A little about me

I'm older than AOL

I sew things for fun, and for a job too

I've had many jobs in the past and lived in different parts of the UK

I'm a licenced ham radio operator, but not very active
Profile pic was originally a joke about waiting for replies to CQs with a very poor antenna

white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the
stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku
prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who
presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't
agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly
advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute
misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering
than outright rejection."

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 ...🧵

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome

Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed

This is a complete joke. Neurodivergence is still massively under diagnosed in the UK. Pretty much every expert in the field recognises this.

They’re about to do to ADHD meds what Cass did to trans kids. Be very afraid.

Simon Wessely — the controversial psychiatrist once dubbed “Britain’s most hated doctor” has been appointed vice chair of Labour’s review into overdiagnosis of mental health and neurodivergence.

Rhianna Pratchett @rhi.bsky.social · 2d

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

Sewing machines taught them how to become sentient

neongrey @neongrey.bsky.social · 3d

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

WHO WILL YOU SAVE isn't just a collection of short stories, it's a buffet of characters that have been cooked to perfection by a word chef

My eyes devoured the book and my mind is still digesting a few days after finishing this literary feast
