I sadly cannot be there, I'm a carer for my mother. I am scared that my community is so vulnerable. I am terrified for my lovely neighbours who are from diverse backgrounds. I am (selfishly) fearful of leaving my home empty except for my poor cats.

This is what community looks like. It's not the violent people choosing to use their energy in the most negative ways possible, causing harm to others/communities. We cannot forget that THIS is the reality.

I opened my office door to two pigeons on my bookshelf. I screamed. Can't blame the cats though, they were at home and this idiot must have left the window open.

He told ITV News there were “too many young people being put on disability benefits”. Young people can be disabled. Nobody is PUT on benefits, it's an apply/prove model. An application for Pip I advocated for took a year, MR, appeal and finally a tribunal. There's the wasted money - the process!

Lost count of how many times I've said this, but: It is possible, if not bleakly common, to have perfectly good mental health and functionality, and still be an absolutely awful person. "Being a thundering arsehole" is not, and never has been, a recognised diagnosis.

Common signs of burnout: Constant exhaustion, no matter how much you rest. Dreading responsibilities you once enjoyed. Feeling detached, unmotivated, or emotionally numb. Struggling to focus or making more mistakes than usual. Feeling irritable, anxious, or overwhelmed more often than not.

Not everyone is as lucky to have such support, but please, if you need more help, ask before you hit this point. It really hurts when you hit the wall! This is a pretty raw post for me to make. Thanks if you stuck with me to the end ;-) Maybe you are in a similar boat? 8... END

I am fortunate that the team I work with are supportive. My family, great. My friends..I'm sorry as I am barely visible, but they get it (I hope). I've had a lot of support but I now understand that I pushed myself to the absolute limit, which, in retrospect is a very foolish thing to do. 7...

I'm not even really sure what my point is, but I do know I should have dealt with these issues weeks, if not months before I actually did. Why didn't I? Love. Wanting to be there. Needing to be there. Fear. Duty. Concern for others. Guilt. Trying to be all things to everyone. 6...

...yet I am desperate to get back to some kind of normal. To do this I've worked on the safe boundaries I needed to put in place as a carer (safe for me, and safe for the person I care for!), so that's in place. Next I need to to take my remaining sick leave to really recharge. 5...

It is apparent that there has been a culmulative effect of dealing with these health problems (appointments, chronic pain, debilitating symptoms), and trying to 'do it all' in and outside of work has thrown up a few problems for me. I am exhausted, I'm sleeping an inordinate amount of time... 4...

That's a term that feels very archaic to me right now. It also feels grounded in 'being a woman', which irks me to the nth. My GP has called it carer burnout. This sounds and feels much more accurate as I'm not nervous, but my nervous system is definitely in fight or flight. 2...

I very much agree with you. It might be time to discuss recompense for those families plunged into (further?) poverty. I doubt that will ever happen but that discussion needs to be instigated.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

The first one I saw (won't say worked with) told me all about their dysfunctional relationships with parents, how they struggled with their gay identity, and all their health problems. We had 9 sessions and they begged me to attend the 10th so I could give an evaluation. I didn't.

I'm generally not a fan of CBT personally, however the idea that I can't control what someone thinks about me, but I can control my response, was among the most helpful statements for me. It's very much changed how I reflect. It doesn't absolve me of responsibility of course, but it does help me.

Paracetamol during pregnancy does NOT cause autism. More bollocks non-science shaming pregnant people is JUST what we don't need. We are already told what to do and what not to do so much during pregnancy (much worse in the states of course). This has made me furious tbh.

£165 for uniform w/ 1 skirt, 1 jumper/cardigan, sports kit, blazer & 4shirts. Most kids will need at least 1 more jumper & 1 more skirt/pants so now £197. Underwear, socks/tights, school shoes, sports trainers, a school bag & a winter coat & you are prob c £400 for 1 child.

You simply cannot equate 68yrs ago with 2025. Nobody is staing that uniform costs are not new, but people are literally starving to be able to provide it.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

Poverty is a political choice. Homelessness is a political choice. Suffering is often a political choice. People are much closer to becoming disabled/unhoused than they realize. Help us build networks of community care and better social supports.

(Though I suspect if they go after Pensions the backlash will be much more, because ableism etc. means far too many are okay with disabled folk being killed… and many more are ignorant to the fact that the state pension is a benefit)

If you are shocked at the government is now “reviewing” the state pension age… you didn’t really think they’d stop a disability benefits did you? Once you open the door, they come after the entire welfare system.
