Frank, funny, factual, Fellow, physio. Come for the fanny, stay for the feminism. Writing on women’s health and women’s issues:

Evidence says #DoYourPelvicFloorExercises x3/day for 3 months gets 3/4 of women with stress incontinence dry (that’s the one where you leak a bit if you laugh, cough or sneeze). If it doesn’t work, hurts, or you’re not sure what you’re doing then come to clinic. #DryByChristmas.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@HelenMilburn That is an excellent point, I commit to doing better. Thank you for your emotional labour and for educating me.

Also, “doh, yip” xx

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

When Tobias Smollet wrote “Edinburgh is a hotbed of genius” he meant its very fabric has reminders to #DoYourPelvicFloorExercises.

There are worse places to live.

As long as you like cobbles.

@BernardBeatty4 I have several interchangeable ones.
I’ve never understood the concept of one true character and I doubt it’s psychologically sound- obviously, people change with mood, time and circumstance. Otherwise there’d be no Hero’s Journey, no wisdom, no personal growth or self discovery

I’m not sure I’m even the same *species* as Enormous Enes.

Rules are rules, Kanter says he has found his own true authentic self so he gets to play with all the other women. I bet he’ll have fun.

[The Post Millennial @TPostMillennial]

Enes Kanter was just kicked out of an WNBA game after a player got triggered by his pro-woman shirt.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@elniedunne Simply by standing up and speading his arms he shows the reductio ad absurdum.

He didn’t need to say anything to make basketball politics as nonsensical as Lilliputian politics, damaging themselves with perfectly pumped orange balls instead of eggs.

Beautiful.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@red_trout Well, he says he is a woman and that he wants to play - who amongst us would deny his self declared reality?

I agree with you - someone is going to have to explain why he isn’t eligible but other men are. They’ll have to define gender, and good luck to them with that.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

Kanter is 19” taller than me. Which is the length of a newborn or the height of a fox.

His arms are 5.25” longer than Sophie Cunningham’s.

He’s going to have a helluva point.

@sharrond62 @cathydevine56 Lovely photo.

@hightreebud @FrauBluchar @PoliceScotland @PSOSLothBord This man also describes himself as a werewolf. Do you have a policy on reporting on that sort of identity, @PoliceScotland?

How do you decide which aspect of self ID to use and which to ignore?

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@FrauBluchar @NoLGBTYScharter @EdinburghLive_

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@FrauBluchar @CatrionaMelvil1 @Dis_Critic I don’t agree, exposure to unnamed substances can be serious, and employers have a duty of care to staff. Of course it had to be followed up.

The person lashing substances and tape around the local community is being a nuisance.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@FrauBluchar @CatrionaMelvil1 @Dis_Critic It was council employees who called emergency services. Police and ambulance were needed on the other side of town because an elderly man was hit by a bus. Antisocial behaviour does harm.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

Sage advice from the library loo. #IAmWriting

#DoYourPelvicFloorExercises while we think about whether a loo would make a good life coach.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@hellonoot I’ve been yelled and spat at in that same street, what a difference a couple of fringes make!

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

Thanks, Linda, for chatting in Chambers St - it was lovely to hear my name shouted in the Fringe for *nice* reasons.
You made my day!

Women won’t wheesht, not even when they are heading for the train.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

Another fantastic fringe bus. Well worth navigating the crowds for the best seat in Edinburgh. BOOM!

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@mickbrick54 @SuzJamieson Can probably rustle up a familiar in the basket too.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

Noooo! I missed the date of this extraordinary anniversary! 48 years.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@mickbrick54 @SuzJamieson Willing to supply a basket, Eva.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

@e1duchess Corstophine is a hot bed of understatement.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

Fringe bus seat gets five stars. Boom!
