and also my cousins’ kid asked me if he could have some skittles and I said he had to ask his parents first. He went through to them and told me he said he could have a few, everyone got skittles. His mum came through and said he wasn’t allowed them and I didn’t tell on him.
oh god we are here on this holiday and one of my cousin’s boys is picking on my son and so he’s miserable and behaving worse - what do i do?
I'm going to risk washing into the fraught discourse about Long Covid, because I have skin in the game. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia on 2012, but in retrospect it's obvious I'd been ill for decades (often the case.) I pushed back *hard* against the label, because I had, after much research,

Today I am going to walk up the Pentlands, my trusty Cloud by my side. Photos to follow.
57 people have died in the chaotic scenes on the Spanish border with Morocco. After 50,000 people entered Spain from Morocco, over 9/10 (approx 96%) have returned to Morocco
Jorge Liboreiro@jorgeliboreiro.bsky.social · 5d agoUpdate: over 48,300 people have returned from Ceuta to Morocco. About 1,700 people are still in Ceuta.
this is me being smart/casual for a smart/casual event I am now poised gracefully on the smart-casual spectrum
Poor Cloud is not herself. She was whimpering yesterday, she‘s not today and she’s eating and drinking but somethings off. I’ve called the vet and they’ll give me a call back soon, hopefully.

I really want to believe a badger made this sign then placed it at the campsite up the road from me, solely because it gets high from being an agent of chaos.
This is like 2020 twitter. This is *weird* I feel like Ive wandered into a lost tribe.
Oh my goodness, some intolerance, what can it be - look away now or forever be damned by sin
I wish the Conservatives were as alarmed as I am about them finishing *behind Restore* in the Greater Manchester byelection.
Burnham has just been elected, this is the honeymoon period, and this is where the country stands.
Sarah Murphy@13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · 5d agoReform scores hat trick of losses in Manchester despite the hype, the polling and the noise around Farage. Over to you now, Clacton. Deal the killer blow and vote Count Binface in August. The country could do with the laugh. And without that grifting loser. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Jay Zedbee@jayzedbee.bsky.social · 5d agoagain, genuinely, i spent months hearing how labour was in the dumps and britain is ungovernable and farage was inevitable and everything was doomed when it was obvious that the issue is that the public just knew starmer was shit because starmer is shit
You know, I would say of all the ways to study bones, studying them without the patriarchal assumption of maleness would be the best way. Or at least in the top ten.
Ali@astromaker.bsky.social · 5d agoBut also for the 'genes don't determine sex' crowd. And I suspect (but could be wrong, too little detail in the article) that the bones, if studied without the patriarchal assumption of maleness, might also be found to indicate a female sex.
sometimes the thought crosses my mind of using an LLM to suggest a scene for a novel. It's so helpful at eg finding a restaurant near a tube station or how to return a faulty item. But even READING one of its stupid poorly-argued ideas for my book wd feel like someone vomiting on a holy shrine.
