But something else really bothers me when it comes to this sort of nonsense. <br/>Sure, these assholes are apparently happy to stop supporting an organisation even though 98.8% of the people the organisation save aren’t the people they’d rather didn’t exist. <br/>But the folks in the small boats do exist and they would prefer that they just… die. Serves them right, apparently.<br/><br/>Personally I find it just as, if not more horrifying that they want human beings to die. That they don’t care how many other “innocent” people also die because they want these specific people to die is abhorrent. But they’re all PEOPLE. <br/><br/>I see it in the rising hatred of disabled people and trans people too. <br/>It’s intrinsic to me to try and see other people’s perspectives and motivations, especially when they seem so contradictory to my own - to be able to understand how humans function. <br/>But I just cannot get my head around hating the concept of someone else getting free stuff SO MUCH that you would prefer that they die instead.<blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note130pz3ysptvjl6zra0t8ewd6e6zayrckslvzsl7egtcafuw7a920qepfc0t" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note130p…fc0t</a></span><br/> </div> Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this.

All music and theatre students, almost certainly at least 90% neurodivergent. <br/><br/>12 people on my floor including me. One tiny kitchen. <br/>Casual conversation in that kitchen revealed I was the only one with a VCR. My parents had upgraded and given me their old one before I left. <br/><br/>Another evening the topic was Rocky Horror Picture Show. I admitted I hadn’t seen it. <br/>It was quickly decided, admittedly without much input (or resistance) from me, that a RHPS watch party had to happen. <br/><br/>One of my new friends went home over a weekend and brought back their tape and one glorious evening at least 11 people (probably more) crammed into my tiny dorm room to watch it. <br/><br/>In that stuffy 60s concrete room I sat, clutching my coffee mug of cheap wine, mesmerised. <br/>The moment Tim Curry descended in that lift something changed my brain chemistry. <br/><br/>We all dressed up to go to the Student Union a few nights later. For the first time in my life I was surrounded by people who weren’t afraid to play with their gender identity and strongly attracted to a man in tights and stilettos. <br/><br/>Thank you Mr Curry. <br/>You were magnificent.<br/> <img src="https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/167/227/777/294/951/original/0c7248e9849bd658.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-08-27T11:27:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst29hfdfuv6ufetp2d7z5ufuy4m3a0r9jrah58uq2sw20gk6gal9gzypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvct3ysa6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0pquuxgj5qcchkvjlxjrdjrwyxw9zdmarlhk494xjd770kpdzqus6nt908'>nevent1q…t908</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I remember when I found out “Don’t Worry Be Happy” (yes, same guy) had no instruments and it was all him. 2026-08-20T11:28:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0pquuxgj5qcchkvjlxjrdjrwyxw9zdmarlhk494xjd770kpdzquszypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvc22vxfk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdlysrn9vj0mwl5ktu058ev0xxl53pl9xwzw0h6292d0kk2m35sgsleu7nh'>nevent1q…u7nh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I am still just as blown away by that video as I was the first time I saw it. <br/>Incredible talent. 2026-08-20T11:01:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdlysrn9vj0mwl5ktu058ev0xxl53pl9xwzw0h6292d0kk2m35sgszypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvcq57gfr I got to use my favourite Bobby McFerrin video in my lesson today so I’m sharing it with you. <br/><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=codmxk7uLv8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=codmxk7uLv8</a> 2026-08-20T10:55:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqc40u470payrfzrngtvw4r4sy7u8kpwlgq9yp0kl0e7fu097mcsqzypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvc6m7gy8 I quite like this photo I took yesterday because it looks like a bit fell off.<br/> <img src="https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/090/322/354/904/804/original/bb5ef405c9aed14c.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-08-13T21:28:53Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs05r4unxlnsf7x0g5ek0xxulktl2dzakf67y7xl36a67dkcv4mwyszypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvck60vyc Today is “There Will Come Soft Rains” day.

During the usual half hour of incessant negativity, for once I actually made an effort to interrupt and tell her stuff about my life even though she doesn’t really ask. <br/>One of the things I told her was that I got a bikini recently. I knew I shouldn’t have the second the words came out of my mouth. <br/><br/>She *demanded* I send her a photo of me wearing it and it’s making me feel… odd. <br/>It’s not that I don’t want a photo because I’m ashamed of what I look like. I’m actually probably the most content and positive about my body I’ve ever been in my life. <br/><br/>But firstly, that’s in spite of her. Her toxic attitude to how she thinks bodies and *my body in particular* should look drastically affected my whole childhood and continues to be problematic well into adulthood. There are behaviours and beliefs she demonstrated and forced on me as a child that I’m only just beginning to understand and undo. <br/><br/>Secondly, isn’t that a weird thing for a parent to request of their adult child, let alone demand? I can’t even figure out why she’d want to see me in a bikini. <br/><br/>Part of me kinda wants to do it to see if she’d notice or comment on my weightloss. I haven’t told her I’ve lost anything or that I’m on wegovy. I didn’t (and still don’t) want her opinion on any of it. So maybe that would invite the exact commentary I’ve been avoiding? But do I care? 2026-07-23T14:12:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxk3tdgqd9qvk3ez2dg7mdm9vsqrqq2p4hc2qwlhaqkqn503wh4xqzypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvc3sstyp I picked up my guitar for the first time in years today.

