Dear All I'm AWOL, sorry. Virus made me quite ill + dealing with the DWP = also really ill. My head is a mess, my stomach is a mess, I keep melting down & dissociating. I'm generally in no fit state to be awake. Normal rat service will resume when things/I are stable again. Meanwhile; Tyr. xxx

We definitely all fit in here. ~ All The Boys Snuggly Raturday everyone! #RatsOfBluesky #RatRitz #PetRats #RescueRats #Raturday

My little Boo is making a comeback. Her PT meds have kicked in and she's feeling SO MUCH BETTER! She's eating well and using her hands again 😊 She's on quite the cocktail of meds now! #RatsOfBluesky #RatRitz #PetRats #RescueRats

uk.news.yahoo.com/disability-b... Oh dear. The Court found the Government(s) here misled us about why they were 'reforming' disability benefits. It wasn't to encourage better quality of life for disabled people. It was to save the Government money. Lots of money. By forcing ppl into poverty?

Ahhh ... my little Boo has PT symptoms today 😞 Vets tomorrow for some meds. Please cross your fingers that she has a good response! 🤞 #RatsOfBluesky #RatRitz #PetRats #RescueRats

Whilst these of course are meant as satire, goodness me there's some truth in them. Glad to be part of so many teams who are working hard to change this.

Time for #SquirrelTax collection! 🌰🐿️ #squirrel

Shoutout to my fellow autistics who cannot wear headphones because hypersensitivity to touch means you can't tolerate them or anything else being on your head! I see you. I also hear you 😉

You’re still autistic if you don’t like noise canceling headphones

Best friends Berry and Fizzgig ❤️ They like to do everything together so they will both be going to the Vet next week even though it's only Fizzy who needs an appointment (he seems to be having what I suspect is a thyroid issue). #RatsOfBluesky #RatRitz #PetRats #RescueRats

Thank you everyone for the condolences on the loss of Curly-Bobs. My heart aches and it will for a while because he's left a very big hole in it, but I know my other ratty friends will do their best to fill it up again, and so on we go.

I like this new research. For decades, teams said that autistic people can't understand that people have minds & opinions of their own. ('Theory of Mind') (sigh). There's been a lot of pushback about this e.g. Damian Milton's work. Now, there's even more. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

My Curly-Bobs has left me and I'm gutted. Bye Curly, my big ol' goofball, I hope you still get to bounce around like a fool wherever you've ended up. 😭 #RatsOfBluesky #RatRitz #PetRats #RescueRats

I swear I've never spent so much of my time asking what the fuck is wrong with people as I have this week. Please note: I'm too old for this shit. Stop it.
