I wish the British media would be more honest about their interviewees. "We couldn't get anyone qualified who was willing to comment in line with our ideological biases so here's some twat from a think tank, who has only the credibility our captions grant."

Haha, as if my oven shelves are clean enough to cook on! He’s having a laugh.

It’s a constant struggle keeping on top of it, isn’t it. I have to wait for the chicken to cool down before I can go back upstairs, so I’ll nibble away at it over the next half hour.

[Death, starvation, medical neglect]

Maeve’s ME/CFS ultimately left her unable to eat or drink and lacking proper care she slowly starved to death. The coroner’s conclusion that “There is no known treatment for ME“, missed the point entirely. So have others who’ve implied that Maeve died of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). Maeve was not asking for treatment – she was asking to be kept alive. Other people have been as sick as Maeve and survived. Other people have even been as sick as Maeve and fully recovered.

The difference is that they got care – and it wasn’t specialized ME/CFS care or care that could not have been done in a hospital or even at home: they received the kind of care that people who cannot eat or drink get as a matter of course, and that made all the difference.

I once asked my mum what the Swinging 60’s were like and she relied, ‘Pah, they weren’t swinging anywhere except for a few streets in London’. I always remember that when people hype up particular parts of the past.

And why haven’t any of Gail Carringer’s books been adapted? Her gay ones are way too spicy but Parasol would be a fab universe to televise.

For panels of a guy holding a magic lamp with a genie coming out of it.
The first panel the genie says "I will Grant you three wishes"
Second panel the guy says "I wish that people can't listen to music in public without headphones"
The third panel the genie says "Yeah, what the hell is up with that anyways!"
Fourth panel the genie says "Good wish bro, you still have three wishes."

Yes, I can tell that it’s just exhaustion but it’s tedious all the same. Here’s hoping tomorrow is a better day for both of us.

That sucks, I’m sorry. I’ve massively overdone it so I am also feeling utterly pants today. And it’s hitting like depression, because I’m in that ‘too exhausted to manage cheerfulness’ state.

I often think people are in love with the idea of being creative but actually what you need to love is the process itself because that’s the bit you’re going to be doing!
