Wishingstar343 @wishingstar343.bsky.social · 05/10/2026www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... this is great news! I am not parent shaming but I am genuinely fascinated as to why there's a delay. My almost 3yo is now mostly potty trained and my eldest was trained by 2.5yo. It was never an option for us to wait for them to start school. #parentlifebbc.co.ukPotty-training scheme to expand to more parts of England after city's successThe government wants 75% of children to end their first year of school with a good level of development by 2028. 000

Wishingstar343 @wishingstar343.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I really don't want to dump on The NHS, but there is no world where it is acceptable for an 8yr old child to wait 6 hours to have stitches and 7.5 hours for discharge. Just an incredibly upsetting and painful day for everyone. 000

Reposted by Wishingstar343derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal 335153881290
