it’s crazy that 95% of people just want a nice normal life on our beautiful, already abundant planet where they can have their basic needs met and cute experiences with their loved ones and then we have these 5% of evil, narcissistic goons at the top fucking it up for all of us

@anon_opin When I was pregnant in 1978 and went right off alcohol my doctor suggested gin and tonic as most palatable for pregnant women

Very few people really enjoy gin. It's only fashionable bevause every man and his dog has started adding flavours like rhubarb, cucumber or some shite to it to make it palatable

@seasidedolly2 We love you Dolly!!

Birthday balloons for me today!

@LucyGoBag @StaceySolomon Yes, my daughter and I found ourselves unable to throw anything away when my other daughter, her sister, was diagnosed and slowly died of MS. It was so helpful to learn the link between loss and hoarding. We're coming through. I'd still love @StaceySolomon to live next door.

If you are struggling with hoarding and cluttering after illness, bereavement, baby loss and many other things I do think the gentle advice in Sort Your Life Out is worth spending some time with. Thank you @StaceySolomon and the team

@ovaleasteregg I once overheard a woman, really pissed off, complaining that they could only afford to go to some shitty place for this year's winter skiing holiday instead of their usual fab one. I've never been sad to be poor since that day as I'm almost always more content than her

Just heard a mum say to another "we're going on holiday next week, not a proper holiday, just Weymouth in a caravan, I can't afford more" Isn't it sad that this has become not a holiday. When I was a kid you'd be thrilled at this! Plus her kids will probably love it so much

@LissaKEvans 5 Chimerism: A rare condition where two fertilized eggs fuse, resulting in a single individual with two different sets of DNA, which can create a mix of male and female tissues.

@AnnaM46 Do you mean DSDs - differences in sexual development? An individual who has a DSD is still either male or female. 'Gender' is a non-scientific word that can mean almost anything and I'd rather avoid using it.

When you apply to the girl guides now the first question you will be asked is: do you comply with standard gender norms, expressions and expectations, and if you say no? Or even you’re not sure? You’re out. Just let kids be who they are for goodness sake. Love them regardless. This is petty and cruel.

@LissaKEvans 4, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH): An XX individual (typically female) may be exposed to high levels of male hormones in the womb, resulting in ambiguous genitalia.

@LissaKEvans 3 Androgen Insensitivity: An individual with XY chromosomes (typically male) may have a body that does not respond to male hormones, resulting in a female phenotype.

@LissaKEvans 2 Chromosomal Mixes: Instead of just XX (female) or XY (male), individuals can have variations like XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), X (Turner syndrome), or mosaics, where some cells are XX and others are XY.

@LissaKEvans 1. Biological and Physical Variations (Intersex) Biologically, sex is a bimodal spectrum rather than a strict binary. About 1.7% of people are born with intersex traits, meaning their chromosomes, hormones, or anatomy do not fit typical male/female definitions.

@LissaKEvans @Heccles94 Lissa, can I ask do you dismiss all the scientific evidence for a small minority of people who have a mixture of gender markers, so are neither M or F, or do you just not care about them? I want to understand where you're coming from on this because I really don't get it

@Heccles94 Rubbish. This is just wilful stupidity and will chime only with the wilfully stupid. Girls - all girls - yes, Harry, even those who wear trousers and have short hair (*faints at the idea*) - are welcome in the girl guides. Full stop.

@seasidedolly2 @slothy_420 I love you x

@slothy_420 George!

gun to your head name a fish

@edgaralandough check out whether it interacts with medicines you take - it took two years to work out that shocking dizzy spells were caused by turmeric and one of my medications. Sorry I can't remember which

Turmeric kills cancer cells. Turmeric reduces arthritis pain. Turmeric clears brain fog. Turmeric heals your gut. 6,000 studies confirm it. Add black pepper. Absorption jumps 2000%. One spice. Ancient medicine. Modern proof.

@anon_opin Some and some

So-called "self help" books only exist to help the author, not the reader.

@anon_opin Yes, I cannot bear to have the word rape sitting on my counter as if it's just an everyday thing. Though clearly it is but I still won't buy it

It would be a huge relief to most Brits if we changed the name of our biggest oil seed crop to "canola" like the Americans.

@HannahIamthest1 I go the other way. I say how sorry I am that they have to do this shit job and hope they find something better really soon. They put the phone down

I love scam phone calls. I pretend I’m an old Yorkshire lad, desperate to pay them. My record’s an hour. I kept putting them on hold to “check my wallet,” yelling at my cat, and asking if they could speak up because my hearing aid was acting up. Then I spent 30 minutes reading my card details wrong… real slow. At one point, I told them my kitchen was on fire Great fun 😆

@seasidedolly2 @sixfootcandy Me too. I wouldn't care but I have some beautiful dresses I want to wear again

@sixfootcandy This is where I’m at. It’s really getting me down!

Being an adult is gaining and losing the same 10 pounds for the rest of your life.

@anon_opin Are you saying 'the lowest common denominator' aka people not as clever as you, should not have programmes they can understand and enjoy? Some people do have lower cognitive capacities but they're not just rubbish to be swept away. You're not forced to watch it.

Mrs Brown's Boys isn't THAT bad. Yes, it's crass, low brow and appeals to the lowest common denominator. But if you give it a real chance there is the odd funny moment. Actors' chemistry is good as well, albeit it helps as they're all family in real life.

@laurast51362949 @EdwardJDavey It seems obvious that men accused of serious violent crimes should absolutely not be allowed to suddenly declare themselves trans women. I'm astonished that any have been allowed to do so.

International Women’s Day is a chance to recognise the extraordinary contribution women make every day. While there has been progress towards equality, there is still a long way to go, and the Liberal Democrats will keep pushing for a fairer future.

@MichaelRosenYes Easy - Highworth 473

Question for over 70 year olds: can you remember your home phone number from when you were a kid?
