Today my doctor told me it will be at least another six months until I can get the surgery on the NHS.

I am not exaggerating: I will be homeless and probably dead long before then. My situation is completely dire.

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.

this is basically what it's like to be in any group that society isn't built for. with bikes it's just laid out more plainly and built into physical infrastructure

the fun thing about cycling is that if you Follow The Law™ when you are forced to ride with cars, it will probably get you killed by some inattentive driver, but if you ride in a way that is safe for you, you get branded as reckless by news org hit pieces and threatened by aggressive drivers instead

You think this is funny, but it's actually a tactical innovation.

Every time the word "bee" is ejected from the chamber, the next bullet speeds up.

I am currently on my third consecutive week of antibiotics (clarithromycin and then two doxycyclines) and I am now at the stage where I'm constantly nauseous due to gut flora dying off.

Honest to fuck this is miserable and I am so fucking fed up. The rich strangling the NHS has ruined my life.

This isn't a joke about Blunkett's impaired vision, this is me saying it's fucking notoriously authoritarian and monstrous /Blunkett/ saying it's a good idea.

"Lord Blunkett, who worked on the Blair government’s initial ID scheme 20 years ago, welcomed the decision, saying its 'time has come'."

oh well it's probably an excellent idea then, can't discern a single flaw here

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Whenever @anarchonbury.bsky.social's not on the pod, all the other podcasters should be asking, "Where's Poochie?"

Yeah, it's a really nice exploration of "Well if /I/ were god, I'd be caring and good and do everything right," and the Heart essentially saying "Yeah? Go for it."

And the worst part is Azura, who is definitely evil in an insidiously jealous and possessive way, just waiting him out.

My read is he went into it ambitious and keen to save his people from their contradictions, paid the cost of doing something he knew was wrong but could justify, then the flip side of the coin was all the contradictions couldn't be worked out even with godhood. It's not the heart, it's the project.

Yes. See this series of posts for how it went.

More and more people kept showing up, the wait time got longer and longer, and at 10:30 am I have up and left. They'd checked my vitals twice and although I feel like shit there's no sign of acute sepsis. Gonna be very wary and if I take worse call an ambulance - maybe then I'll be seen.

an arch on @anarchonbury.bsky.social · Apr 6

The thing that fucks me off is that if my infection markers are too high I'll be hospitalised, but until I'm treated they'll get higher.

All this because I've needed a surgery for months. I'm just getting sicker and sicker without it. And private costs like £6000.

Lyme can be carried by other insects unfortunately, definitely want to get prescribed the antibiotics for it out of an abundance of caution.
