I spent many years in my local youth council, working with the Scottish Youth Parliament and to a lesser extent the UKYP, and the biggest takeaway from that for me is just how little interest the adults in government have in young people or their opinions. I had really hoped things had changed. 😔

UK Youth Parliament looks set to be axed

Some say scrapping the parliament for 11 to 18-year-olds would be a blow for democracy, while others say it is overdue.

Buying toys, collecting things, playing Zelda, taking up crafts we couldn't afford when I was a kid.

What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.

What this doesn't say is that some bastard on twitter has been claiming they've planted a b*mb in the school my kids go to, and the school have said exactly fuck all. I'm 99.999% sure this is a hoax but if the school isn't going to address it then I'm not taking the chance of sending them in.

I still haven't recovered from the Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary Direct. The new Ocarina of Time footage. I actually fucking *wept*

Just been to see Trainspotting in the cinema since I was too young the first time around - it has entirely rekindled my absolute adoration of Ewen Bremner. 😍

This just reminded me that in the last episode when they're all leaving Spanish Jackie's, Frenchie always reminds me of Phil Lynott for some reason. 😂

This new Izzy discourse is gonna keep me awake all night thinking about everything that's so fucking wrong about it, I just know it. I have SO MANY thoughts and no motivation to type them out. 😅

Um..........wat? 😳 (This isn't a criticism, I've just literally never read anything where that was her name and I'm very confused)

It's 15.08 and I *just* remembered it's my wedding anniversary. 💀 Guess I REALLY got that out of my system.

Nobody knows the art of filmmaking and comedy better than Mel Brooks. To have him select both “Ed Wood” and “Dolemite is my Name” as two of his favorite films of all time is an honor my brain can’t quite comprehend. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I'm going out of mind waiting on test results, bestie is in the local hospital waiting on an MRI because her brain is being weird, niece is going for an EEG. I need everyone to behave please. ✋️

tumblr is having a great one about this, little masterpiece of a post I'd say

OH. I just discovered the guy who did this is the same guy who wrote a DM article diagnosing Jason Arday with Pseudologia Fantastica, which was published the day he died. Istg he better be struck off.

I watched the Channel 4 thing. I'm fucking ✨️seething✨️ Previously they've also had programmes claiming the Dyslexia doesn't really exist and that Autism is just the extreme male brain, so I wasn't expecting much. However this was way worse than I feared.

If you watched it and were also angry, ADHD UK have a response, a survey, and a template for making a complaint to Ofcom.
