You got it!

Thank youuu! My contribution as ever is super small

Once I dyed my hair red for a dance show and then the next morning did a 10k race and it was SO HOT it looked like I was sweating blood

Farmers4Justice lol

My grandpa really DID have a second secret family and they DID show up at his funeral, which was the first time anyone in his non secret first family was aware of their existence. It was *brilliant*, hands down my fave funeral occurrence

I read this whole article and it was deeply deeply distressing and just shows how truly dangerous anyone's experience of the Internet can be...I feel like if otherwise loving mothers can be radicalised to allow their babies to die then any of us can be radicalised to do anything

Currently on Monstrous Regiment. I've done a series reread, started with the Death books, then the Watch then the Witches, and now I'm on the one offs!

HUGE Pratchett fan here, currently on a reread

Bumble. My friend is gay and she said Hinge was great for lesbians but I found the straight men on there to be overtly and aggressively sexual in their first messages. I liked the Bumble 'women message first' thing as a woman looking for a man because I could more easily set the tone

Yes I met my current lovely partner on an app in 2022 and we are still a going concern three and a half years later :) Both in our 40s, both with a marriage behind us. We're just very nice to each other

There was one of these AI banner scenes up near me for Halloween but instead of (presumably) Happy Halloween it said Happawelloween and me and the kids kept saying it to each other all through October

I got into gardening this year in a BIG (read: autistic) way, and I have become OBSESSED with soil. There is a microorganism in soil that is a legit antidepressant, it's fascinating. And this antibiotic news is just bolstering my soil special interest

100 PERCENT thats why i need to be on anti anxiety meds to sleep

And its not that i dont get anxious anymore, its that i can stop a thought spiral in a way i couldnt before, and also i can almost guarantee that when i hit the pillow i am flat out in minutes so i dont have time to think think think

Really sorry for your loss xx

Ok nice will hopefully see you there!

Just seen it, I would like to but it depends what time it goes on till as I have a family thing that day. Are you going?

Thank you! It's always so nice to connect to other ARFID parents because it can be quite lonely I find
