Perimenopausal autistic bookworm 🪱with a couple of bonus chronic conditions and oh the brain fog. LGBTQIA+ ally 🩷🏳️‍⚧️🩵🏳️‍🌈 (she/her)
Not following them, but I do wonder if the person they know who gets pushed about in a wheelchair does so because they're unable to get about any other way? Or because sometimes they need it and other times they don't?

Oh what a shame. Local food is so lovely. Hope you found enough you enjoyed for it to feel like a treat.

They're definitely better than the alternatives round here (North Leeds). We often have the same postman and he is great. Evri are bottom of the league table.

Very much hating the government messaging on this (and other things actually).
December 7, 2025 at 2:00 PM
Yes, yes it is time to worry. Past that time some might say. But it's good that articles like this are at least starting to get the message out there that AI isn't always a splendid force for good.

I thought it was better this time of year. Hope you have a wonderful time now you are there.

Sorry to hear that. It's been a shitty week all in all.

Congratulations! When we went in the summer we flew round Madeira a bit then onto the runway at Faro for a few hours before flying back to Manchester, landing 11 hours after we set off. Finally got there 2 days later. No compensation as insurance doesn't cover wind!!

Thank you. That seems ridiculous, but I should know by now that ridiculous doesn't mean anything anymore.

As a 55 year old Mum I enjoyed Bump despite not being target audience! Ditto Colin from Accounts.

Was about to recommend that. I loved it.

I can't find anything on trans boys. Has there been something released today?

I think we may have the same pension provider. My reaction was exactly the same as yours!

The rallying of trans allies this week has been heartening, but it all feels terribly futile. Luckily my young 'un doesn't leave the house so isn't affected by exclusionary policies.

With you completely on that. I am trying so hard not to worry about it till there is more detail but this week is breaking me a bit. I seem to crying at my desk at work again and it's not even 10am.
December 4, 2025 at 9:48 AM
Yeah, but there's no rational argument for that. Not that that seems to be an obstacle nowadays.

Also Fonagy was a well-respected name when I worked in psychology research years ago, but don't know much about him now. I would love something to come out of it that could give me more hope than I currently have for my young person, but the Cass review bias makes me wary.

I am conflicted on this. There does seem to be a huge mental health problem, especially in young. Maybe it's because things are generally not great, maybe the internet is a bad thing, maybe something else. A way to help would be a good step. Dismissing people's problems wouldn't.
