AN Other

Usually watching and learning, but rarely noising (on here). Prone to siding with the underdog, whomever that is, at any point in time. Plant addict! 🇸🇪🇬🇧

Rediscovered the truest of truths for this era buried in my timeline. I felt the need to resurface it.

Et tu Féile. It’s been incredible to see how the West Belfast festival, dependent on free content created by others, venues given for free & millions from taxpayers is doing crisis management. Blocking out criticism & censorship because they’re discriminatory. @ArtsCouncilNI 👇🏼

I once trolled Mumsnet with "my 5 year old won't drink coffee unless I put 4 or 5 sugars in it, is this normal?" If you were one of the outraged mums rushing to defend my kids from caffeine - I'm not in the least sorry. It was glorious.

@anishmoonka This is all fascinating reading.
My question: Has anyone done any studies comparing results like these with those of adults who have no conscious inclination towards human children, but who have cats or dogs at the centre of their lives? Asking for a friend 😏.

@xevekiah my partner was dx'd with a bad shoulder and told about the physio self referral service for his. I only found out about the physio option thanks to my partner's dx.
My GP was happy to abandon me with a chronic bad shoulder, a horrible dx of fibro, and no help or follow-up. /end

@xevekiah "unilateral localised fibromyalgia" (no trigger points, no depression, no brain fog...). I challenged that there and then because it was obvious BS, but he was adamant and chivvied me out the door with no further help or advice. In contrast... /2

@SuperDopeJax Oh, that's tough. But hopefully you can find someone to give a second confident reading. So hard to know what to do when our four-legged children are or might be suffering. Hope he is genuinely on the mend. 💚

@authenticWMN @junemcmaho44231 I.e. for clarity, I see it as nothing to do with gender, at least it wasn't a few years ago. All other available female titles anger me because they're relics of a time when women needed husbands to open bank accounts etc. Titles serve no real purpose than to denote "status".

[AN Other @HumynBeing]

@authenticWMN @junemcmaho44231 I'm on GC side of all this, and the school sounds depressingly excessive, but I see Mx debate differently. Miss=unmarried, Mrs=married, Ms=misheard, ignored or construed as "divorced". So Mx is an option that says "marital status is not relevant", ergo a feminist option imho.

@aburkhartlaw @roubenate @lisadingman Partner literally just walked in as I posted that and said "Hello Teddy Bramble Bear!" to the cat on my lap 🤣. Completely ignored me of course.

@aburkhartlaw @roubenate @lisadingman My two are as often called by their various spirit names, like Gremlin, Monster, BagPuss and Elephant, as they are by their real names: Suki and Bramble. It's just how it works with cats.

@EDI_Airport I've just gone round the houses to find out the current status of this issue at EDI. Do you not think you should have somewhere obvious for info like this on your actual *website*? Why must we have access to a 3rd-party social media account to get important ops updates from you?

@WDIAfghanistan Hi again, I checked the details and Go Fund Me say they do have a monthly/recurring donation feature for PayPal, Credit and debit cards. I couldn't see it where it should be when I made my donation, but maybe it's just a setting that needs to be switched on on your side?

[AN Other @HumynBeing]

@WDIAfghanistan Thank you for replying. I understand it may be difficult to make account details available and I was surprised Go Fund Me doesn't provide a subscription style option. I'll try to remember to donate in regularly, but with any luck someone might suggest an alternative solution.

[AN Other @HumynBeing]

@WDIAfghanistan Is there a way I can set a regular monthly donation to you? I've looked at the Go Fund Me and I can't easily afford a lump sum in one go, but I can donate a tiny amount every month and would like to do that. Others with more money than me would probably be happy to do the same.

@FemCondition First thing that came to mind for me: How, on a moving plane, do you make sure you're pointing the right way?

[AN Other @HumynBeing]

@ama_a93 @Etsy ...it's pointless reporting scam stores of this type as @Etsy routinely ignores them.
I will definitely think twice about using Etsy if this is how you manage the sellers you rely upon. Authentic Sellers, if you have your own sites, I will do my best to find you there! 💚 (3/3)

[AN Other @HumynBeing]

@ama_a93 @Etsy ...tat from China, where he proudly told me he'd got me a piece of craft all the way from Texas (I'm UK). I received no response to my report from @Etsy and THAT store is still operating. I see many similar complaints in the reviews. Reddit tells me... (2/3)
