  • I want this in the UK. Free and humane access end of life services, should be a human right for all adults.

    I am genuinely fucking terrified of attempting again on my own and fucking it up so badly that I end up too brain damaged to live independently and get sectioned for life.

    I’ve experienced first hand how NHS MH services treat vulnerable people under their care, and I know full well how much worse it gets if you don’t have any capacity left to self advocate and be heard.

    If the UK government won’t provide a functioning healthcare, housing and benefits system to look after the disabled and mentally ill, they should at least allow us the choice of dying comfortably in a safe environment.



  • Eh, kinda. Not really friends though, more like I have a few neighbours who I’m comfortable having as barely acquaintances.

    There’s the lady across the hall who occasionally brings my parcels/post up and I do the same for her.

    Protein shake bro, who lives next door and has a loud blender. I’ve not actually met him but am deeply comforted by his shake making regularity.

    The chubby Brazilians, the couple who sometimes take parcels for me when couriers insist on banging on the wrong door, and I’ve done the same for them too a few times.

    The lady with the inverse door number to mine, we swapped numbers at one point but only ever text about recieving each others Amazon parcels. She stole my pasta maker during the pandemic though, so I lost her number. I see her on her balcony sometimes and used to hope she texted me so I could be like “no pasta maker. who dis?” but alas.

    Aside from this (and tbh actually, including one or two) there’s a lot of crackheads, mentally disturbed, and domestically violent in my building, so it’s not really somewhere I’m comfortable being known by or inviting neighbours into my flat.


  • How often do folk accept your cakes? Have many new neighbours come by offering you baked goods too? Have you met folk who won’t accept your baked goods? Is it awkward?

    Sorry for all the questions! This is only something I’ve ever seen done in tv and films and I’m so curious.

    I’ve thought about doing this myself a few times and ended up coming to the conclusions that as I just don’t trust the hygiene or humanity of strangers enough to be comfortable with consuming food offered like this, and so it would also not be right for me to bake for strangers by assuming they should trust me and my hygiene and humanity, either.

    Have you ever had neighbouring folk offer you baked goods that made you sick? Or that in hindsight once you learnt more about them and/or saw their homes, you regret eating the food they gave you?




  • The undertones and finish on the swatch card are completely different to what is on the wall.

    I see a warm pinky peach undertone and a satin matte finish on the card. The wall has a cool blue green undertone and a semi gloss/satin finish.

    A whole wall in the colour and finish on the swatch card will reflect light in a very different way to what the current colour does and have a much nicer ambience for a home.










  • The committee’s chair, Chi Onwurah, a Labour MP, said she wanted to see how Musk, who owns the X social media platform, “reconciles his promotion of freedom of expression with his promotion of pure disinformation”.

    That’s a bit fucking rich coming from Kid Starver and his party of loyal Labour Zionosts. Labour have been ‘promoting pure disinformation’ and removing rights to ‘free expression’ at breakneck speed since they smeared Corbyn.

    What freedom of expression/from pure disinformation is Labour protecting?

    They’ve raided the homes of journalists reporting too honestly on the Palestinian genocide.

    They’re actively promoting transphobia and enforcing medical harm to trans folk by supporting the politically motivated hateful bullshit in the Cass report.

    Fuck Labour.
