Both of these tags are right. I love when a cat will just put up with your silly human games. They love you and know you love them and are just happy with you.

The artist has drawn a lot more of her. Some highlights:
It continues:
So three years and one week ago (I checked), I asked my doctor to refer me for ADHD assessment. He was fine with it, and did so.
About a week later, I got a questionnaire, on paper, through the post. As though I were living in 19ThePast. It had a letter asking me to fill it out and post it back. It took me three weeks to buy an envelope. It took another to actually fill it out. When I did, I inserted the questionnaire, carefully wrote out the address on the envelope, stamped it, sealed it, and looked down to see the questionnaire still on the sofa. I had tried to post them back their own letter requesting I fill out the questionnaire. I, for one, consider this part of the diagnostic criteria.
Anyway, I finally sent it a week later, so it took five weeks in all. That was, as I say, three years ago.
Today, I had to go to the doctor for unrelated reasons, and I was like, "By the way. Do we know what's happening with the ADHD assessment? I know it's a long waiting list, but it's been three years and I literally never heard anything back. Thoughts?"
And today's doctor (a different one) pulled up my history to have a little look, and discovered that a week after I'd initially gone in - during the time I was supposed to fill out the questionnaire but was still vaguely trying to remember to buy an envelope - the referral people had responded to my GP and said "She hasn't done a questionnaire so we can't assess her." At which point, my GP was supposed to call and share this with me so we could discuss
He did not.
And then, of course, they did get my questionnaire, and he should have forwarded THAT to the assessment people at that point to advance the process.
He did not.
Which means I have just wasted three years and a week waiting for an assessment that was never coming. The whole thing came to an end. That was that. At no point did that first doctor ever reconsider any part of my case. He was told they couldn't proceed, and didn't even think to tell me; he just thought "Well, sucks to be her" and then moved the fuck on with his life, I presume.
FORTUNATELY today's doctor was fantastic - she immediately printed out the questionnaire, gave it to me with a pen, and told me to fill it out and immediately give it in to reception before I left. So huzzah for her, and we are back on for ADHDiagnosis, but Jesus Pissing Christ
They expected someone who's getting evaluated for ADHD to return a mail questionnaire within a WEEK?!
*takes a long drag off a cigarette through my grizzled beard* NHS?
Yeah T_T
And you know, I don't want to be too damning towards the NHS; apart from anything else, last year I found a lump in one breast, and from the day I noticed and called the GP to the hospital staff going "That's a cyst, let's drain it. You're cured." was... 6 days? No, 5. Start to finish. I called on the Wednesday, they removed it on the Monday. And even that was a delayed time, because of the weekend in between, AND it didn't cost a penny.
But their ADHD assessment systems are certainly much more lacking than the warm and crisp efficiency of Pauline the Breast Clinic Nurse
Update: Had a call from the doctor yesterday, SUPER apologetic
Turns out in the instant after I gave my questionnaire to the receptionist and walked out the door - my beautiful, hard-won, twice-completed, and above all essential questionnaire - it somehow vanished from this plane of existence and was immediately lost.
It has not been scanned. It has not been added to my file. It is simply lost. Gone. Missing. A questionnaire-shaped hole in the world. No more questionnaire for Elanor
"I'm so sorry," the doctor said. "I've made them look through every piece of paper in the building, but no one can find it. So, I've printed off another. Come in ASAP - it's waiting behind reception for you, and they've all been instructed to treat it with the utmost care and priority."
So that's tomorrow's job.
Weirdly, I am feeling zen about it. Encouraged, actually. This doctor noticed the problem because, one week after she was told about the three year failure, she herself cared enough to chase it up and so was able to discover the second crack in the system I had managed to find and fall in. Also, she's not posting me another paper copy for me to take five weeks to find a stamp over; she's arranged for me to go and do it in person. She's impressed upon the staff at the surgery that they must treat this questionnaire like it's news from Marathon, so that it instantly takes priority the second it leaves my hands. So like... I actually think that's a positive thing and a good sign that she's actively fighting my corner. Shout out to Doctor Lee, she's a real one
I also think, on balance, the irony of repeatedly being victim to the symptoms of Symptoms Disease from the very healthcare workers I need to be assessed for Symptoms Disease myself is, to say the least, poetic.
A small further update:
Yesterday I was pressed for time so I drove to work instead of walking (it's about 45 minutes to walk and the weather is currently Delightful). I then had a full day in work, and then at the end of the day, I had a lovely walk back home in the sunshine
It was outside my house that I looked around and went "Has someone stolen my car WAIT A PISSING MINUTE"
So today, I need to go in and rescue my car, which I accidentally abandoned in work, and then go and fill out my third ADHD questionnaire at the doctor's
I really wish the questionnaire had a box for this
THERE WAS AN EXTRA PAGE THIS TIME
THE QUESTIONNAIRE DID HAVE A BOX FOR IT

Ok now do NYT columnists
already this has tags in the notes like “#anti ai” but... this is just real life with almost everything. this is like grifter 101 please don’t exceptionalize needing to be critical of chatgpt.
This is literally how job interviews work, by the way, and then everyone is surprised the super-duper confident guy is also an incompetent moron.
It’s also where we get “con artist”, aka “confidence artist”. It’s someone who dazzles you with the assurance that they know what they are talking about because they speak with absolute certainty despite not knowing anything. I dare say it’s gotten worse with the internet because text and careful/exciting editing makes people seem more confident than before - and if you think you’re immune, you aren’t.
post the last image you saw
gotchu
wait no
Here's the last one I saw
Okay! :3
bigots can now reblog your selfie or personal post, mock it, and block you, and if you don't see it the second it happens, it can spread to thousands of their ilk with literally no possible way for you to know, unless you happen to be on one of their blogs and come across it. are you comfortable with this? i know i'm not.
What if I made fairies canon to my setting? You can't stop me.
Travel between dimensions is often difficult, and only the computational capabilities of an advanced AI can calculate the ideal conditions to tear open a temporary portal. Devices such as these are often worn by expedition units, and are able to do just that - by deploying a swarm of microdrones equipped with manipulator beams: these can pick up and move objects, project images, and combine their power to rip apart the fabric of space, albeit only for a very short time.
Each AI assistant exists within a wrist-mounted device, that also acts as a docking hub for the microdrones. They will normally use the drones to project an image of themselves for a more face-to-face dialogue, and each one has a unique personality and appearance that is customised by their operator and developed naturally over time, the two working together as companions. This holographic self uses the same tactile beam technology, and so is just as tangible.
Of course, illegal copies or stolen hardware are also prolific in black markets, where the hype of exploring the Medium still reaches those with adventurous spirits. These AIs are often given more rambunctious personalities, jailbroken by their operators for greater freedom to explore the extradimensional plane.
This might be the funniest reply I’ve ever seen in my life
I AM WHEEZING
PLEASE STOP REBLOGGING THIS OMFG
