To anyone that knows me, I will be one of those annoying people today because it’s not very often that a book birthday comes along! So, I’m Autistic is real, it’s here and today is this little book’s birthday!

Genuinely I went to a singles mixer tonight and on the walk there the amount of men that took up space so fully that I had to walk through bin bags as they blew their elf bars and lost Mary’s in my face. No chivalry or even decency to strangers
men aren’t attractive anymore, & I’m not even talking about looks. they’re disrespectful, want princess treatment, can’t communicate, can’t connect emotionally, immature & more… it’s a complete turn off. like sir, how are you a full time turn off & still confident ?

This is why, as much as I prefer the social value of the work I achieved in the charity sector, I, someone working class with no safety net, can't financially afford to value my labour (and mental health) that way. It's why people seek private sector roles with higher salaries.

The numerical salary of the posts I was applying for back in 2018-2019 has not increased since then, but you can bet that the workload has increased, training has decreased, and the cost of living has skyrocketed, while the economic value has plummeted.
My last job (2 years ago) in the charity sector was £35,000 that same job was advertised about two months ago and they were still advertising it at £35,000 that's why it's inherently filled with white middle class people

No prior generation had to give up all other joys in life to buy a home. They had phones. They watched tv and movies. They ate at restaurants. They traveled. They drove new cars. They went to bars with friends. They drank and smoked constantly. To pretend otherwise is absurd.
You want a house? Cool, cool. When are you gonna give up your $1,500 smartphone that you buy the new version of every year or so? When are you cancelling all your subscription services? When are you giving up Uber, and UberEats? When are you going to stop buying a $7

The closure of the Tavistock Clinic has had a profoundly negative impact on trans youth & their families. The decision has cost lives. The fact that Maitlis is openly bragging about the role she played in gutting trans healthcare is utterly disgusting.
“Incredible stuff that’s been done here” This is how Emily Maitlis describes her work which helped shut down the only source of NHS transition healthcare for trans youth. “Ideological capture” indeed, but not by LGBT people.

The brand value and engagement experienced by Vogue because of a Black British woman writer hired as a freelancer and not a staffer is yet another example of how Black creatives are worth more than these media institutions pay them.

To be loved is to have petty revenge enacted in your honour? Avenging dishonour
last night at a house party i watched a guy unscrew the hinges of the host's bedroom doors, hide the hinges under a pile of clothes, and put the door back in place, bc the host insulted his girlfriend

🔥 Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson drops a bombshell stat. In 20 countries without assisted suicide, palliative care funding rose by 25%, BUT in the Benelux states where there is AS, it has only risen by 7.9% in the same period. Legalising assisted suicide weakens REAL care.

Lord Falconer says people with “learning difficulties or autism” could, with “proper assistance”, access assisted suicide. That should alarm every Peer in the Lords. Vulnerable people don’t need help to die. They need support to live.

Within a heteronormative context, the real romantic loneliness epidemic is happening among straight women with standards — there simply aren’t enough good guys to go around, which is why you see so many straight women (especially widows) just choosing to stay single indefinitely.
Feel like that fertility crisis thing might going on for a bit longer.

one of the sexiest things you can do is be a young divorcee. second only to breaking off an engagement
sometimes one of my coworkers will casually say “my ex wife” as if that’s a normal thing to have in your mid 20s in brooklyn new york. it really throws me off kilter.
