I've just had a GP appt. I asked them a q about low testosterone and anxiety. He literally Googled it and got his opinion from an online forum. 😳🤯 Never again will I be cautious of knowing my conditions better than he may.

Yeap... Two doubles expressos at 5pm definitely a dumb idea. 🤦🙄

I was reminded of a saying this weekend, a saying I'm going to keep reminding myself of over the coming weeks as I hold and heal both anger and compassion for someone important in my life, who is no longer in my life: Hurt people hurt people. Go get some therapy folks. ❤️

In Singapore there are no juries. It was hard to explain to people the peril my husband was in should the AG have decided to press charges for whatever. Judges are essentially appointed by the PM. For anyone who dissents, a guilty verdict in absentia, is the inevitable result -See Lee Hsien Yang etc

Thought: the men engaged in intimidation and violence over migrants are men who in the 1980s would be engaged in intimidation and violence over football. There are some men who just like violence. Hence the cross-over with domestic abuse convictions. Migrants are just the latest excuse.

When you're chatting to someone on a dateling site, you twigged ages ago it's a scam and they are using AI, and then they send the same message in reply to your reply to the same message they've already sent. Copy and paste basics surely. 🙄 Disappointed I've got an amateur in play TBH. 😂

Only in the 70+ age cohort was the AfD vote share relatively modest in Sachsen-Anhalt. “We must never forget” has an expiration date. Roughly two generations removed, it turns out.

A text graphic of black bold text on a mauve background saying:

Trauma recovery always involves a certain amount of "f*ck 'em" and "f*ck it" energy. Which can be hard for those of us who were only ever rewarded or safe when we were being "good."

One of my favorite yet least played #Prince tracks.
AI suggests: The album cover of Timeless by Prince features a vibrant and abstract design, showcasing a blend of bold colors and intricate patterns that reflect the artist's eclectic style and musical legacy. The cover art captures the essence of Prince's innovative spirit and his impact on music and culture. This human suggests: Prince shown in silhouette standing with his arms outstretched. The neck and headstock of a bass playing behind Price emerges from behind Prince's back. The word PRINCE appears bottom to top on the left side in a slim Dan's serif font. The lighting of the scene is a graduated purple, starting a bright almost pink purple behind Prince's silhouette to a deeper murkier purple to the edges of the cover.

Oh my lordy! I may have just rewritten the menu for weekend brunch. Pumpernickel bagel, cream cheese, smoked wild salmon, topped with a one egg omelette. Currently transitioning to brunch nirvana. With coffee obviously. 😀

No shit Sherlock! My most recent NHS interaction led to be being told my needs were too complex. And yet my request for individual specialist funding (IFR) has been refused. It is not for no reason I say: The system is violently anti-survivor. #cPTSD www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
