@emmatypesstuff I knew a lady who was a carer for her husband's elderly aunt and the aunt spent all her time talking about how wonderful her kids were and how she was going to leave everything to them and nothing to her nephew, let alone the woman actually looking after her.
Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
My #1 “younger millennial” trait is I am young enough that playing video games is a lifelong hobby of mine but old enough that I have absolutely no desire to play online against strangers.
My beef is with The Computer and The Computer only. Outsiders do not need to get involved
Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.
‘Twas the night before voting, when all through the nation
People looked up the details of their polling station.
Fibs had been told by politicians desperate for votes
About taxes and housing and those on small boats
While across the UK there was much corruption chatter
With Conservative candidates keen to sidestep the matter
Knocking on doors, they found the public most vocal
They begged: “Please support us; we’re not Tories, we’re local!”
With Lib Dem Ed Davey having the time of his life
And Farage returning to cause Tory strife
They left Keir's Labour troops well placed for success
All set for five years to clean up the mess
Campaigning all done, the teams gave a whistle,
Raced back to London at the speed of a missile
But I heard them exclaim, as they got on their bus
“HAPPY ELECTIONS TO ALL, AND PLEASE VOTE FOR US!”
Talk about impressive!
It's a HUGE win for Emma Raducanu.
She's beaten Elise Mertens in straight sets 6-1 6-2 to reach the third round at #Wimbledon#BBCTennis
