Dear @santanderuk, whilst I have genuinely appreciated the kindness of your bereavement service, I'm not sure getting an email asking me if I would recommend your bank based on my recent interaction is an appropriate time... can't you turn these off for such circumstances?

This, this, and this again!!
The neurodivergent urge to stay up until everyone’s asleep, just to finally have a moment that’s yours, no demands, no interruptions, nothing expected of you.

What's the best portrayal of an autistic character you've seen on screen? I know I'm behind the times, but I've just watched Mr Mercedes on Netflix and Justine Lupe playing Holly Gibney was great, I thought.

Mixed feelings - the annual sadness of taking down the Xmas decorations, but the joy of seeing snow starting to fall outside...

Yes, yes and yes again!
Restaurants - if you're almost empty, sitting the three tables you've got in all next to each other does not create atmosphere, it just pisses off everyone involved. Give people space.

That wonderful feeling of signing off work for the last time this year... Merry Christmas everyone!

The Galactic Empire really weren't thinking ahead with its dedication to making everything satin white or gloss black. One gets instantly dirty, the other scratched and scuffed within a few months. With that lack of foresight no wonder the Rebels figured they had a chance.
