Not sure I qualify for #DuvetKnowItsChristmas now the Thomas the Tank Engine wallpaper has been replaced. But here is my cat settling down for the night. She just found the hot water bottle mum left for us. I don't think she will give up the bed easily.

Why are bodies so much work. You have to feed them the right things at the right times, exercise them and rest them, keep them clean. Then after doing all that they still break down on you.

Rewatching Stargate SG1 and something that never occured to me when I was younger is how autistic coded Daniel Jackson is. He is: 1) very hyper focused on his special interest 2) highly moral with a strong sense of injustice 3) terrible with people and social situations.

Uegh the man opposite me on the train has his phone so loud I can hear it through noise cancelling headphones and music. I think people at the other end of the carriage can hear as well.

Hmm I wonder why an all female space flight is attracting so much hate when similar flights are usually completely ignored. Yes it was a corporate stunt and a few of the passengers are complete imbeciles but that doesn't make it open season on the crew of the flight (which was in fact all female).

I can believe this result. ME services in the NHS are terrible. I had a good experience relative to lots of people. My GP and the ME clinic were sympathetic but just didn't have anything useful to offer. For others their medical care has been actively harmful.

Want to know WHO these sick & disabled ppl who lose their benefits are going to be? By primary condition, up to: 90% of cancer patients 86% of people with MS 84% of those with serious psychiatric disorders 74% of stroke survivors 56% of claimants with cerebral palsy Do these sound trivial to you?

Really handy guide to writing good alt text for images you share.

Just cooked dinner in the air fryer. It beeped to say it had done. Took the food out and it was cold. That's when it dawned on me I'd turned on the empty side not the side with my food in!!

Hmm I wonder why Neville Chamberlain is so high in the suggestions!!

Most of my energy budget today was used by getting up, getting breakfast. Have been reclined since but still burning through points. Either I'm coming down with something or about crash hard. Pacing is supposed to be the answer to all our problems but the slightest thing can make it impossible #ME

On Thursday, the US Food and Drug Administration approved suzetrigine for short-term pain management, making it the first non-opioid pain drug given a regulatory nod in more than 20 years. https://go.nature.com/40SKITt

I was a bad cat mum today. I ran out of Dreamies!! My attempt to explain this did not go down well. Do not fear I have restocked and apology Dreamies have been dispensed.

Lol I'd block them but I needed a good laugh this evening.

Realised I haven't looked at that other site in weeks. Have just about completely replaced it here. So now it's gone. Failbook is harder because so many people I know only use that and there isn't an alternative that fulfils the same function.

So this is how far my Christmas tree has got after 2 weeks. I kind of like this minimal look but not because I've not been well enough to decorate it.

Meanwhile my inbox has been absolutely flooded with personal attacks and things like photos of dogs shitting. All because I said something that mildly supported Labour. It seems Bluesky is destined to go the way of other place very fast.

Had a two day meeting for work last week. Took Friday off so I had three days to rest and I'm still in a crash today. I love my job but at the moment it's taking up all my energy. #pwME

You might know me. You might not. But the most important thing to know about me is the cats name is Missy #proofofcat
