Sorry to depress anyone but I want to rant. Ableism is real, both overt and covert. People add to it without even meaning to or wanting to. And until a couple of years ago I was disillusioned to it.

Not gonna lie, when I was younger I always thought adults were being dramatic when they said “it’s one thing after another” I can now confirm, it’s literally one fcking thing after another 😔

The firework debate simply comes down to two types of people
The ones who want it banned or advocate for low noise fireworks are fighting for defenceless animals who cannot fight for themselves
The others are fighting for pretty lights & loud bangs
How pathetic some people are

that time of year where some cunt is letting off fireworks every night of the goddamn week for some unknown reason

I think we need to talk about the absolute joy of coming home from somewhere, taking your bra off, getting into your pyjamas and knowing you don’t have to go out again. There are few greater feelings.

do people realise that you can become disabled at any point? happened to me 10 years ago on a random day. Do you realise how heartbreaking it is to see a major political party with millions of voters literally not care if you live or die simply because you can’t work? fuck reform

In 2015, the UK introduced the 5p charge for plastic carrier bags.
Back then, the minimum wage was £6.70 an hour, meaning one hour's work could buy 134 carrier bags.
Fast forward to 2026.
Minimum wage is £12.71 an hour, but carrier bags now cost around 40p each.
That same hour of work now buys just 31 carrier bags.
So while the price of carrier bags has increased by 700%, minimum wage has only gone up by around 90%.
If minimum wage had kept pace with the price of carrier bags, it wouldn't be £12.71 today...
It would be £53.60 an hour.
Tell me again that wages have kept up with the cost of living.

that awkward moment when you start telling a story and you realize no one is listening, so you slowly fade out and pretend you never said anything.

In terms of buying power, a £25,000 salary in 1990 is the equivalent of earning around £75,000 today.
A £25,000 salary in 2026? That's closer to having £8,500 back in 1990.
But we're the ones who have it easy right?

It amazes me that some people are jealous of disabled people getting PIP... and yes i said 'jealous'. What kind of country do we live in where disabled people are demonised, vilified, made to feel guilty, like a common criminal for something that is beyond their control.
