Looks to me like 50% of the entire article is a Women's Rights Network press release

Bloody good idea. Can't really see what's controversial about Plaid wanting more decision-making powers free of Westminster interference though.

God, family. Every thing my mum says makes me want to tear my face off.

Don't want to do anything today but obliged to. Not fair.

I've got a renewal quote for house insurance that's cheaper than last year what the fuck's going on.

Anyway, at least each day not drinking saves me enough to buy a dress or whatever off Vinted.

000

I'm sure it'll pass but between that and waking up every two hours I'm completely burnt out.

I don't even want to drink now but I still can't stop thinking about it. I was asked to do a pro/cons list and one of the huge pros is being able to fucking think about something else.

Saw someone post about Rowling Derangement Syndrome and it really ought to make someone think twice when they're nicking patter off Donald Trump.

Wow, it's up to 81 comments now, normally get hardly anything on that site. Guess someone lit the batshit signal and summoned the transphobes.

Anybody wanting to discuss immigration is almost certainly a shitbag.

Luckily we don't have a dress code as such.

Just noticed I'm wearing a mouldy tshirt. It's been washed so it's stain rather than active mould at least. Not sure if I'm getting away with it looking like part of the fabric design.

Think that's enough arguing in news comments for today.

Had an email about a cockup in work so bad I began my reply with, "Oh, good lord"

000

I went to the pub yesterday and had tea.

Appointment with support worker today, I am now considered 'abstinent' on the basis of 10 days in 14 without alcohol, ending with six continuous days. Moving me on to relapse prevention.

Have a few of them visibly shagging to provide cover

I was having to ask a friend the other day what her day looks like - as in, literally step-by-step what a normal day is, down to making a coffee first thing. I'm starting from scratch.

Not drinking is more effort than managing with a perpetual hangover. I'm completely spent. The drawer's empty.

As said in the Culture books - money implies poverty.

Employment can be difficult to navigate for trans people. We have to consider whether we want to be out at work (if we have that choice), whether we have documentation […]

The transactual Features section has a lot of good stuff about real trans experiences as a counterpoint to most media presenting us as monsters: transactual.org.uk/blog/categor... Plus their Trans Lives Report is a good summary of what trans people are facing in the uk.

Turns out I can still feel absolutely awful about myself even when not drinking.

Looking at what people are at a food festival and baulked slightly seeing the first alcohol vendor and I guess that's going to be an ongoing source of hazard/anxiety.

End of day 4 with no alcohol. New record.

Going to B&Q for pliers. Hoping they have a burger van.

Does Erich Von Däniken count? :)

Suggestions that immediately come to mind are Iain M Banks, John Scalzi, Andy Weir, James SA Corey. But suspect Scalzi and Weir are the biggest sellers overall.

Our copy is now coming today!

I'll share them at the university I work at!

It was covid when I was last in hospital so I couldn't have visitors, it was great. I read Return of the King.

I'm being expected to take me and the kids on a two hour round trip to visit my mum in hospital on a school night, a thing that not a single person involved will enjoy. Totally pointless.
