1: I hate this stuff on International Women's Day, shouting at you that you have to be a bloody superhero when you're tired and already have enough to do.
2: I think this is actually about cats.
Morning all.

You do sometimes really get it driven home that American Christianity was founded by the protestants so weird Britain had no choice but to persecute them.
Jesus Christ.
The most classless oaf imaginable, always, at every opportunity.
Yes! I think it's just heat.
It is a fact that 'hygge' in Norwegian is pronounced hygge, and in Danish is pronounced *vom*.
The Danish language is like someone speaking Norwegian while being sick.
(sorry)
Booked trains to pop and see Mum the weekend after Mother's Day, for I am a terrible daughter (in 2020 it was the weekend before, which then worked out miraculously well). Already there's something here I'm going to be missing, so we'll see what else comes up. ALWAYS something on here.
I am absolutely DMable. :)

I think this is a factor in the Emperor's New Clothes-iness of it all.
I mean, this was as much as I dared to say at the time: bsky.app/profile/vict...
Music and poetry (or lack of) aside, there's often this expectation on women, when two awful people are at it with each other, to take the side of the one who has ovaries. You're not allowed to say that they're both awful, because one of them's on your team and one isn't, except I'm Team Not Awful.
You know +songs+, with melody and poetry.
I also think 'perv specs' works.
Yes, she's just talking us through how the husband she knew was like that when she married him turned out to be like that.
She could have written some songs about it, maybe? Then I still wouldn't care, but they might be more interesting to listen to.
I feel like the only person who thinks Lily Allen's album is a bit rubbish. I can't be the only person.
holding old timer bats so they can still feel like flappy lads is some real heartwarming stuff
This is a really remarkable house:

None of the websites I have consulted mention that you can get round the criminal convictions issue for a visa if you're a massive Nazi, but you can apparently get round the criminal convictions issue if you are a massive Nazi.
(It's being rude about the Nazis on social media that's an issue.)
I think we should allow Trump to choose Iran’s next leader as long as the rest of us can choose America’s. Because it’s clearly far too important a job to be left in the hands of Americans.

Oh while we’re at it:
1) “It’s almost mother’s day!” in my inbox - oh yeah no problem doesn’t really apply to me any more, no offence taken though
2) “WE ARE A CONSIDERATE BRAND AND JUST WANTED TO CHECK IF YOUR MUM IS DEAD SO WE CAN STOP REMINDING YOU SHE’S DEAD AHEAD OF MOTHER’S DAY” - y tho
I hate this so much. And you get it again in June for Father's Day. An inbox full of: "IS THE MENTION OF MOTHER'S DAY UPSETTING? IS THIS UPSETTING YOU?" - which is rather upsetting.
2. D mentions distant possibility of research trip to USA. I am now expert on definitions of 'moral turpitude'.
Today's 'dead giveaway I have ADHD really':
1. Conversation where I explain how puffin crossings damn near cause me physical pain by forcing me to give my undivided to the little box. "Puffins are brilliant, though."
Ironically, given +her+ inability to understand complexity and nuance, I was dismissing her as plain thick. You could be right.
I'm not.
Seeing that person writes for a living, something I'd love to be able to do, has deeply depressed me.
Yes, but things do tend to go in that direction there!
