Kind of mad that Ghost covered Jesus he knows me by Genesis yet didn’t really do much with the potential. That song with those lyrics could go so hard

What are they doing with the Santa oil. What are they doing with the Santa oil they collect on his feast day.

There’s this weird niche on twitter of vaguely rw women in their late 50’s who write posts about Christmas shopping being stressful or complaining about the weather, with an unrelated ‘accidental’ photo of their thighs or braless tits in a tight jumper and they are always ‘happily married, no DMs’

Missed the phone referral deadline for going to the crisis cafe service today so just making do with instant coffee & existential angst at home. Admittedly you only get 45 minutes counselling per session, and I’d have had to put ‘appropriate for leaving the house’ clothing on

Still haven’t told the rabidly evangelical relative my mum died as cannot stomach the endless barrage of religion I’ll get as response. Or that they’ll try to insist on a church service my mum never wanted and i can’t afford

Hi! I'm someone who has the audacity to be brown and autistic on the Internet, and I wrote this piece because I'm also too audacious to care about whether I make certain people uncomfortable. It's not about you! But if you THINK it's about you, then it most definitely is. Hope this helps!
Hapworth's autistic sense of justice never strays far from her side, but was suspiciously absent when Hapworth was accused of being racially insensitive, leading many to believe it had wandered off.
Missing! “Autistic sense of justice” nowhere to be found when it’s time to talk about race
A woman’s "autistic sense of justice" has been reported missing after it failed to appear when it was time to talk about racism in the autistic community, sources have said. Beth Hapworth, 26, uses…

Idk if it remained part of autism diagnosis but having ‘struggles to form and maintain close friendships and relationships’ as not just a criteria but emphasised in my assessment report felt and feels a lot like a terrible curse. Especially as it clearly doesn’t hold true for other autistic people

This whole article is a bit of a disaster. And it's very difficult to find other published work for the author. Strange! 🧪

Going to have to do the “I really dislike the shortened version of my name, I know you don’t know because we never had a conversation where you asked if it was ok and i wasn’t brave enough to nip it in the bud before but it’s been years you’ve called me it and i can’t stand it anymore” conversation

Cat has beaten my lower legs up with the campest limp legged soft paw slaps possible. This appears to be his best effort at emotional support, by being as ridiculous as possible

Someone I know posted some clips of their cat just titled Tinsel Licker* which has stuck in my brain.
I so wish I had musical ability because that would be the name of my sinister sleazy electronica project

Tbh, the ‘good hiding’ and being shouted at to pull myself together therapy I (and others) had a lot of might also have lead to a bit of a drugs cascade
On balance I’d rather have had the adhd meds earlier in life with bonus of happier earlier memories of my parents/teachers/other kids etc
