It’s been an every hour or less night tonight and oh gods it’s tedious. I wouldn’t mind so much if I could sleep later but I’m due to call my nibbling exactly when my body will give up and want to crash.

I’m glad you’re upfront about it.
I’m not glad you’re using something which is incredibly environmentally unsound as well as having the reliability issues you mentioned dealing with. Personally I’d rather leave a world for my child and not ”capture the zeitgeist” so immediately.

yup. And in my case, not lying in one which feels comfortable *right now* but I know from experience will put me in agony later.
But sometimes, when every other position hurts, oh gods, it’s tempting to lie on my side and say to hell with the jaw, and now also spine, issues this causes.,,

Seriously been there myself, lovely. I’m slightly improved currently. Well. Usually. But I did have a few years of wondering how and why i was still alive, and how old my son would need to be to make losing me not too traumatic.

Oh he did complain to someone that he keeps doing the same thing and getting the same response. Like. I’m pretty sure there’s a quotation about that…

Using ChatGPT to compile articles? I’d hoped the byline times was better than that.

I had the vaccine for pertussis. I still got the illness (my immune system has always been shit, what can I say) but my parents are convinced that without the vaccine, I would have been another of those deaths.
This hurts on a really personal level.

Oh, bless you, reading this story has made me so happy. Hurrah for coming out and living as who you are, and for supportive moms, and last but not least, looking awesome in pretty dresses :)

Cos trans people are icky. And might pollute the Real Boys (capital letters obligatory).

Trans girls shouldn’t be allowed to do anything because they’re shameful, trans boys should be forced to do girl things so they realise they’re girls, enbies should be ignore or mocked until they stop.

When you’re so out of it recovering from a migraine that you’re thinking of literal windows in shops, and making up a whole horrific scenario in your head where because of the way society is shit, it becomes like red light districts and you have to have a licence for your “gender-affirming” window…

he also inherently feels that they count under the same bracket as girls because he’s fucking ignorant. (And non-binary kids don't exist, or he ignores them because they’re just being silly. Obviously. See end of first sentence.)
