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.

Tired of people missing the point behind Lord of the Rings 😔

A drawing of a guy looking at the Lord of the Rings trilogy and says "Wow! War is bad!" While missing the point of "you should hike with gay people and have gay sex!"

Tfw your being called unbritish because you're opposing a genocide.

Edited stills from the avengers movie.

Keir Starmer: it is unbritish to go to a protest on October 7th.

Mark Ruffalo: that's my secret chief... I'm always unbritish.

Remember that time you edited Judith Butler's guardian essays, censoring and changing the content of her writings?

Instead of trying to outdo ultimate they should do a spiritual successor to Brawl instead. Fill it with collectables, strange modes, a huge campaign and focus on the party aspect of smash bros.

Sora was announced as a playable character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate four years ago.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launched 7 years ago.

I still believe there is going to be a new Super Smash Bros. release on Switch 2 eventually.

What if the Taylor Swift album is bad on purpose as a marketing strategy so more people will listen to it?

This should be a resigning matter, no minister of health or leadership at Sandyford should be able to govern over a health service that has a waiting list of over 224 years.

The gender service at Sandyford must be abolished and replaced with primary healthcare

This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right.

I'm with alternaleaf which is pictured here, I think they're pretty great, membership is only 10 pounds a month + the price of your meds.

With the influx of new patients the only negative is it can take a few days for a pharmacist to look at your order but when that's sorted it's next day delivery.