In total I’ve lost 14.4kg or 2 stone and 4 pounds. <br/><br/>I wish I could say that feels like an accomplishment. It does in a numbers sense I guess. But I’ve yet to see any noticeable difference in my body. I’m wearing the same clothes. I feel the same size. <br/><br/>I am trying so hard not to focus on the long journey but it’s hard when 2 stone should feel like a big win and it doesn’t, not really. <br/>I wonder if I’ll ever feel it or if my brain will just keep telling me it’s not enough. <br/><br/>I’d gained slightly again last week. I’ve done no exercise during the heatwave so I put it down to that and water retention. <br/><br/>I’ve just ordered another 1mg pen - the first time I’ve stuck with the same dose for more than the 4 week minimum. Partly because the side effects have been especially bothersome and partly because it’s a price jump. <br/><br/>I’m somewhat dreading getting back to the exercise but I don’t have any excuses now it’s not so unbearably hot. <br/><br/> #TaperingTroggie 2026-06-01T09:28:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsplxpm9tn5schk8ks6lautj2kdjxv9senxv64s0mvekj5j2np5eqgzypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvc9j6w7s Didn’t do a check in on Monday, not here anyway.

Very few buildings have shutters, zero aircon in homes unless you’re fairly wealthy or buy portable aircon units. Most people don’t due to the cost to run, plus they’re huge and inconvenient for the 2-3 weeks a year they’re needed. Even most public buildings don’t have aircon except for supermarkets. <br/><br/>When we have a 30° day, buildings take days to cool down. <br/>When we have multiple hot days in a row it is *RELENTLESS*. Especially in larger towns and cities. <br/>Imagine trying to sleep in a sealed bathroom with a hot shower running and you’d be close. 2025-08-13T09:36:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0qcjxqd7p6kh4dmzgnwxsv2js9caneznnxnnj7zr6k5pl25wvulqzypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvcc6zgxv I have done all the things I think you’re supposed to do to evacuate heat from a house - opened windows while it was cooler, pointed a fan out of the bedroom and opened the loft hatch. <br/>I was eyeing AC units yesterday but the reasonably priced ones have all sold out and we don’t have £££ to drop. 2025-08-13T09:24:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9xwgx4fqgxa0hwzcz4cks7zzvdv6gkf8pc2k0xnkajg0wg6xws9czypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvclrdn0l Best Christmas present my folks ever got me.

I think I need to start timing the recovery process because my brain tells me I’m going to feel absolutely awful. <br/><br/>I do. I feel out of control, exhausted, in pain, breathless, sweaty and uncomfortable… for maybe 5 minutes? Probably less. <br/><br/>So I need to remind myself that this phase is temporary and I will feel fine after it. Because I do. <br/><br/>But for some reason my brain focuses on that few minutes as a reason not to move in the first place. <br/>#FattyFitness #ActuallyAutistic 2025-07-19T10:21:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqp70kgl6ssyknh7eem9gm70n23l008n0zgjqquwkkqnlcertqpqszypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvc3ejwxu When your local water provider says you’re not allowed to keep your pretty garden flowers alive but billionaire companies can continue consuming whole reservoirs to cool their fucking AI habit, there’s something up with that… 2025-07-11T17:05:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg9z4lffasn6htfl8vhfckkm8gna55rmravf6jgj8gmcup6uvfuvszypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvch4hj65 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvgj3nksraljjqdupv6ckp863nsv7f88j5jq2p5qdhc26h4tjledgp84ll7'>nevent1q…4ll7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The thing is, pre-cut veg *is* for lazy people. Laziness isn’t a crime. It’s also convenient for busy parents and folks working long hours. <br/><br/>Accessibility is for everyone. <br/>It is extremely rare that something accessible to a disabled person makes things *less* accessible for the non-disabled. 2025-07-06T09:11:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvgj3nksraljjqdupv6ckp863nsv7f88j5jq2p5qdhc26h4tjledgzypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvc4zvk8t I used to think packaged pre-cut veg at the supermarket was for lazy people. <br/><br/>Then a disabled person pointed out it was a lifeline for them because they lived alone and couldn’t cut it up themselves most days. <br/><br/>I had never even considered that. It changed my perspective and I think from then on when something seems “lazy” I always ask myself “is this just accessible?” <br/>And it’s nearly always the latter. <br/><br/>It’s not hard to listen to someone when they say something is not accessible and it’s not difficult to shift your perspective. <br/>I don’t know why so many people won’t. 2025-07-06T07:23:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg5t5we9pfl37sgmtl4y0p2t2aufte3p547r3cx6kkqxtv2r2xjqczypczjyd8qyhpupx084untuq6hjy63xaax85jn9jy2y72yh77tvjvcvsj2lc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqr593j94fvh37qyydmtk6ct6t3h5q8r2uf3r6f4jzcg23hxmg2kgurhp8y'>nevent1q…hp8y</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think I’ll get to know her a bit more first but she will need a name. <br/><br/>Also, the bit I’m most looking forward to - decorating.
