@Discoplomacy i lived in one of the empty offices there during covid, our landlady owned the shop below. in 2021 there was still shops, cafes and barbers on the ground floor. I wonder if i'd ever lve that central again, it was insane
Got diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and my male gynecologist looked at me and said, “So… will you still be able to conceive? Will you be able to become a mom?” …Not a word about me being at higher risk of Endometriosis, ovarian cancer, or cardiovascular disease. Interesting how my health came second to my fertility.
🚨 BREAKING: Wireless Festival will keep Kanye West as its headliner
Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said:
"I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on October 7th, am pro Jew and the Jewish state, while being equally committed to a Palestinian state.
"Having had a person in my life for the last 15 years who suffers from mental illness, I have witnessed many episodes of despicable behaviour that I have had to forgive and move on from. If I wasn’t before, I have become a person of forgiveness and hope in all aspects of my life, including work.
"What Ye has said in the past about Jews and Hitler is as abhorrent to me as it is to the Jewish community, the Prime Minister and others that have commented and - taking him at his word - to Ye now also.
"Ye’s music is played on commercial radio stations in this country. It is available via live streams and downloads in this country without comment or vitriol from anyone and he has a legal right to come into the country and to perform in this country. He is intended to come in and perform. We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions.
"Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing (as was mine) and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do"
y'all want a boyfriend for EVERYTHING bruh. take your lil siblings to the pumpkin patch, facetime your grandparents, make your mom a spooky basket, travel somewhere with a friend, go out to eat w your family, fuck
