Dear Supers And/Or People With Secret Mutant Powers,

Any time now would be great for you to come to the aid of your downtrodden fellow citizens.

Sincerely,

Your Downtrodden Fellow Citizens

This is great news.

However, Syria's president looks like he's been kidnapped by Lammy's henchmen.

@LoganFive "The good thing about Mastodon is that I can pause before posting my snarky comments, to decide if this is a good situation for them."

I feel the same. I can pause, decide if it's good posting material, realize it's a terrible idea, and then proceed to click "post" anyway

I suppose I should show face again.

Another breakdown.

Another few days of wondering why my body seems to be attacking me.

Another day of thinking "Oh shit, this place and the politics.....its almost like old twitter".

Another day of "being an empath is fucking exhausting".

New meds, new hell no reactions, new "I've had enough" feelings.

I have very limited spoons, in the next 2 weeks, I have a hospital appointment and a DWP health assessment appointment, while also dealing with my sons adult disability payment assessment. Doesn't sound much? Yeah. try living in Scotland and dealing with two different benefits systems.

That, my health, the news, it is all just TOO MUCH. I come on here to escape, and there is no escape, no matter the muted words. I physically cannot cope with it. Mentally I am at the end of my tether. I know I will get through though, I always do.

Be safe friends, take care.

( I know some friends are having a really shit time right now, and I am so sorry I just cannot be there for your right now, I love you and want the best for you, be well ).

The State Department says not to travel to South Sudan because it’s super dangerous but somehow the Trump administration is kidnapping people in the US and sending them there. travel.state.gov/content/trav...
@rolle it's not lazy. It's your frontal cortex being forced into low power mode, so that the JIT compiler in your unconscious can use more watts to optimize things. Okay, it's optimizing your mapping from three words to bad 1970 pop songs, but that could be an essential skill.

On the way back from a superb Liverpool Makefest..

Thanks to all concerned for a great day, and the last 10 years of #livmf25

I really hope a new team can be found for next year

Confirmation. Insiders are saying they’re having to wipe absolutely everything. From servers to end user. Very few services unaffected.
