According to this article, library staff aren't "ordinary people" if we get paid. There is a lot more to running a library than organising book stock, especially when a library is linked with the local council. It's just not viable to have volunteers who are also privvy to the sheer amount of personal information that library staff access.

Here's a lesson in marketing from back in the internet 1.0 days for you younguns who thought viral marketing only ever existed online. Back in my edgy preteen years, I spent a lot of time (I mean a LOT of time, for someone with an early broadband net connection) on Nine Inch Nails boards.

Message boards were an early version of forums. Forums were an early version of subreddits, essentially.

Here's another reason why people who claim work is only helpful to disabled people haven't got a clue what they're talking about: DNAs. DNA stands for Did Not Attend. If you miss an appointment at the CMHT, or with a psychologist, you are officially a DNA.

It varies from area to area, but as little as one DNA can result in you automatically being discharged from your community mental health team.

I see so much of myself in Mhairi Black, down to the accent. It's incredible to hear someone who talks like you in Westminster. Even moreso when they speak truth and sense in a place that very rarely promotes either. Interestingly, any time I post about Mhairi Black it'll be a few minutes before some man, some random wee gammon boy, gives me his opinion on her looks, her accent or his offence at her claiming to be equal to any man at Westminster.

Here are some thoughts from someone who is currently classed as obese re: fat shaming and how to get people to lose weight.

First of all, this news story has been in my mind a lot. Secondly, I'm going to talk about eating disorders, mental health generally, sexual assault and body image.

Still here? Okay.

Times in my life I have not been obese: all my life until around the age of 23 at which point I put on a LOT of weight.
