Seeing more and more women at #FediForum each time is really heartening! Go women in tech! And also women showing up in tech spaces to show that non techy skills are also important in building the Fediverse!

People who make bread, specifically by hand, what adjustments do you make when using wholemeal flour? I'm wondering if it's worth me putting in extra yeast to help it rise better? #Baking #Bread

People of the internet, lend me your sense of choice to share something I am very, very excited about! I made this! From an old scarf! It's a wheatie (microwaveable heat pad) that I can put all along my spine and tie it, or around my stomach and tie it. And I made it all myself!!! Also my sewing machine is fixed. I am so fucking proud of myself! #Sewing

Placed an Ocado order. Worked on my @kbtl.bsky.social class. And my brain is going "you're lazy and did noth...

Trans people in Wales need your help right now (a thread) Info from the Trans Tech Tent: NHS Wales’ Quality, Safety and Outcomes Sub-Committee has transphobes in it. The tories said the Welsh Gender Service was too good at its job and some dickhead journalist has made it everyone's problem. Cis folks - keep reading and do the action points at the end of this thread, then boost and directly contact your other cis friends to get them to do the same. #TransRights #WelshPol #WalesPol 1/?

omg can I please catch a break? Not sure if the "coming down with something" feeling I have is just period related but if it isn't and on top of immense joint pain, and a return to period pain, I am now also coming down with a cold or something, I am going to write a strongly worded letter to the Universe!

You won&#39;t see my dogs at polling stations today because I voted by post last week! But I did vote 🗳️ Vote for the people who they&#39;re trying to stop voting. Vote for the trans folks who will suffer if you don&#39;t. Vote for a more humane politics. #UKPol #Senedd2026 #LocalElections

People of the Fediverse, I have a genuine question for you: How do you learn to enjoy not doing things? Like just sitting around watching TV or something? How do you learn to find fun and joy in that?

I have a #FediForumFriday follow up question about the demo that EU-Haul demo (I can't remember who did it, sorry!) and Bsky: Can I use my bridged Bsky account (as in the one @anewsocial@mastodon.social creates when you bridge from Mastodon) and move that to an EU based Bsky server, and the bridge still work? If no, is that in the works? #FediForum

Hey, electric #Wheelchair users, I'm planning to paint mine pink. Is there anything I should know? I've got car paint, a base layer, the colour, and a lacquer to go on top. I'm just planning to do the frame. Have I missed something obvious I should be considering?

I am so unwell I have napped. Unheard of apart from when I had glandular fever as a teen and flu in my early 20s. I can usually barely sleep at night in optimum conditions, let alone nap. Tested negative for COVID yesterday. Will test again this evening cos I have The Fear. But I think it&#39;s likely just a cold and my fucked body can&#39;t fight it.

Very grateful that @IvysRequiem is sorting some admin for me today, including fixing my error in making the delay repay claim for the absolute trashfire that was our trip to Birmingham the other weekend, and contacting my wheelchair seller to see if they will do anything about the broken wheel housing thanks to Cardiff&#39;s pavement.

Well this afternoon was utterly fucking terrifying. I was feeling real sketchy before my UC appt. Started being real dizzy and faint during it, lady doing it said she could see me going paler. Getting out of the taxi at home my legs just stopped working and I ended up laying on the front room floor twitching and unable to move for 30+ minutes. If I&#39;d been on my own I dread to think how differently it would have gone.

RE: https://toot.wales/@alexisbushnell/116443842047664326 People with #PoTS - is this standard for that? It was actually 2 hours I was on the floor. And then yesterday it happened again but 2 hours laying in bed with shortness of breath, body twitching, out of it. #ChronicIllness
