I dislike bio’s, really. I’m a late 40 year old female with a 24-year-old daughter. We have two dogs, two cats, one guinea pig. I was Arletta on Twitter. Went to Mastodon, but I don’t remember what name it was. I left though.

What Thom doesn't appreciate is that the Evri courier is the main character in an open world RPG, and he just has a couple of side-quests he needs to do first.

Deep breath, lads. In response to the proposed government disability cuts, I wrote a piece about my life before The Daily Tism (it includes a PIP assessment, a mental health crisis and iced Madeira cake). We’ll fight this with everything we’ve got. #TakingThePip

Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly. "millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"? No. Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

Imagine a Muslim cleric had called for churches to be burned down and British people killed. They’d be calling for a far longer sentence….. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/...
