When I was in primary school they put me in to what the other kids called the "dumb class". I remember being upset and embarrassed. Fastforward two decades and I'm pretty sure my teachers were right. Man, I've got like 3 brain cells and they ain't talking through their issues

My least favourite by-product of capitalism is that people (especially in the UK) think that if you’re poor you don’t deserve literally anything. Like if you work a low wage job or are on benefits you’ll be shamed for owning a phone or ordering a takeaway and this makes NO sense

Growing up poor means that it takes me three attempts to say Balenciaga every single time I come across the word

is it politically incorrect to refer to straight men who did theatre in high school as culturally gay

don’t know why but i’ve committed to swimming 22 miles over the next 12 weeks in aid of diabetes UK pls donate if you can 💓 swim22.diabetes.org.uk/fundraising/is…

Really hope the amendments to the Official Secrets Act go through. Not because I want a police state. I just take comfort in the idea that I could write 600 words in the local paper and just disappear. Might start my "Johnson's feet grow every time he lies" article in preparation

This injects pure dopamine and serotonin into my soul

The new IPCC report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands previous studies and reports - that we are in an emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) summary of the current best available science. 1/2

Becoming hyperaware of your own eyebrows is the most shocking moment of self realisation in day-to-day life. Those caterpillars have been there this whole time and no one's said anything????

remember how fucked up jazz was before they invented instruments

I have a theory that you can gauge how old (mentally speaking) and/or elitist you are by finding out how much you love granola... feel like you need to decompose a little and be conditioned from birth to like it in the morning p.s - having a breakdown as I now love granola

If we go back into full lockdown all winter I'm starting hard drugs or becoming a flat earther or something I cannot do this again fully aware

I woke up this morning (afternoon) with the taste of mulled wine, beer and regret upon my breath. My body felt the pain of dionysius's grape fuelled wrath. The distorted world I perceived felt hopeless. Until I found The Witcher s2 had dropped on Netflix. Happy holidays Xxx

Hey Meta you own so many messaging apps with voice notes (which are cool, I like them) but one question - why, on none of these apps, can I listen back to the voice note before I send it? Asking for an adhd friend (me) who forgets the point of a sentence half way through ❤

I’ve not taken my adhd meds for 4 days due to illness And now I know three things 1) professionals really weren’t given the training or motivation to notice adhd when I was young 2) my friends are really patient and understanding people 3) I’m disaster of a human

when i came out as trans in senior year of HS, I sent an email to all my former & current teachers as well as the administrators to let them know of my name change & pronouns. (this was over 10 years ago). The vice principal emailed me, asking me to visit his office. (1/?)

Nadine Dorries has tried to submit a letter of resignation, but accidentally adopted a snow leopard.
