My new hobby is asking Irish people what they think of House of Guinness. Especially what they think of James Norton’s accent.

All 25% of me that is Irish has strong opinions, but I lack the full 100% to be as colourfully descriptive in expressing them.

This is a great example of why capitalism is so destructive and dangerous. It exploits everything for profit - human labour, animal welfare, less powerful businesses, and ultimately leads to enshittification of the end product. But yay, shareholder value, right?

You knows what’s great? When a doctor says that the drugs will help, and they do. Really quickly. I already feel so much better on just two doses. Wtaf!

This is such a good thread. Thank you, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for using your platform to support everyone who is living with this awful condition. Hopefully we are moving closer to better treatment.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Had a truly wonderful hospital experience today. All the staff who dealt with me were women of roughly my age. There might be a connection between these two statements.

Absolutely love this story. It just gets better and better. Living in a hotel is goals.

What an absolute banger, though.

I may do violence to the next person who tells me that freshers flu and Covid are doing the rounds in Bristol. I am fully aware of this, thank you.

My youngest and I may appear to be moody mean girls, but we can also have an intense conversation about our favourite Greek gods. And I love that.

My kids say that my gluten free foods taste like sadness. Luckily I’ve pretty much forgotten how real bread and other baked goods should taste. But yes, please find a cure so I can stop paying five whole English pounds for the only GF croissant that doesn’t have the texture of wood chipping.

Had a bite of a gluten free brownie and folks we gotta cure celiac disease.

If America is going to send all their immigrants ‘home’, who gets Trump - Germany or Scotland?

Ageing seems to primarily involve more food getting stuck between your teeth and your joints whining, often audibly, when you move.

Personally, I don’t think we should take any advice from a man who looks like an enraged scrotum.

There are many things that you can’t control. But focus on what’s your most powerful asset that you CAN control. And it’s your spending money. Be intentional. Don’t feed the pockets of those who don’t like you. Financial boycott is power!

God, this country is such bad vibes. It’s poisoned with all the suffering it has inflicted on the world for centuries. The damp air is infused with hate and pain and that deep British fear of joy.

I too hate the humidity and dampness. Planning a trip to Luxor which is apparently the least humid place on earth.

Really enjoyed my little rant into the ether that was my explanation as to why I was cancelling my Disney subscription. Other than that, what a shitty day.

Thing is, we need a strong and unified team to stop the fascist fuckwittery - both in this country, and globally. Which makes the bullshit that Your Party is doing infuriating.

My god, aging does indeed fucking suck as bad as I thought it would. I truly am in the FO stage of far too much frolicking in my youth. No regrets but could do with a bit of a break now please.
