Prone to doomscrolling the hours of insomnia away on Reddit because whatever.
Anyway, it seems heterosexual women getting all divorcy because their partners still wank is a thing.
And I’m like, “wow, your relationships are so very not like ours”.

I am delighted and relieved but I daren't hope it'll improve nationally cos Labour is only "less bad" not necessarily any good.
My area did ditch our Tory mayor tho, the one who has been distancing himself from the parliamentary party while also being the life partner of Michael Fabricant which Makes No Sense At All Cos He's A Scary Loon.

So there’s a thing about these right wing Americanists who want to force women back into “traditional gender roles” that I don’t get: they come from the bit of America where the music is all about women in traditional gender roles, trapped in an abusive marriage, murdering their husbands.

Pharmacies in Portugal (verified) and Spain (unverified) will often sell oestrogen HRT over the counter to tourists without a prescription. If you watch Ryanair prices, you could day trip there for £50 or less.
This will likely be cheaper and potentially safer than using an internet pharmacy.

The linked document is being circulated amongst NHS service providers for young trans people. It advises cessation of ALL medical intervention for transition but goes further. It suggests that if the patient or parents continue to access trans healthcare outside their system, they should be reported to social services with the implicit threat that the children will be taken from their parents.
IF YOU ARE A YOUNG TRANS PERSON OR A PARENT OF ONE, IT IS LIKELY UNSAFE TO ENGAGE WITH NHS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

Sadly, the Lib Dems are increasingly not telling them to fuck off. Apparently if this is all you do all day, every day, eventually you get your way because people get exhausted trying to ignore you.

Aged 10 (late C19), my grandmother's aunt went paddling and her feet were cut by a piece of tin. They became infected (I presume they developed gangrene). By the time she saw a doctor, the only solution was amputation. Both feet, on the kitchen table of the girl's house, without anaesthetic. Apparently, she could be heard screaming from outside the house.
It's besides the point, but they could've given her tourniquet anaesthesia as a non-pharmaceutical option.
Michael O’Leary is a real life shitposter who plays the press like a fiddle, and here he is doing it again.
We live in a time where anyone could do a quick check to see if a 737-8200 could reach Rwanda from the UK (ok, fuelling stops are possible but it seems unlikely that would be favoured), and confirm that, no, it cannot.
But “journalists” don’t apparently bother to actually investigate … anything.
So O’Leary gets his name in the media again for free. bloomberg.com/news/articles/20…

Ok. Binged Fallout. Never played the game.
But it’s basically Silo, if Silo didn’t take itself seriously, and also there’s no nuclear war in Silo, and everybody outside is dead in Silo (humans anyway, the rest of the ecosystem is fine as long as it stays away from Fulton County, Georgia).
And Silo is set in our future, not some 1950s retro future.
But other than that, same idea. I guess Silo was influenced by the game. It’s very much “what if Fallout, but hard sci-fi?”

This is a lie. I live in two new build flats. One in Portugal and one in England. The toilets they put in in UK new builds are just shit at flushing. The ones in Portugal flush properly.

I think I’ve put my finger on what coming back to the UK feels like. If an actual nation state could be suffering from clinical depression, this is what it would look like: Everything is slowly going to shit; the country seems to see no future for itself; it’s making decision after decision that is self neglect bordering on self harm; quite possibly the most unpopular government to be removed by democratic vote rather than bloodshed is about to lose an election by a cataclysmic margin, and when the opposition, who are set to clean up, are asked what they’re going to do differently, the answer is a shrug followed by, “nothing”.
And people here more or less accept it, because boiling frogs and suchlike, but then you go elsewhere (no, America, not you, sit back down), and it’s like the colour returns to the world and you didn’t even realise it was missing.

Famous American murderer from the telly, O J Simpson, has been in the news recently for dying. Here are some lesser known facts about him:
O J was known by his fans as "The Juice". This is because his full name was Orangejuice Jorangejuice Simpson.
King Edward VIII of England was forced to resign because he wanted to marry him.
In addition to being good at rugby and murder, O J was also the first man on mars.
He was acquitted after his lawyer, who was one of the Cardasians from Star Trek, convinced the jury that there were five lights.

Now the UK has used “no medical care for trans people before 25 because brains not developed”, they’re gonna push for 40, “because fertility”.
I would actually put money on them doing that.

That's pop psychology at its worst.
Yes, there is still some development in "the brain" up to the age of 25, but it's mostly to do with the areas of the brain that deal with impulse decision making. The areas of the brain that deal with considered decision making are more or less fully developed at 15.
And despite how things look in transphobic fantasy-land, nobody is transitioning on a whim.
Just had vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria and polio.
