Hello! Just a quick note to say that I am no longer active on this platform, as I no longer deem it safe (for anyone). I'm @grumpysmiffy@aus.social on the Fediverse/Mastodon, and @smiffy on Bluesky, as a secondary platform.

Also, if their filters DO pick up on my sentiment, would love to talk to the responsible dev(s) when they inevitably get laid off, because I want to hang out with language nerds like that. /ENDE

LOL, but I seriously think that there are people with egos so fragile that they would commit their few remaining resources to filtering dissenting voices. But I don't see a community så toxicly wit og Anglo will have the programming to pick up my language. Serious about invites

Hello, the steaming dumpster fire, formerly known as BirdShite! As you can see from my bio, I'm not here now. Especially now that the PikHoved LortFisse in charge has gone the full what they have become. Sorry to my Swedish friends. having a bit of a Danish phase.

Anyway, loving the irony. Since LortFisse declared war on bots and spam, I have had nothing in my notifications but bots and spam. Last tweet was IMMEDIATELY fav'd by a bot. To my friends from the (really) good old days, I have some invites for the Blåhimmel place 🖤

@normal_ness Refurb? I'm trying not to buy new anymore, been doing that with laptops for years. Written on my refurb 8 plus.

What have other iPhone mini users moved to? The size is ideal for my pockets & I. My phone is increasingly playing up so I fear I will be forced to a larger phone 👎

@scretladyspider So, thank you, noted for later reading! It's a comfort to know that my experience may be unique, but I do share elements with others.

@scretladyspider It was only in my late forties that I discovered, through RoCur hosts that these things were - things - that I realised that I was a mixture of constantly sliding scales, so I can't in all honesty use labels at all, unless I am referring to NOW.

Good morning, happy day two of #AceWeek2023! Here’s your reminder that sexual attraction and libido are not the same thing!! Or if you didn’t know that because we’re taught they are the same, I wrote a blog post explaining how they’re different ⬇️ buff.ly/45KVQRk

@myrtleviolet @WeRWorld Nothing I've heard, but it's gaining traction very fast. If you want an invite code, I'd be happy to oblige.

[admin] Hello, lovely people, I'm back! But only very briefly. I thought that I might keep this account going on an ad-hoc basis, but recent events have made me realise that promotion further use of what this platform has become is unconscionable.

@traktorland Thank you, just overwhelmed with medical stuff. Not active on this platform anymore, as I no longer consider it to be safe. Just about to tweet where I actually am.

Hey @smiffy just checking in. U doing ok?

It's a professional relationship, where I would rather not have been the client, but it's been a real privilege.

The more I deal with nurses, the more convinced I am that there is NO WAY that they could possibly get paid enough. I have certain expectations of people performing services for me. Nurses very rarely meet them. Because they are exceeding them, All. The. Dsmn. Time.

Shit's getting real, for my trabeculectomy, on Friday! Hopefully THIS time, we can nail my glaucoma.

My understanding that the neti pot (nasal irrigator) comes from Ayurvedic medicine. Any #HistMed folks know if there was an equivalent practice in Arabic medicine?

@Littlun007 ...barring any further setbacks.

@Littlun007 Oh hells, yes! And desperate to keep it that way! Keeping wound under VERY tight scrutiny. Early on in the game, I was guessing that this was going to be a Thing for the rest of the year. Watching the skin growing back, I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case...

2351 is not an appropriate time to be woken up because someone wants to take your blood pressure, but I'm absolutely fine when a certain little black dog needs an urgent loo break. 🖤 Woof whenever you need me, because I'm actually HOME.

Not that I'm here much, but I have ceased reporting accounts/tweets here, so goodbye community-led moderation. Because. What. Is. The. Fucking. Point?

@asussexlady ...I have been in high risk settings, like outpatient appointments. Nurse yesterday didn't bat an eyelid, and put Prontosan in my weekend "goodies bag." Got an eye operation at the end of the month, just an overnighter. I hope.

@asussexlady Home, and hoping that's where I now stay. Looks like the infection is done and dusted, so going to maintain close surveillance, to catch anything else as early as possible, and to ramp up the prevention game, adding extra disinfection to the wound maintenance, after...

Today is really not a day when I want things to be running late. Desparately trying to catch up with work, so sitting in a corridor is not helpful.
