Me during my autism assessment: I don’t have sensory issues. Dr: So, why do you walk on your toes? Me: I don’t like the way the floor feels when you place the whole weight of your foot on it. But because I avoid doing it by walking on my toes, it’s not an issue.

"actually the people doing the blocking are the abusive ones and the people getting blocked are the victims" is an absolutely fucking incredible way to spin this

One of the biggest functions of blocking is giving women the ability to stop weird men from constantly making them uncomfortable and scared. So of course Elon had to change that.

The kids decorated Halloween cupcakes and biscuits today 🎃

Empathy without boundaries is self-destruction. You gotta train your boundaries to be stronger than your soft heart and your mind to be stronger than your feelings. Otherwise, you'll be drained. So be kind and take no sht.

Autumn is for making soup 🍂 I have leek & potato soup simmering on the stove, and a curried cauliflower soup with roasted peppers, tomatoes, lentils and coconut milk 🥰

My partner is currently painting my son's nails and it's the cutest thing 🥺

Eating out by yourself is the most god tier thing that's seen as being tragic for absolutely no reason

All week my partner has eaten my food happily but not been emphatic about it, and it has given me the anxiety. I love cooking for people. Tonight I made my lemon brioche pudding and the moans that came out of his mouth 😍😂 Turns out the secret was he likes sweet, not savoury.

This is an ungodly time to be driving to the airport. It is entirely unnatural to be anywhere but my bed at 5am.

I dropped my partner and his daughter off at the airport this morning and I won't see them for five weeks. Long distance is hard work, especially with kids involved. I already miss the wee one's snuggles and cheeky smile. She was excited to go see her mum, though. 🖤

Perhaps for this poster, this is true. But for a huge amount of new mums, childbirth is a traumatic experience, either due to complications, near death experiences, inadequate hospital care, or just maybe because the pain is like hell on earth.

Bestie came for an impromptu visit and we've only randomly decided we're going to Spain for her 30th. My aunt owns an apartment out there so no accommodation costs, only flights* 🎉🎉 *which are much more expensive than I remember them being 😱

“We’re in the perverse situation in which adults are protected from all forms of violence under the law, but if it’s a child who’s struck it can be justified or even romanticised.” As it makes news again, my col. on why it’s time to ban smacking children. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

So I escaped to the butterfly app instead and honestly, I feel so free there compared to here.

The council are giving me 8 hours a week for a PA, and I'm so happy. I've been waiting a year for this. I refuse to feel ashamed anymore that I need support. I'm so hopeful that I can get my life back on track with this support.
