This is a massive scandal. Labour has invented a made-up tactical vote organisation to trick Gorton and Denton into voting for them. How can this even be legal?

My gp is amazing. I had blood tests recently. Another doctor called, not my usual. He said i'm mildly anaemic - my choice if I get supplements. Asked if my diet changed, I said we are temporarily reliant on foodbanks. "Ok. Just eat more veg and red meat." I didn't bother saying anything (1/4)

UC have been difficult but I supposedly get UC on 22nd. I dont know how much. They're still moving goal posts. It's hard. On my gift list, I have decorations, gifts i wish I could buy my children, & some of their safe foods. Please consider helping, if you can. www.amazon.co.uk/registries/g...

I have had to claim UC again recently during a period of ill health. They've been monstrous to deal with. It has felt they have actively done anything they can to make applying as difficult as possible. Assuming I survive, I have a fire in belly and a lot of receipts. Fuck that system.

The regime wants to gut the law that allows women to get loans and mortgages without needing a male co signor. This can’t be allowed to happen. Without financial freedom, women become trapped with their fathers & husbands. They become property again.

I've been blocked from seeing my kids again this weekend. My ex is probably a psychopath (i know it is a term that is overused but not this in this case, imo) Please. It you can help me access christmas with my children, I will repay as soon as i can, either back personally or pay it forward.

Thanks so much for the shares and donations. I've had a quiet and peaceful weekend with my kids. I really love this painting by my daughter, inspired by the show Uncanny. I only have a WIP from my son's Ender dragon drawing but i'll get a photo of the finished piece tomorrow because it is amazing!

You are not "failing" if a recovery tool many people find useful doesn't seem to work for you. Everybody's nervous system, trauma, & recovery needs are unique. Don't get in your head about how your recovery contrasts to others-- just focus on YOUR next recovery supporting choice.

After testing toys powered by AI, researchers found that the playthings can easily verge into risky conversational territory for children, including telling them where to find knives in a kitchen and how to start a fire with matches. Merry Christmas children! 🔪🔥💀🎄 futurism.com/artificial-i...

I still have to share this. Me & my kids need to be reunited. I don't feel great about this but the restrictions placed on me by my ex make this necessary. They have health problems being ignored. Restrictions from being with me. They need me, a lot. I am working very hard and as much as I can.

My step-father's gambling addiction also destroyed us. He became violent towards my mum whenever he lost money (every other day.) They don't care about that side of stuff, of course. They just silence the victims so they can carry on profiting from our misery.

Partner pointed out how surprising it is that these aren't electric vehicles (unless we are mistaken and they are. But i think they're landrover defenders.) Being a big show like Celebrity Traitors, using electric cars would surely be a better public image? It clearly isn't out of budget.

Food shopping on a very tight budget... Spar has a frozen meal deal. It would feed me, partner & 2yo today, & 2yo tomorrow. 5 items for £6... 1 of the 5 items, Spar fish fingers, was out of stock... So they wouldn't let me have the deal 😤I had to spend £19 when I should have spent £12!

People really think the primary connection between disability & SW is disabled clients. But a disproportionate number of SW are disabled ourselves. You only don't know that bc it doesn't fit the stereotypes that claim disabled people aren't sexy & SW all look the same

You cant parachute asylum seekers into deprived areas, in completely inappropriate housing, then say those migrants are 'dividing our country'. You divided the country because you can't organise a basic service and process claims in a timely way

Intelligent, purposeful, temporary avoidance can absolutely be a trauma recovery tool-- as long as we don't confuse it w/ reflexive, mindless, symptomatic avoidance. In any realistic recovery arc, there are times for confrontation AND avoidance. Neither should be our default.

What actually happened is the opposite of "woke". There is a turkey shortage because of bird flu. You know the sort of thing animal welfare regulations and consumer protections might have prevented if not for decades of deregulation.
Times story today. Most Britions won't eat Turkey for Christmas dinner. Woke nonsense.
