A very honest and hard post:

I'm doing a lot better with debt than where I was at the start of the year, and my biggest debt that costs me £600 a month is almost done.

But it's that £600 a month that is killing me.

There's £1859.88 left to pay, and I can't get a loan with smaller repayments to cover it anywhere.

If you can help, or know of anywhere I could loan the money from, please let me know.

I just want to be able to afford to live.

Talked to pcp about a wheelchair. She said i need a diagnosis to get one. And that we have to do extensive tests to see what i have.
She doesnt even know what mecfs is. She wants me to take anti depressants even though i told her i am not that depressed.

This feels hopeless.
am i just going to have to do start meds so theyll believe me? I really, really dont want to.

He asked for his blanket and he's using it as a pillow. Along with an actual pillow. :)

RAGE: [from the back] I'M AGAINST THIS

My sister is wants to start a cafe in Groningen (in the North of the Netherlands) owned and run by Deaf people.

Mostly because something like this didn't exist yet, because she would have loved to work in a place like this when she was younger, and because we can do with more Deaf representation.

She is doing crowdfunding for it now here (Dutch language):

Hey,

I'm looking for resources about toxic masculinity, hypermasculinity.
Especially resources destined for people who are trying to "get out" of those principles and change. I'm guessing such resources would be addressed to men but that's not mandatory

Reading material is fine but not very accessible to me, video essays or podcast would be better.

Would anyone have recommendation plz?

“Do the British really love queuing? Only when it's convenient, I think. When it lets their real values shine through: people knowing their place, separating the wheat from the chaf and, in the case of my queue-jumpers, even taking advantage of people you perceive to be lesser”

I get that it doesn't mean what it seems to obviously translate to in English but who allowed the humble robin to get the scientific name "Turdus Migratorius"

Is there a thing like breakdown rescuing for cars, but for bicycles and wheelchairs instead? 🤔
