Yes, we have some serious problems in the UK, but at least we didn't make Jimmy Savile Prime Minister after he'd attempted a coup against the state and then let him appoint all his creepy mates to plum government jobs before attempting to destroy the international political order

Woke up feeling relaxed and not in acute pain for the first time in maybe a month today. Incredible how much of an difference that makes. Might even get a decent amount of work done today.

A rather lofty #FoxOfTheDay today , shared by Angela Douglas on Facebook !

Proofreading is important in academic work. This morning I am reading a piece from a learner who was trying to say “going for a small walk each day improves mental health.” However they wrote “going for a small war each day improves mental health.”

A fuck-off-long hose and someone with incredible sucking power.

Especially for London! “Hey what time does this concert kick out?” “Half eleven.” “Okay cool. When’s the last train for my town leaving Liverpool Street?” “Eleven o’clock.”

Makes no sense that the Russians can compete. Aside from the war they’re waging, the abuse of their athletes (doping and otherwise) shouldn’t be tolerated, for the Russian athletes themselves as much as anything else.

Arrrggghhh got a text from the GP saying my meds need to be reviewed and they really don’t. The combination I’m on is a little unusual but it’s currently the best choice for me. Someone at the surgery seems to have seen the combination and had a panic attack without checking my notes/care plan. 😒

A story in three parts of me and the dog getting dive bombed by ducks.

The winter Paralympics are amazing but out of context do look like abuse. “We’ve got these people who we’re gonna throw down a mountain on a thin bits of fibre glass.” … … … “Also they’re blind.”

I hope I’m not the only one. Whenever I email my mum, I don’t start typing her name, I start with “m”. Like her email address is gonna be [email protected]

NHS executives are having secret meetings with Palantir, while the doctors who actually make the NHS work are protesting. We need to get Palantir out. If you want to be a whistleblower message email hw4fp.uk@protonmail.com, or say no to Palantir 👇 https://goodlaw.social/78a31e

A reminder that the Japanese ambassador to the UK is adorable and we need to make sure we can keep him.

He’s got a point.

Right well I’m not sure how that presentation went. Mental health problems mean I always assume I’ve failed miserably at stuff like that. But they don’t seem to recoil in horror at any point so… and anyways at least I’ve done it when I was thinking of ways to back out of it yesterday.

Trump is the only one with the cantaloupes to be able to shit himself on national television.

If you need to smile this morning, this post is in itself great, and the replies are 🤌🏻

Unless you have ADHD and then it’s a fun button and I wanna hit it just to see how much I can fuck shit up.

Walk Off For and the Lady Balls is a good band name.

Having to practice a presentation I need to give tomorrow. I feel like such a knob talking to myself like this. 😩

I was had fire training lead by a guy who proudly announced his easy to remember acronym based off of “Fire Action and Prevention”. He trained roomfuls of NHS staff that he would make things so much safer by insisting we ask each other “Have you FAPed this morning?” He had no idea.

Currently in an ongoing conversation with the lovely admin for one of my teaching roles where they feel certain they owe me money and I don’t believe they do. I’m not sure who is doing capitalism wrong but I think it might be both of us.

Important questions on the local Facebook page this evening.

He did identify a giraffe once though.

1. Took my meds 2. Spoke to a therapist 3. Rearranged my working life to suit me cos arranging it to suit organisations had never done me any good 4. Sought solace to my long-term friends. For a while there my mind insisted they didn’t want anything to do with me but it was lying. They’re good folks

Thrilled to report that 🎶face, hands, genitals, knees, and toes 🎶 made its way back to my manager. In isolation. Just the rhyme. No context. Good job we’ve been working together long enough that she’s accepted her fate with me. 🤣

There’s just so much idiocy to unpack in this one. Lemme kick us off with these images of western civilisation and the constant and continual worshipping at the alter of Christianity which has always been so central to its identity./s

Perfectly put by the brilliant @iandunt.bsky.social

Drop something red ✨❤️

Kinda but I was way too old to be in primary school at that point (or even high school). We peaked with Spice Girls in primary school. But that was an excellent peak.

This is very much how it feels to be the ADHD one within a bright friendship group.

Is it possible for a quote to have aged badly,before someone even said it?

I briefly worked with a woman who thought to “jack someone off” was a minced oath meaning to piss someone off and I wonder how she is getting on sometimes… and if/how she was corrected.

I’m not a podcast kinda girl but “clutching at more straws than a masturbating scarecrow” is going right in the repertoire.

No body panic. But I think I might have completed all my meetings and phone calls for today. I can do my actual job for a few hours now.

The amount of security checks I have to pass through to access computer systems, massively overestimates other people’s motivation to do my work for me.

It appears I once again have to function today. That’s the third time this week.

Okay.

Eat bollocks every morning to own the libs.

Dropped a berry yoghurt on a cream carpet, which made it look like I’d killed someone. Got to work scrubbing it up so it didn’t stain. Now have an entirely new problem: I have an exceptionally clean bit of carpet which is making the rest look bad by comparison.

No really. Spotify is just throwing word together.

Dolly is an icon and obviously this is a wonderful thing to do, so all power to her perpetually, but healthcare shouldn’t be provided based on whether or not celebrities are philanthropic enough to help out. This should be normal.

Using dictation in Word to do my coursework is definitely speeding it up but I can’t eat mini eggs as I work. This is a considerable problem.

Banning all viagra to protect sacred infertility. It’s clearly what God wants.
