@_moIls It’s actually insane. The minute a girl is born to the day she dies, she’s always at risk of attack by some deranged man. Just because she has female genitalia.
It’s very interesting how so many men think of rape/assault as simply a legal line you can’t cross because then you’ll get in trouble. There’s no moral component at all to them.
@the_aiju Investigate further but he kept playing it down and when I asked him after why he said they don’t want to frighten people but I personally would have preferred the hard facts not this flowery language.
@the_aiju I worked in cancer services for a few years and I found this behaviour so strange and infantilising. There was a lady with liver mets everywhere and when on the ward round the doctor proceeded to tell her that they found a few spots on her liver and wanted her consent to
From @DollyParton’s sister Stella:
My big sister Dolly got her wings this past Tuesday.
If anyone gets to heaven I’m sure she made it right on time.
I know she’s showing out big time, in all her sparkles and shine.
That was my sister’s way.
Every Tuesday about this time before the sun came up and the world was still asleep she and I for many years,had our coffee together over the phone.
Being little farm girls we’ve continued to be early risers.
As she liked to say; “shoot Tedda we get more work done before the sun comes up than most folks do all day long!”
We would catch up on gossip, as sisters do, and drink coffee and make plans as it has always been our way.
My sister was one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I’ve ever known.
What the world saw is exactly who she was, so much so, she told me recently that if there was no hope for her, she would still allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future.
My sister was always thinking of others and if you want to honor her legacy, show more kindness, lift others up and give more of your time and resources as she continued to do to the very end.
I want to personally thank all of you for the out pouring of love and respect you are showing my sister.
Your love and respect for her is deeply felt by all of us who loved her first and it helps as we grieve her passing through our lives!
My Tuesday morning coffee time will never be the same but her love, respect and goodness will remain.
Dolly loved the world and everyone in it.
I would criticize and complain about it and she would laugh and say; “shoot Tedda, we’ve got more important things to do than worry about their silly asses.”
She was right and she proved it everyday.
She left the world a better place by being in it so let’s follow her example. Love and respect to all of you. Stella
@zapatas_mom Who would tell them they’re unattractive? Most women rarely comment on men’s looks to their face for obvious reasons. So unless their male peers do, they will go through life assuming they’re at least average if not attractive.
won't be taking any prime minister seriously until they lay out a plan to make england better for people born post-1990. it's tiresome being expected to foot the bill for literally everyone else and getting increasingly little back for it
A welfare state and pensions time bomb is coming because we aren’t having enough children
But nobody in power seems interested in supporting younger adults - who can’t afford family-sized homes and have big student loans

@prinkasusa Even worse when you have to prepare yourself to watch the girls in your life go through the same and there’s nothing you can do about it. You know it’s inevitable, you can only hope they make it through these experiences without too much harm.
I’ve always found NYE to be weirdly emotional, but it hits different cos I feel like I’ve wasted most of the year by bed rotting and having no self confidence (in general as a person & work-wise). I have no hobbies & not many friends so it’s just been a weird limbo year tbh lol
@T1494178470877@LoftusSteve Yes it's a pitiful existence that we have to pussyfoot around the bloated egoes of these violent retards, but we can't vote our way out of it because every government, Labour or Conservative, keeps importing more of them.
@theashrb There’s a great place that does lamb meat only. You should try it out. The restaurant is the iconic แต้ป้อฮวด (Texas Lamb/Goat), famous for its tender braised lamb dishes in Chinatown Bangkok.
