@archive_keeper @StynaLane So true! I’ve been diagnosed as depressed for 27 years (suffered for much longer!) and even I don’t think of myself as disabled! I can’t even get out of bed if I don’t regularly take my meds, and even then some days i still can’t. It’s definitely a disabling condition for me.

@StynaLane People are so used to pushing through the mental health disabilities, because society has this attitude that only physical disabilities count. Like, my bad ankle and back get more respect than my depression.

@spencerrandall3 @mjwmangan @pattipetersonny @benshapiro Because you actually believed I thought I should kill myself due to something a stranger said on the Internet? Okay then… 🙄

Liz Cheney fundamentally misunderstands why people are so passionately angry at her inside the GOP base. Which is why she actually lost.

@fesshole Sorry for your loss. We lost our elderly cat back in May, and I still cry when I think of her, still can’t look at photos of her - damn, I’m crying now!

My dog died recently and every night I now put a blanket over the bottom part of my duvet, so it still feels like they're there, when I go to sleep

@MikeWJJF1 @Grandma88293068 @MatthewStadlen I don’t like Jeremy Corbyn, and I’m not a big fan of Diane Abbott either, but do you honestly, deep down in your soul, believe that they could be worse? And worse for who, exactly. The ordinary person, or the super rich?

@Grandma88293068 @MatthewStadlen Wow Grandma chill. Could be worse could have been Corbyn and Abbott.

Am I alone in thinking Liz Truss unprincipled, shallow, vain and a second rate politician, unsuited to being Prime Minister?

@LynnChisholm14 Have you contacted Access to Work? They’re a body that suggests reasonable accommodations that your employer should make (although they often suggest devices rather than process changes, but it depends on the advisor). My husband used them when he was still in work.

Difficult day today. Had another review meeting at work today. I have now been started on the medical redeployment process. I have 3 months in which to find a new job in my trust. Otherwise I will be taken down the capability route and sacked. Hard not to feel hurt & betrayed

@lynd5ey @mrjamesob @scots2travel That’s a good way to look at it. I’m always looking in the negative side of things; but there are positive things happening as well, I shouldn’t just ignore those.

Everywhere you look, there's a sense of a country teetering on the brink of something awful. I've been speaking to people about their concerns every day for 20 years & never known anything like it. The fundamental awfulness of the politicians in charge scares the sh*t out of me.

@ro86760827 @PhilipPullman No, we didn’t ALL vote for them. Some of us have morals, ethics, and a conscience, and are appalled at what is being done in our name.

@PhilipPullman I love how all the English can now see the tories for what they are. Just a shame yous all voted for them. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If the government KNEW that Rwanda tortured and killed political prisoners ... Well, I can't find a more appropriate word than plain old evil. Patel, Johnson, Sunak, Truss - all of them. Wicked beyond belief.

@iSmashFizzle Been reading the tweets and wondering how many ppl who can’t see that some women aren’t good mothers are mothers themselves, and conversely, how many ppl who can see it don’t have kids themselves. Does having kids colour your opinion? Genuine question.

@SarahSanders58 @Number10cat Especially golden wallpaper - so cooling did the claws!

@Number10cat I've heard that scratching wallpaper can help

UK temperature update: It feels like I’m taking part in an experiment to ascertain the boiling temperature of cats…

@RobertM12997643 @GordonBrown So? Johnson is a worse liar, and a more despicable person overall. Are we playing Liar Top Trumps, because I believe I win. I’d rather believe just a liar than a liar and a cheat, and someone who (yeah yeah, “ALLEGEDLY”!) lied to Parliament

@GordonBrown @GordonBrown is a LIAR. You don’t have to believe me, there are over 5 million witnesses in Scotland that listened to his better together lies in 2014. We all know how that worked out

I’ve seen a confidential document from Lynton Crosby’s lobbying firm which advises Boris Johnson to ride roughshod over every convention and standard of propriety to pack the House of Lords. [Thread] theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@libertyhq Good! Cis woman here, and let me tell you, TERFs don’t speak for me. Let’s stop their whataboutery and deal in facts!

The Attorney General says "we now have a “rights culture” in a way that did not exist prior to 1998" Yeah it's pretty great huh

@BoatGuitarSteve @danielgoyal Read up on Market Fundamentalism. They believe money = morality. Personally I find it horrifying, and literally can’t wrap my head around “richness is next to godliness”, but these psychopaths (yes, I went there!) actually think like that.

A fundamental difference: Some people actually believe they are worth more and should have more rights than others. Some people believe human rights are for all people and everyone should have the opportunity to succeed.

@mrchambersblog Are you saying this to me? I don’t think there’s anything mean or stupid about my reply, and I’m baffled that you can perceive it that way.

stupid answer - stupid person? that was mean

@mrchambersblog @nicholasddyer Yes, we are. Not because this happened to Trump, but because you lot voted him in! And because we’re going that way too, and a lot of us are scared shitless for what that means for us.

@nicholasddyer Harassment by federal law enforcement? Over, at MOST, a process crime? This is persecution and everybody knows it. The overseas world is wondering what the hell happened to the United States... like we're the old Soviet Union nowadays.

@LizTruss_MP I thought this was supposed to be satire?

@bobojones19 @NickBuckleyMBE @calvinrobinson @GBNEWS @KemiBadenoch @SuellaBraverman Truss, Badenoch, Braverman, Mordaunt scare the shite out of me. In fact, any single one of the entire shit-show of a party (yeah yeah, #NotAllTories) scare the shite out of me. And I’m not affiliated to any political party - just a normal voter (so not really important to them).

@NickBuckleyMBE @calvinrobinson @GBNEWS @KemiBadenoch @SuellaBraverman Truss, Badenoch, Braverman, Mordaunt would scare the shite out of Labour

In a @GBNEWS exclusive, Liz Truss commits to having Kemi Badenoch in her cabinet. This will come as welcome news to a majority of the membership. A smart move. 🙌

@parliamentview @dontbrexitfixit @trussliz @RishiSunak Sure, but I don’t want to go down with them! I shudder to think of how much damage either one of them could inflict in 2 years.

I do not want Truss @trussliz OR Sunak @RishiSunak to be the next Prime Minister. They can lead the Tories into oblivion, sure, but I don't want either of them to lead the country further into the abyss. Hold a General Election within 30 days of the 'winner' taking office.
