so I've been checking out Mastodon today and it seems pretty cool so far. If anyone wants to follow over there I'm at [email protected] Feel free to let me know if I cocked that up.

Dear 🇬🇧,
24,000 people — from the wealthiest to the poorest — are estimated to have died in 2023 alone due to preventable delays accessing NHS emergency care. Rich folks should know the truth: private healthcare won’t save you in an emergency. Only funding the NHS will.

Meanwhile those who are vulnerable, Disabled or care are going to have benefits removed for no other reason than being poor.
How can that be justified? How?? When we have royalty literally drowning in wealth?????

The #EBU have messed up a simple process for voting for #Eurovision and made it completely unusable by me as a totally #blind person. I had to dial my votes in manually as I couldn’t get the website or app to work. Really bummed as I had to have a friend read me the numbers.
It seems there are still a few people over here that aren't on Mastodon. Please join us over there when you get a moment. We hate to miss good content from people we've known for ages.
No, I haven't been possessed by aliens, but I might not be the only one to feel like this.

this is a perfect example of how to be respectful to people with visual impairments. just ask if we need assistance, and accept our “no” if we don’t need help!

Tory MP @KemiBadenoch claimed £1,827 on expenses to pay her utility bill.
Retweet if you would like £1,827 towards your utility bills.
yuck! our @morrisons potato wedges have leaked all over the rest of our bags contents. We think this is down to a manufacturing error and the bag not being sealed properly. not good, as this has happened to us before.
I'm doing it then. I wondered about this.

This has me cautiously optimistic for Uber. Not sure what someone over the phone can do in the moment if a person denies Dixie and I, but at least it gives an avenue for complaints to be filed. Been rejected so many times in the past.

We've had a decade of rule by a Party that doesn't give a shit about investing in services or the environment and they've managed to fuck the economy. Let's have ten years of the Greens so even if they fuck economy we'll have cleaner air to show for it.
should I or should I not put my Masto details in my Twitter name field? Does that come across as desperate? or is it just Make me easier to find? ... '
looks like "disabled Twitter" and "blind Twitter" are starting to disintegrate., so I thought it was a good idea to set up shop on Mastodon like a lot of people are. I'm very worried by some of the decisions Twitter have made lately, 3rd-party apps being one of them ... @
... anyway if you're leaving Twitter but still want to keep up with my goings-on and have a chin-wag, please follow @ladymunch@tweesecake.social .
