niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 14hThere are benefit cutoffs which are much lower than for childcare, like carer's allowance or free school meals. When some London boroughs gave all children free school meals there was an avalanche of sneering from mostly pretty well off people 110
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I followed him and tapped him on the shoulder and told him he should put on a mask and he did. This it. 'Oh I'm a bit sick but I'm not testing so be careful' like what should I do. Not go into the event? 020
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Actually I asked one guy to wear a mask. A few years back. I was at an event, and he saw me, told me he had been feeling ill but he wasn't testing so 'be careful' then he walked into the event hall past the little table with masks on it and sat down 100
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I don't ever ask other people to mask, I just ask for things like air purifier in meetings, and people say yes yes and then don't bring it 110

niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I mean how would the govt stop HMOs, councils could refuse to license any more HMOs I guess, but people who can only afford single rooms wouldn't disappear. More people rough sleeping and living in hostels probably 000
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I think almost the entire private rented sector is not an ideal living situation 110
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 19/08/2026And I know people in HMOs with kids, living in an HMO doesn't make you anti social or something? 100
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 19/08/2026HMOs are where many single people just have to live though no? If you don't live with your parents or a partner, how many people can rent a flat by themselves? 110

niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I was distressed in the hospital having tests and the black technician spoke to me all the way through about his hometown Lisbon to distract me and help me calm down, NHS staff should not have to put up with all this while doing their jobs 0111
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 04/08/2026My mum tells stories about the hospital where I was born and one is about another new mum crying all the time who didn't speak English and my mum asked the cleaner for help and she found a woman in the kitchen who spoke Portuguese to come and talk to her 000

niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Regarding my own family there's no connection afaik to any notable people but I think some people did see children in care as a pool of abusable children and it makes sense that powerful and influential people would be able to get access to them 020
niebieskirower.bsky.social @niebieskirower.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I had some close family growing up in children's homes and I feel like the kids were treated as basically disposable and it was OK for adults to harm them as they didn't matter and were annoying 120
