Just realised if I do fix my shit enough to get into lifting/strongfolk stuff, I should absolutely go for tyre flip as my signature event given I've been training since I was 18 months old and trying to help my next-door neighbour who was a mechanic 🤣

Risky thing to say on a Green Party quote but I think we should put the nuclear plant back actually
(If the site could be used for solar or wind or whatever then ideal, but I'm sure we'd all prefer a cleaner, safer power power source over a noisy and polluting power sink)

The proposals at Chapelcross will make it the largest data centre in the world. At its peak, it could be consuming the same amount of electricity as more than 2 million homes.
Chapelcross cannot be built. The Government and Dumfries & Galloway Council must reject it.

They literally prescribe cannabis for ADHD these days and yet people are still surprised when I say things like "yeah I wandered round my flat for 5 minutes carrying a plate since my brain wanted me to put it in the shower rather than the sink, because I Wasn't high"

Idk it's just fucking wild to be told your entire life that you suck at communicating and you just need to try harder and be better at people?
Only to grow up, find reasonable people and discover I was doing it right the whole fucking time and my family are just insane

I say this as a higher-than-i-thought support needs autistic:
Surely there has to be a middle ground between "autistic kids in ABA or Special Schools" and "autistic kids in mainstream education with So-Called Accomodations", where we learn How neurotypicals work without having to work that way too

You better rise up, Janet Weiss 💪
Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Once again begging for a functioning healthcare system where I can wander up to a clinic & go "hello, I have a chest infection and my lungs are full of goop, can I have some salbutamol pls" and they can check my records and see I've had the same thing for the same symptoms before & send me on my way

The cruellest part of using a VPN is being advertised piles of cheese at 40% off...that I cannot access because I am not actually in the Netherlands.

I didn't think I'd ever dare have a Take™ on the "gen-z stare" but the more stories I hear about what it's like to be a frontline service worker in the USA particularly? I'm not fucking surprised that the 16-25yos you're putting through that are all developing thousand-yard stares.

I regret to inform you I have once again taken my glasses off and walked into a wall.
"Why have my hip and shoulder been so fucking angry at me last few nights?" maybe all the fucking stretching and lifting, ya dingus.

(I keep getting into a decent routine and balancing my spoons for a few weeks and going "I feel great I should start working out properly again" so I do that for a week. and then I remember.
"Why am I wearing these glasses I can see fine [takes off glasses & walks into a wall]" level behaviour)

Independently of the context, people should not be attending a concert where the owner of the venue tells the musicians what they can play. Otherwise we will go back to the feudal ages.

Today's minor chronic illness meltdown: friend casually complained about being bored and I went "oh god can I swap you I haven't been able to be bored in years and I miss it dearly"
Like I am so overwhelmed and exhausted that I can't remember what boredom feels like and *I have ADHD*

Honestly the fucking gall of the NHS to put me through everything it has, only to then turn around and censor the records in order to not "cause significant mental distress" when I try to access my own information.

This is clearly Have I Got Diagnostic News For You and I need to hear what sort of horrible things Ian Hislop has to say about my past

So I have various Opinions on how heavily my own medical records have to be redacted before I can see them, but it does lead to some fucking hilarious snippets.
If I figure out what they're referring to here, do I get a checkbook and pen?

They should make a HWMonitor for humans, I bet I could function a lot better if I had actual readouts of my body's internal sensors
that said I'm not sure my immune system could cope with the recent malware injection

(Incidentally I say "we" here because I know I'm guilty of this and I'm sharing steps that both help me feel better and helped me do better, for the wellbeing of all us Traumatised AuDHD Cripples (and everyone else who identified with this vibe but not that exact word!)
Having just had a kind word with a loved one about this I would like to have a still-kind-but-more-general word about it here, BC I know I am also not immune to this:
