Malphas Wats @malphaswats.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah, my GP sent out a message to everyone when it was first made available that basically said "Yeah, don't bother, we already have a list of our patients most in need and none of you are it". Not fat enough, not also sick enough etc etc. 010
Malphas Wats @malphaswats.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Please forgive random internet stranger offering medical advice, but, have you tried Mounjaro or similar GLP thingies? I used it for a while for weight loss until they jacked the price up and felt soooo much better mentally than my anti-ds ever managed. The food thing was practically an added bonus. 100

Malphas Wats @malphaswats.bsky.social · 25/06/2026B&Q sell "door seals". You're supposed to use them to seal doors when you're generating lots of dust in a room. But they cut nicely to window size, stick well with included roll of double-sided tape and have a handy little zip opening so you can still open and close the window as needed. 041

Food noise is the roar of traffic that drowns out the birdsong so that you can’t hear your body properly. You eat because you mistake every murmur inside you for hunger. 042
Malphas Wats @malphaswats.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I didn't understand the concept of food noise at all, until I started taking Mounjaro and it all went away.

Hodges has expressed support for the government censoring whistleblowers who are spreading "information highly detrimental to the UK national interest".[21]
In early 2025, Hodges faced backlash for comments on social media concerning the war in Gaza. He asserted that no British taxpayer money should be used for reconstruction “until every Hamas terrorist is either dead or in jail”. When pressed about whether the consequences for civilians, including "hundreds of thousands of children", would be that they would "go to hell", he replied: “Yes, basically.” Critics accused him of endorsing collective punishment and war crimes. A British lawyer warned the comments might breach UK law, including the Public Order Act and the International Criminal Court Act 2001.[22][23]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfkuxhi5jisyq7c3omgdc7kg/bafkreig37tpeqjqly2xasefrhtx4pbtnx7owt3nefudnqs4ozi2hzrtonm)
