It's doubly sad to me because what I have craved so much is a way to play some classic games as I used to. I don't need a remake. I need proper compatibility support. In some cases that might mean upscaling graphics to compensate for the way modern monitors function. But mostly? No changes at all.

I mean okay. Technically I know who took it and I could grab it back. But honestly I just don't want the drama, or to have to constantly be rushing out to grab it in again. Next time I'm finding a more reliable way of marking it tho, that's for sure.

Discord is going to reintroduce Global Age Verification, which restricts teen accounts.
Teens will face several limitations:
- Blocked access to NSFW channels and servers
- Sensitive media automatically blurred in chats and direct messages
- Mandatory message requests for incoming texts
- Restricted speaking access in Stage Channels
To lift these restrictions, unverified adults can confirm their age via one of the following options:
- Credit Card checks via k-ID x Stripe
- Official ID through k-ID
- Selfie
- Google Wallet

I feel so weird. I mean. She was predicted to get the grades she needs? So it's terrible to imply that she won't. But also she's got no wiggle room if she wants her first choice. So I also feel so cruel going "I know you'll get it!", because...who the fuck knows what the grade boundaries are

Awesome. Stress dream about A Level results today. Meanwhile Tottlet1 exists with the kind of zen which has to be seen to be believed (externally at least, she does also have a habit of bottling shit HARD). One way or another I will be so glad when this wait is over.

Recently, critical comments about LGBT people every day make me very sad. LGBT people just want to love whom they love and live proudly as themselves—why treat that as a demand? Living as a human is a right and shouldn’t be restricted by male and female genders🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

Smart Glasses are probably nearby
Device: Unknown
RSSI: -42 dBm
Reason: Meta Company ID (0x058E)

This app notifies you when smart glasses are nearby. It uses company identificators in the Bluetooth data sent out by these. Therefore, there likely are false positives (e.g. from VR headsets). Hence, please proceed with caution when approaching a person nearby wearing glasses. They might just be regular glasses, despite this app's warning.

The problem is that they're using this as justification to not allocate her a specialist provision. And the reality is that this particular thing was ALREADY a specialist provision within the context of a mainstream setting, and whaddya know! It wasn't enough. Still, hopefully that'll help us now.

Like at the time it was true! But the following four months demonstrated very clearly that the programme was a triumph of optimism over reality. It did not meet her needs. But hey, they only reviewed her case once a year, and at THAT point it looked promising. So that's all they pay attention to.

Preparing for my daughter's educational tribunal, and hoo boy, as I review these documents I sure as shit wish they gave room for some actual CONTEXT. "Tottlet2 is engaging with X programme" Sure, but it had been running for 2 weeks at the time, and she'd attended 3 sessions. It did not pan out.

Well it's been a busy and stressful heatwave the second, with an additional layer of spice in the form of my nana having a 4am fall which left her briefly hospitalised (somehow she is okay, thank fuck), BUT! After five years of procrastination, I have finally painted Tottlet1's windowsill.

But I suppose mostly what I was meaning was just... It felt telling to me that you left out your writing & other art *entirely* in that list. So, I hope you can get to a place where you can love all of those things again, this time in a way that feels healthier to you.

I mean, I definitely understand that! I've had a really long journey with that one myself. Honestly, learning to uncouple the creative value of my art from its commercial value has been such an important step. Definitely hope you reach a point of comfort in that journey too!

My ruddy brickwork was built to accept this warmth. That was the whole point. 50 years ago, no one could have imagined that this tried and tested defence against winter could turn so deadly. And yet, I think of past houses I've lived in, and know that for many, this heatwave was so, so much worse.

TottWriter @tottwriter.bsky.social · 27/06/2026
It's not really about the peak temperatures, or spikes of burning sun. It's the slow, steady, inevitable accumulation of warmth in the walls. Heat with nowhere to go. A thermal bank which keeps getting deposits, day after day.

The temperature had fallen to 28C downstairs. By 10pm, 27.8. it held there at 11. Had barely dropped by midnight. This morning, after a restless night of cacophonous thunder and torrential rain, my living room holds strong at 26.9C.

This should not be a picture taken in a disabled teenager's bedroom. But it is. It was. And last night when my kids came home at 9pm, it was still over 30C upstairs. I have never felt such relief as when the first peal of thunder echoed out, and the rain began to fall.

Deadly heat isn't a problem for future generations to solve. It's already here. It's already tipping people past the point of recovery. It's already defeating houses which were designed for a world which, even in the most fantastical, utopian version of events, won't come back in our lifetimes.

Climate insecurity isn't just about educating people, or making lifestyle changes. We need legislative changes, and changes which are actually ENFORCED. We need to empower everyone with the right to enable their homes can survive the heat. And it needs to be NOW.

Removing a stretch of patio against the eastern wall would allow me to plant a trellis of hardy plants which don't require constant watering during dry summers. Adding external shutters would keep so much heat from the window panes. The loft insulation is old and patchy, from squirrel damage.

Honestly though, the worst part of all of it was knowing that I could do more to keep this house cool. There's so many fixes which would help. Simple and straightforward...and permanent enough that, as a tenant, I can't do any of them.
