I've just signed this petition. Will you add your name and share too? It's about UK govt proposals to be able to snoop at people's bank accounts. OK they are benefits claimants but don't they deserve the same right to privacy of any human being or do human rights only belong to some humans?

I feel like the Chase "infinite money glitch" people found (it's just very simple, very traceable check fraud that people recorded themselves doing and put it on TikTok) is indicative of a very specific, very stupid mindset. It's people who aren't particularly smart assuming that there are easily exploited holes in the system that have no consequences, that their stupid asses are the first people to think of stealing money from the bank.

'I'm abrosexual - it took me 30 years to realise and friends made cruel remarks'

I'm abrosexual too. Took me till I was 54 for me to have a label for it. I thought the fluidness was just part of being bisexual (I didn't hear of bisexuality until I was a young adult).

Subway Tooter & Foggy Minds


Tried logging on to here via Subway Tooter, which I use for Mastodon. It's supposed to work with Friendica too. I tried the Friendiqa app but it doesn't even recognise this site exists. Anyway it appeared I'd logged on successfully but when I went to look at my feed I got a very long error message. The folks on Subway Tooter's help forum said it was a server issue and to contact the server owner.
in reply to Vanessa

I've got it partially working. The feed doesn't work but the notifications do and I can boost/repost posts from my Mastodon accounts onto my Foggy Minds account

Sorry I've not been on here for a while. Been busy.


Life has been very busy lately. I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had a lump removed & a lot of appointments. I dressing changes 3 times a week. I am having CBT counselling. There is the decluttering. And that is on top of my caring duties, trying to cope with my osteoarthritis, etc & trying to sort out a motorbility car.
