Got told yesterday that "the gallbladder and the stomach are completely separate issues". By a doctor. In a hospital.

Weird coincidence in the car earlier. Car overtakes us (we're doing speed limit), my mum says "look at that idiot, how fast is he going?", radio starts playing 🎵Here you go, way too fast Don't slow down, you're gonna crash...🎵. My life is being soundtracked 😂

In case you were unaware, the Cass Review was the biggest and most egregious case of policy-based evidence making perpetrated by any government in recent years. It is so flawed it has been almost universally condemned. Don't let them do the same for mental health care.

🍌 Banana watch - day 16 (or 17 maybe?). Having been exposed to the influence of the yellow bananas for a couple of days, some of the green bananas are showing signs of ripening. Decided to peel one on the advice of @natterblog.bsky.social. Unfortunately no gold inside. Disappointing. 🧵1/3
Bunch of four bananas, one almost yellow, three in varying shades of green. Also one banana half peeled to show what looks like a nice normal edible banana but which very definitely isn't.

Banana watch - day 15*. Yep, still green. There is something deeply wrong with these "bananas". *at this point we have no intention of eating the bananas, we are keeping them purely for scientific research 😂 (The yellow bananas were bought yesterday and pictured for comparison)
