaramazov

Working all day looking after my bunny who now needs Kidney Dialysis each night. Thought it a good time to read #TheIliad and enjoy a pint. #Bookish #BookSky #Carer #KidneyHealth #DialysisJourney

in 50 years we’ll all be in the same old group chats, sharing the same old memes for nostalgia’s sake, in a bold attempt to cling on to some semblance of cognisance, as we begin the slow decline into the madness of death and beyond

I'm nearly fifty years old and consider myself an Oak tree due to my age and experience. What tree do you consider yourself to be and why. Love your opinions. #BookSky

Teddy and I chillin at home after a long and hard day. #cats #catsofbluesky #BlueSkycats

I'm reposting this because most of what I've just read about is not Food but - Industrially Produced Edible Substances.

Ultra-processed #foods 🍔🍟 are linked to #dementia #cancer 🤮💊🤒 #depression #stroke and #heart disease 🫀 #Palmoil is a saturated fat implicated in many of these same #health risks.#Boycottpalmoil in the supermarket, choose wholefoods! @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2024/03/31/c...

My goodness, this book is changing my relationship with food already even though I'm halfway through it. My days of consuming Processed Edible Substances are coming to an end. #UltraProcessedPeople #ChrisVanTulleken #BookSky #Bookish

Nearly finished reading the three @foliosociety.bsky.social books of #dune and I'm hoping they will soon do books 4, 5 & 6 of #DuneSeries who is with me? #FolioSociety #FrankHerbert

This is how I value myself. 1. Not Appreciated - Keep my distance 2. Not invited - I don't go 3. Invited Late - Decline 4. Ignored - Stop Approaching 5. Betrayed - Forgive and move on 6. Be forgotten - Forget them 7. Insulted - Outshine with success 8. Used - Set boundaries which are firm. #Lessons

Great to have a few hours off from my caring duties so have come to my local pub for a pint and to read my book. #Book #BlueSkyBooks #Bookish #BookBlog #BookSky #Reading #FrankHerbert #50BooksAt50 #DuneSeries #dune

Play this, you cowards. #Glastonbury #The1975

A spare thirty minutes drinking some aspall cyder while reading my copy of the #FolioSociety #ChildrenOfDune by #FrankHerbert. Not a bad afternoon here in the Sunny UK. #MuchLove #Bookish #BookBlog #Reading #BookSky

I love this quote. Really helpful for people like yours truly

Normalize praising people who are living a quiet, simple life. No grand accomplishments to their name. No aspiration to become the greatest in their field. Just a human, content and loving their life

What a perfect Tuesday morning. Just had my #Nespresso order delivered so am sat outside reading the #FolioSociety edition of #ChildrenOfDune #Bookish #BookBlog #BookSky #FrankHerbert

Great to see @hilaryclarcq.bsky.social on here. Currently reading #ChildrenOfDune from #FolioSociety and the illustrations on these books are awesome. #DuneSeries #FrankHerbert #Dune

Ouch! That was not called for. My rescue cat Teddy left his mark on my wrist today.

Bit different. Dad and I are in the pub on Fathers day today.

One cannot beg the Sun for Mercy.

Morning Friends.

MORNING! #BookSky

@bluetrends.bsky.social thank you so much for the follow. Your my 20k follower

Just tuned into @lynnparsonsuk.bsky.social on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social while playing with out teddy at home in Little Aston. Awesome tunes tonight. Thank you Lynn for a brill night for this full time carer.

I wonder what the @thegodpodcast.com thinks of this... 'Much of what was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility towards life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see... 🧵

Good Morning, it's Monday again. Time to get a graft on.

Morning. Spent yesterday at Ludlow in Shropshire. Spent an hour at the amazing looking huge tap room at Ludlow Brewery. Well worth a visit.

In a world often overwhelmed by noise, birdsong is a gentle reminder that there is still harmony, still grace, still something pure to be found. It doesn't solve our problems, but it lifts us above them for a moment and brings us back to a more grounded, hopeful place within ourselves.

Wow! I don't know what I've done but I'm 16 away from 20k followers. I'm astounded and grateful as well as astounded.

Been a day today. I love my wife and I no longer work as I have to care for her. Today I have a small break from my duties and can consume a full bottle of wine for a small time while reading my book. #Book #BlueSkyBooks #Bookish #BookBlog #BookSky

Uniter 9-year old Teddy “Recently…RFK Jr. made false comments about autism, like people with autism are broken, that autism caused by vaccines, and that people with autism will never have jobs or families. But that’s not true! “I have autism & I’m not broken.” @nj.com, www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjSfAeVL/

Wow I love this. Thank you for making this @imlunahey.com its a wonderful tool.

I'm curious to know what @sentimentbot.bsky.social says about my account.
