My vestibular issues have been flaring up the past few weeks, so I think it may be the air pressure. I recently bought some barometric ear plugs and they've been helping!

I hate to say this, really I do, but in 2026 banning access to YouTube for teens is like stopping them from going to the library.

I'm really sorry but this reminds me of one of the Crones from The Witcher 3...I'm really glad to now have the historical context behind the character, but the mental image isn't going away 🥲

Definitely stuffing! Never heard it called dressing before. 'Dressing' is a kind of sauce to me!

Aiming for a Brambly Hedge-ish January

Illustration from Brambly Hedge by author and illustrator Jill Barklem, featuring mice in clothes warming themselves and eating by a roaring, mouse-sized fireplace on a cold night. The scene is extremely cosy.

Happy to let you know that in the northern hemisphere we’ve now done the darkest two weeks in the year. All the other 50 weeks will be lighter than this.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

If it's just water, then depends on the dish. I like boiling the water for my pasta on the hob because I can set it going while I make the sauce. It means I can have everything ready for about the same time

I get what you're saying, but sometimes it's just about the little things we *can* do. How many times did your parents have to make a similar choice because of budget reasons? Do you remember that? Or hold that against them?

I had a surprise hearing test this morning, and it made me wonder what a hearing tests sound like to those with perfect hearing. Like do you get a lil gap in between a set of beeps like I do? Or is that just the deafness lol

I was so nervous about being able to hear the examiner, but they wore hearing aids too and that put me completely at ease. We talked through communication strategies before the test and they were really understanding.

Twenty years since this... 📍Pride and Prejudice (2005), filmed at Stourhead, Wiltshire

A hand holds a photo against a backdrop of a landscape garden with a stone bridge. The photo is a still from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film with Kiera Knightly playing Lizzie Bennett. She is running across the very bridge we can see in real life, but in the pouring rain.

once again profoundly exhausted by the framing of autism, and disability in general, as something to fight against, prevent, and scare people about. it is extremely objectifying

My favorite linguist Jon Henner (who followed me on here before he passed!) changed my perspective a lot. If communication is happening, who cares how it's presented? “How you language is beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you your language is wrong. Your languaging is the story of your life.”

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Hey, just wanted to come and say thank you for this advice! I had mine this morning and I wore a long dress and slides to my appointment, and it made the whole process so much easier. The nurse even commented to say how prepared I was! I was in and out in five mins ❤️

I've had to ask for someone to repeat announcements on trains too many times for me to doubt why I deserve the discount.

charlotte @charlhyde.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Train travel is also incredibly stressful for deaf people. Last minute platform changes announced on a loudspeaker? Not knowing what is happening as everyone starts running? Genuinely awful.
