Apologies for the poor sentence planning, am too busy giggling at my dad

My dad is encouraging my family to watch something on Netflix because it features an Irish psychopath, because presumably because Irish psychopaths are the only psychopaths worth our attention

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Yet to see any acrobatics but the bundling is fun so far!

We're watching Physical: Asia and it is literally just lots of people doing a bundle as was compulsory in British secondary schools in the 90s except probably with less Brut Aquatonic

Having scrolled down I stand by my statement, providing it looks exactly as happy as that one

Bless our dear departed Skodas. Ours was called Peawock (not a typo) for reasons involving his numberplate and an extremely weird dream Derek had

Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.

Inigo πŸ’”. My little Skoda Fabia got crushed to death by a terrifying machine in Morecambe and I'm sad even thinking about it. He was Benson and Hedges gold, had moss growing on him, and the radio batteries fell off when we went over cattle grids. Such a lovely boy.

Understandable. Wrong Fork is a shady little bastard

It's similar mechanisms isn't it. Complete denial of identity. TERFs believe you can un-trans people and she believes you can un-autistic people. It's the same dogma. I unfortunately know a TERF academic and when she started trying to do autism research I was horrified but not at all surprised.

This is so deeply uninformed. But saints alive I've just looked up her bio. She should know so much better than this!

I feel we could come to some kind of mutually beneficial arrangement because I am a fan of big spoons but remain ambivalent to medium ones.

This is the sign of a civilised mind and I thoroughly support it. Similarly in my house we have Wrong Fork, which I will not use.

I do find it funny that people think they can attack the autistic community and emerge unscathed

Genuinely feeling sorry for a jigsaw piece but yes we're overdiagnosing autism in adult women
