Our heat pump is great but Octopus tariff for it has been a massive pain in the arse. There are so many different time periods with different prices meaning things are changed around like eating time.
I’m hoping I get used to it over time but it’s making my autistic “I need routine“ brain unhappy

Got through 6 books on my week off 💪 2 are YA so were relatively quick to get through to be fair.
The Black Hunger was my favourite of the 6 but way too scary to read while on a plane.

I’m sure this carpet looks lovely in other settings, but for stairs it’s a bit of a death trap.
I’m somewhat stereoblind so I struggle with judging distance on stairs at the best of times.

Doing the jury service feedback survey and I’ve never seen age asked like this before, I wonder what the reasoning is

So I asked this as a poll on mastodon and the clear result seems to be “it depends” - the classic answer to any accessibility question (folks could pick multiple options so won’t add up to 100%)

Made this roll top backpack in a sewing workshop yesterday, very proud of it. In a world determined to break us down it’s good to create, even if it’s something small and just for you.

I’m not sure if I’m being over sensitive, and if you don’t want to use maps in your games that’s fine, but I don’t like the tone of this message from the Hell Is Us demo. Maps are often an accessibility aid for neurodivergent folks inc myself and this just sounds condescending.
