Kid has an eye for observation. However, mum's expressions in the background are what sent me...
Do try to remember that the EHRC guidance only affects service providers and not employment, so if you work somewhere where there are toilets or changing rooms for employees that aren’t open to the public then your employers are wrong if they try to stop you from using facilities for your gender
I would call every member of BTS a smelly virgin to their perfect faces before I slagged off Sir Pterry
So, today I had a first session with a MSK physiotherapy clinic, and as far as I can tell, the initial consultation is carefully crafted to ensure the maximum amount of awkward for an autistic bloke who is experiencing a certain degree of body consciousness as he consolidates into middle age ...a 🧵:
Just bought the average age of the folk waiting for physio outpatient clinic down by a good two decades. (Still feel ancient and decrepit)
Indulging in a little fusion cooking for my lunch. Why yes, I am putting hoisin sauce into my brie and ham sandwich. That counts damnit.
Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.
Mum's sent me this picture of her car wheel on their gravel driveway. How very dull.
There are five people on this track, who will all die if you do nothing. However if you pull a lever, you can divert the train so it will hit five different people but also a flock of swa...

My train to Glasgow is having to terminate at Preston due to *swans* on the line. Yes, really. 🦢 (Luckily I’m getting off at Preston)
Happy Monday to everyone but especially to Richard Tice bwahahaha
Amelia's art is whimsical and pretty, and will make your home nicer just by being in it.
Friends… please can you share? I’m starting to put some art up for sale to pay for my louche year of painting (and grieving, let’s face it cos that’s what’s at the root of all this, I think) - and would love to find some nice homes for my art #artforsale #starvingartist #watercolour #bsnm #nature
Mrs C: cats aren't allowed on the bed Also Mrs C: cats aren't allowed on the bed, UNLESS there's a cat blanket thrown over the bed. Also Mrs C: cats aren't allowed on the bed without a cat blanket on it, UNLESS he's perfectly snoozey and snuggling your jumper, Al.
Free dopamine: look at this enormouse domesticated leopard and also his very many huge colleagues who have been posted in the replies.
have u ever seen such a lad
My estimate is "over a hundred". That's assuming you have little to no interest in almost any of the facts being true.
Well now I'm intrigued. How many otter facts - true or otherwise - can you cram into an hour?
Today is Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. Around 500,000 Roma & Sinti people were killed by the Nazis in the Porajmos. There was no state given to them after the war. Commemoration of their suffering is often diminished or forgotten. Racism towards Romani people across Europe remains acceptable.
Officium domesticum delendum est, and all that.
Monique Hawkins, acting chief executive of the3million, said the impact of the Home Office’s retrospective review was devastating for many. "People applied to the EU settlement scheme in good faith...by building their lives in the UK and putting down roots." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Brb gotta let Mrs C know that I have a new crush.
Sounds like otter chaos.
I talk relatively infrequently about my time in clinical services, for obvious reasons (confidentiality). This lot came tumbling out today in response to a @samfr.bsky.social post re longer term impacts of school closures during covid, though. Literally felt my BP and pulse spike writing it.
Working in CAMHS, it was startling. For the first two months, many young people who'd been struggling at school were doing great - no daily battle to go in, no stress about attendance or appointments. That was the brief honeymoon; then we had an uptick in concerns about kids who were suddenly...
Picked up Xan from the cattery... They provided us with two printed portraits of him they'd taken of him while he was with them. I don't know if that's normal for catteries but damn, I'm here for it! 😍
Anyone want to visit the Swedish Natural History Museum on an election day...? 👉👈
The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.
Got some foraged plums. Gonna stick them in the icebox overnight, sure do hope nobody eats them before I get to them.
