Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. Populations get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

It has come to my attention that most of bluesky has never laid eyes or ears on the greatest full motion video intro in game history. I am here to remedy this.

One of the many advantages of independence is that we could finally abolish this embarrassing affront to democracy. An unaccountable, unelected body packed with party donors and cronies.

Dawn Foster was right. Wes Streeting is a "lickspittle tory cunt" and a nasty little Quisling bastard. I'd like to see him tarred and feathered through every city and town in the country. After he has apologised to every family of kids that have unalived themselves because of his policy decisions.

DWP appointment done. The person says they have to get permission to push back my next appointment to anything more than two weeks. But at least that will be after Tanz.

I am mentally putting together a quick rundown of the state of my bowel movements over the last week. "For the love of God, and all that is Holy! My...etc" iykyk

I have a video call with my jobcentre advisor tomorrow. I now recall, at our first meeting last week, referring to the "Department for Killing Disabled People" as well as my transfer to "Universal Hardship". I am contemplating whether or not to continue this until someone objects.

Note, in case it is needed, that any kind of interaction counts, not just IRL. Dropping likes on social media posts, or posting where I can see and drop a like, also counts.

If I don't see you for weeks, you never reach out or respond to messages, I will assume you have forgotten I exist. I am that kind of needy annoying friend.

They are cutting off his medical care, too. This is murder.

Think I might be too bad tempered to be online today. My plan had been to go to the gym today and have another shot at getting my computer to go. Not sure how much I will manage.

Awake, uncaffienated and heartily pissed off. First UC payment arrived and it is a lot less than I was expecting. Now I need to write and send messages to find out wtf is going on.

Universal Credit is so fucking stupid. Suddenly, I have to tell them what my rent is even though the council wrote to tell me _they_ had told them how much my rent is. Like, there is no logical reason to make me do this.

This has been studied extensively: Regret rates for gender affirming care, including for children, are extremely low. A core tactic of conspiracy theorists is to ignore existing bodies of research and demand further study until they get the result they want.

Ok, back online with a functioning(ish) chromebook. Still trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong with getting windows installed on the desktop. Beyond frustrated. I gave up on this in the summer last fucking year and i've tried a couple of times in the last few months.

Next up, begin the "wtf is my password again?" game.

Managed to get the Chromebook into recovery mode! Goodbye all my data! But if this works I'll have a laptop (for given values of) to poke the internet from.

Well, shit. Trying to get my desktop working again after a motherboard and drive failure. Trying to install Win 10 and the iso download seems to have...fucked my Chromebook.

Let me help you out! Our roads are too narrow for your behemoths, a third of houses don’t have off street parking, you don’t make compact cars anymore as you chased bigger profits, 18mpg with £6 per gallon in the UK not £2.50, and also Europeans are notoriously picky about brands. Free market babe.

They want to do a video call every week. This week they're getting a tour of the stuff I haven't done since they started hassling me and the view from my depression nest, followed by a request for less frequent meetings or none at all.

Dealing with Universal Credit bullshit is psychological torture. I'm not recovered from the IRL meeting last week, which was traumatic as fuck. I haven't been functional since I got the letter summoning me to the jobcentre.

Slept late and missed trans exercise group. I haven't been to the gym since before the DWP started hassling me, with the change to universal hardship. Haven't slept at the right times either.

i admit back in 2017 I was skeptical of the normie lib ladies in their pussy hats marching with the cops but u know what, sure most of them were lulled back to sleep by do-nothing Democratic pols, but some were radicalized and I choose to admire those folks rather than shit on the whole movement
