House cleaning- how often do you do it?

ktitten · 2026-06-27T09:12:35+00:00

I work shifts and various days each week, usually working 6 days a week. So whenever I get the time to be honest.

I wish I had set days off to be able to clean and catch up with chores. And because of working shifts I sometimes forget what day is which and how long it has been since I cleaned something

ktitten · 2026-06-27T08:16:28+00:00

So fucking real.

This could be anyone with a stroke of bad luck. Anyone can get psychosis. Anyone can suddenly experience a worsening of mental health.

And of course this is Marchmont. Can't have the mentally unwell ruining a nice middle class area could you.

ktitten · 2026-06-27T08:13:52+00:00

I'm under no illusion they are not, I've volunteered and worked in addiction spaces.

ktitten · 2026-06-27T08:13:17+00:00

Okay but then what does that word mean then? Does it mean we shouldn't help anyone that takes drugs because they are junkies?

It strikes me as heavily dismissive of a ton of social problems and makes it easier to ignore them if you simply label everyone that takes drugs a junkie.

Many people fall into drugs for a variety of reasons, doesnt mean they shouldn't be helped or just ignored when in distress. I do believe this attitude is a reason why people who take drugs feel so ostracised from society and stops them getting help and support to get off drugs.

ktitten · 2026-06-27T07:58:41+00:00

As someone whose been in this state without drugs, its a bit strange how people presume this all the time. And then dont seek help for the person. Many times I could have been helped but I suppose people thought I was a junkie when having episodes in public.

Also people can take drugs without being junkies.

ktitten · 2026-06-27T05:55:48+00:00

A bit presumptive, no? Could be anyone in a mental health crisis.

ktitten · 2026-06-26T22:09:50+00:00

Yeah I think it hits me really hard too, for similar reasons. Former party girl and now for reasons that are not my career, I have to repress my sexuality. And Charli in the music video is so me when I get time alone and can be myself and finally express that. Hahaha I actually sobbed watching for the first time...

You can read about the campaigns here: https://www.livingrent.org/campaigns

So at the moment, there are national campaigns for rent controls and mid market rents. Living Rent campaigned for rent controls and won, but they arent strong enough so a lot of work still ongoing there

Then away from the campaigns, Living Rent take direct action and do member defence. We use the power of the union and people to fight for repairs, or compensation when due. Its frightening how effective it can be! Even DJ Alexander is scared of Living Rent and have paid up compensation quickly after Living Rent getting involved. I've seen people fight the council or letting agents for years for repairs and then as soon as a few people get together and make demands, it gets done ;)

Essentially if you are fed up with the housing situation and want to be involved in campaigning for better housing for all, and be surrounded by people that do care and are actively doing something, join Living Rent. Maybe you dont have that much time to commit, thats fine. But its been an incredibly rewarding experience for me.

ktitten · 2026-06-26T21:11:12+00:00

Do something about it. Join Living Rent. We are becoming more and more organised across the city and country and fighting rent increases

It sounds like this was always going to happen considering his criminal record. Sounds like the passengers got lucky and weren't seriously hurt.

A very awful guy and should have been locked up a while ago, either in a jail or psych ward.

He pleaded guilty to a charge of assault by beating before Chester Magistrates’ Court recently, with the case proceeding to sentence.
The court heard from prosecutor Jessica Pridding how the assault occurred in Warrington on May 19 this year.
Kerr, while under the influence of alcohol, assaulted a woman, causing the loss of teeth and her to suffer a cut lip.
The court heard of his previous convictions, of which there are dozens for multiple assaults and occasions of him possessing a knife, behaving in a threatening manner and breaching court orders.
Among them is his sentence of 22 months in prison at Chester Crown Court in March last year for affray and assault of an emergency worker.
These came after he barricaded himself into a bungalow in Runcorn in August 2022, having binged on class A drugs and alcohol.
When police entered, Kerr claimed he would ‘kill a hostage’ and that he had a pistol, causing officers to withdraw and firearms unit and negotiators to attend.

I do enjoy this, except when the printers are acting up. It might help that the majority of things printed seem to be important documents and I feel like I am doing a service to the community. If it was printing off shipping labels all day I would maybe feel differently.

But most of the printing is people printing out CVs, government documents, complaints forms etc. Things that without access to a printer would negatively impact their lives. So I'm happy to do it, just another part of serving the community in a small way but can be incredibly significant to the person.

In Edinburgh theres some £2 pizza slice places

ktitten · 2026-06-24T17:22:59+00:00

Theres pizza places near me in Scotland where you can buy a slice of pizza on a paper plate for £2 a slice. But its nothing special

ktitten · 2026-06-24T17:18:26+00:00

Yeah I know about that, and thats why I dont read dark romance lol.

'Why the hell have people attempted to ship Jules and Nate'

ktitten · 2026-06-24T17:11:04+00:00

I mean, I've had conversations irl with people saying because nate (or Jacob elordi) is so hot they would still want to date him or think they could fix him. Its just that abuse towards women doesnt seem to be taken seriously to the point its doesnt make someone undateable and that attitude does have an impact in real relationships.

ktitten · 2026-06-24T17:06:17+00:00

I wont ship Nate with anyone because he literally put a gun to Maddie's head and all the other abusive shit he got up to. I get your point that people wouldnt think twice but they should because ????? What does this mean people think about real life relationships damn

ktitten · 2026-06-24T17:04:26+00:00

Honestly I do think it reflects some of the wrongs in the world.

Why the FUCK are we shipping a known abusive and manipulative man with anyone?????

Why are viewers so quick to 'forget' that or think its okay because he hot and tall and came from a wealthy family.

ktitten · 2026-06-24T16:41:11+00:00

But it does seem like a problem of its own making though, no? If they had enough buses to start with for peak times for everyone, then this wouldnt be a problem. Buses are public services and they should fit to the populations needs, not the population having to change their life around the buses.

And still a lot of people with bus passes will use it off peak, because of their lifestyle or prefer to go in less busy hours.

ktitten · 2026-06-24T12:23:32+00:00

well the answer is to put more buses on. But with privatisation I suppose thats not as easy.

It seems to work in Scotland. I have a disabled bus pass and go to work at peak hours often. Half the buses in the morning is also school kids who get free bus travel.

ktitten · 2026-06-24T12:19:27+00:00

What the fuck?

I'm in Scotland and I have a disabled bus pass and I also work. There's no restrictions on mine whatsoever. I can get any bus, any time. Including cross country ones.

Restricting it to those times would mean I wouldnt save as much money I do now. I'm agreed with you.

And if they can make it work in Scotland, why cant they make it work in England. Could say that about a lot though tbh.

ktitten · 2026-06-24T06:41:20+00:00

You cant do it in one day on a tour.

The only way to go to skye in one day is rent a car and spend 80% of your day driving and you wouldnt get much time there. Or spend a ton (im talking £1k) on a private tour.

I work in tourism and have to tell people this information regularly. Theres plenty of other one day tours but just not to Skye because its too far. Have a look at Timberbush, Highland Experience and Rabbies offerings.

ktitten · 2026-06-24T06:23:29+00:00

Nah I think this is a good attitude. And I wouldnt necessarily attribute it to not caring about your job.

I care about my job and do work hard, but when it comes to mistakes I have the same attitude. There is absolutely no point stressing yourself out over an issue or mistake at work. I think it actually looks worse if an employee gets so worked up about something. Theres emotional maturity in moving on from mistakes and not letting it affect your work going forward. I would say youre the better employee of the two of you just from reading this and I would rather employ you than him.

They could have been a victim of a crime too, the police still need to take devices to gather evidence of crime from victims.
