I read the thread, you came straight out and admitted it was a rubbish take. I don't like all the dunking either, doesn't make for any kind of helpful or supportive discourse (why I left Twitter in the first place). Just wanted to offer a metaphorical hug!

I would second the angel makers, absolutely fascinating!

Thanks Sue, I left X ages ago, but have never quite managed to recreate the OT network I followed there!

Slowly the poison the whole bloodstream fills, the waste remains, the waste remains and kills

folksy.com/shops/kayais... this is my daughter's ceramics shop, mugs for the gen z in your life!

This fucking country is definitely better than Gavin and Stacey 😂

Turns out I know @jonnelledge.bsky.social better than he knows himself as I got this joke first time round!

10% weight bearing

Brittany Spears hit toxic is about supervet Noel Fitzpatrick (makes me like both more!)

I'd like to give that comment a like, but it seems bad taste for a serious point well made!

I made my Polish partner watch Threads, apparently TV viewing in martial law controlled Poland was more fun in the 80s than what the BBC was serving up!

The war of Jenkins ear is the dumbest war!

My worry is that being listed is not very helpful! I'm pretty sure I would be listed as the person I care for is on the surgery LD register, but I have not been offered any services (not even a free flu jab!). Accurate counting becomes the target (probably useful for Palantir, but me so much!)

I'm an OT in a neighborhood team (in it's current iteration) and an unpaid carer, can't see why being on a register would be of benefit either as a clinician or a carer!

Two non-fiction recommendations; The Wager, an amazing story of shipwreck, mutiny and the all-round mad pointlessness of 18th century naval warfare, and Murderland, an environmental and societal consideration of America's mid century serial killer problem.
Fiction I'd also go with Ministry of Time!

Hilda says she looks like family 😂

I'd never heard of her! Lovely thank you

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I just tried and it still seems broken😭

I'm a child of the 70s and 80s too and do not recognise OPs anecdote as being anything like my childhood or my parents lives, maybe her parents were quietly drug running!
