Date Everything is one of the most unhinged games... but I'm absolutely loving running around, flirting with pieces of furniture and abstract concepts, while @bendiskin.bsky.social occasionally pops up to drip feed info as a conspiratorial guide.
Total, blissful madness.

And another little gripe of mine, why are no wedding venues indicating whether they're wheelchair/disability friendly?
It's all well and good showing me pictures of the fireplace up close, or the decorations, if I don't know whether I'll even be able to get IN to your venue to appreciate them #ciad

Lives are being “ruined” by a “consciously cruel” social security system in the UK.
Amnesty collaborated with more than 700 benefit claimants and advisors for its new report which has found “severe human rights violations” at the heart of the system.

UK's 'cruel' benefits system is 'ruining lives', Amnesty report finds
Amnesty is urging the DWP to stop its plans for benefit cuts – as the social security system is already 'violating human rights'.

8.8 million people in the UK experience anxiety or depression each week. Just 361,000 get PIP for it. PIP isn’t for the ‘worried well’—it’s for those with serious, disabling illness. Labour knows this. They’re counting on the public not to. #WelfareNotWarfare #DisabilityBenefits

My #OCD has been crippling me over the past few weeks, and the stress has caused a #fibro flare, far beyond my baseline pain.
I can't believe I was ever lucky enough to have such a long period without obsessions or compulsions at this level. I'm at least grateful to know this might not last forever.
