Thanks. Yeah, I get it as well but even as a kid I was like… well, this isn’t working.

I know it’s not the same but it always feels exactly the same as bullying to me. My dad had this theory that if he gave me a hard time at home, I’d be hardened to it at school. It just meant I didn’t have a safe place. 🤷‍♂️

TBH, I’m terrible at laughing at myself and I kinda hate it but I appreciate it’s a me problem. I am allergic to embarrassment.

We’re pretty merciless with the way we won’t let something go, tho. You’ve gotta be prepared to be the butt of a joke… forever 🤣

Right?? It’s poisoned “the centre”. People who are (were) genuinely of the centre do not want these populist fash-curious dickheads anywhere near their politics, I’m sure.

As somebody who might die because of this bullshit, someone who could have died just a few days and weeks ago if I wasn’t more on to it, due to funding nonsense around essential services and gear for disabled people, like WHEELCHAIR CUSHIONS… I don’t know, man… avenge my death, I guess 🤷‍♂️

Music is my favourite thing but I’m also extremely prone to sensory (especially auditory) overstimulation, which sucks.

Ah haha oh god, VUW English Department is closing its Facebook page because Meta AI is automatically responding to comments there like it is the actual English Department. I don't actually know how this is not illegal.

It’s amazing how many people who describe themselves as centrist will actually go and vote for a far right party. And by amazing I mean utterly baffling

Too many people really need to stop pretending they don't know this but here goes... 'CENTRISTS' WHO ENDLESSLY CRAP ON ABOUT THEIR SACRED CHECKS AND BALANCES WHILE REFUSING TO EITHER CHECK OR BALANCE THE RADICAL RIGHT AREN'T CENTRISTS. THEY'RE RIGHT WINGERS WHO LACK THE COURAGE OF ANY CONVICTIONS.

I likely won’t have to go to hospital because I’m sacrificing my days to bed rest and I’ve done an excellent job of looking after myself and the pressure area. It’s already been infected tho. If I do go to hospital, the cost runs quickly into the tens of thousands for something like this.

Yep… you don’t have to tell me anything. Still lying here on bed rest with a pressure sore because I don’t yet have a wheelchair cushion I asked for in mid April. You used to get them within days.

'Flooding the zone with bullshit" - it works. And frankly, I think the Government know exactly what it is doing. Rapid-fire enshittification is also designed to be extremely difficult and slow, if not impossible, to undo if "the other side" ever get a shot.
