@Ryan_Daigler I feel that my “ADHD” was trauma and possibly menopause (?) induced, but got significantly worse after I left the chronically abusive situation. It was like taking off a torniquet and the blood rushing in. I just became paralysed with inaction. It’s all so confusing.

🚨NEWS: In Sweden a woman has committed suicide after a judge released the migrant who raped her citing 'Not enough evidence'.

Light catchers: the Victorians and then Edwardians knew how to design homes to emphasise light and shadows. It’s a beautiful effect at sunset.

Vogue Magazine refuses to feature Melania Trump despite many branding her the ‘most stylish’ First Lady.

Meanwhile, the magazine has featured a transgender man wearing women’s clothes talking about his ‘taste’ in fashion and his ‘glamour.’

I once dated a girl who told me she’d agree with someone that 2+2=5 if they really believed it.

In her mind, sharing a delusion was better than speaking the truth and risking conflict.

In female-led groups, nonconformity is punished, consensus is rewarded, and dissent is treated as harm.

This is the operating logic of every major institution that now governs us.

I know I’m late to this but I can’t actually believe that Hello Fresh advert is real.

Not because it’s LGBT, I’d say the same if it was a heterosexual post. I just can’t believe society is so openly degenerate now. Sex is a sacred thing. This is a food company ffs.

Why does everyone have to shout about who they sleep with?

A beautiful example of the very last traditional Dutch architecture style, the Bossche School before everything in the country was smothered by the International Style (modernism). This is public social housing built in Nijmegen, 1952-1957. Now a protected landmark.

The problem with "altruistic" surrogacy is simple: If there aren't enough women willing to do it for free, the market finds women who can't afford to say no.

The market always finds poorer woman. That's the story of modern surrogacy in one sentence.

It's impossible to control .. it becomes the total underground cow boy industry that we have seen everywhere it is legitimised

.. including right here for strip joints

This is Callum Taylor, 35.

He is a convicted ped0; he sexually assaulted a 12YO girl in 2009 - and walked free.

He was caught with CSA images in 2025 - he walked free.

He's now breached court orders using false names and secret bank cards - and walked free.

He turned up to court like this 👇- with a cuddly toy and a child's backpack.

He's in the process of changing his name to Felix Parker.

🚫What is it gonna take for him to be jailed?

If only he'd sent a spicy tweet.

Ive just returned from the most wonderful trip in beautiful Montenegro.
Wonderful people.
Spotlessly clean.
Proudly Christian.
Children play outside alone.
Defend and celebrate their heritage, culture and traditions.
Zero immigration.
Zero crime.
Zero tolerance for disrespect and if you do step out of line - the harshest punishment. It makes you realise how broken and lost the UK 🇬🇧 has become.
Let’s be more like Montenegro! 🇲🇪 ❤️@RestoreBritain

This article in todays Sydney Morning Herald @smh by @melfyfe and carla hildebrandt is one of the most important domestic violence articles I have read in a very long time.

Professor Heather Douglas is calling for Australia to recognise what some experts describe as "slow femicide" — women who die by suicide after years of domestic violence, coercive control, intimidation, terror and abuse.

Around 15 Australian women die by suicide every week. Research suggests that between a quarter and a half have experienced domestic or family violence.

The question is simple: if years of abuse drive a woman to take her own life, why do we stop talking about the abuse?

In 2010, after extreme domestic violence where i was nearly killed and severe trauma, I attempted suicide. I spent a week in a coma at Royal North Shore Hospital and was left with a hypoxic brain injury that affected my memory for years and still affects me today.

My suicide was not a cry for help i wanted to die and was angry that I'd been saved.

But there is another part of this conversation we rarely have. What about the women who don't die?

What about the women who survive and have to live with the consequences?

People assume surviving is the happy ending. It isn't always.

I was in far worse condition after my suicide attempt than before it. I woke up with a brain injury, severe psychological trauma and a life that had completely collapsed around me. I couldn't function properly. I couldn't work. I couldn't think clearly. I was an absolute shell of the person I had once been. My brain injury impacted me severely.

Domestic violence doesn't just kill women. It leaves thousands more living with catastrophic physical, neurological, psychological and financial damage.

We count the murders.

We rarely count the suicides.

And we almost never count the women who survive both. The aftermath of domestic violence and abuse is my focus now.

It's time we started recognising the full toll of domestic violence in Australia.

Full beards were not sported by Regency gentlemen. Apparently they were only worn by the elderly, the poor and the insane and considered quite outlandish.

However, I suspect this is not the only anachronism awaiting us from this production...

I love the Antiques Roadshow because I know BBC execs hate it
It's 'hideously white' because all the invaders haven't been here long enough to own, steal or pretend a family heirloom has been in their family for a hundred years because they only arrived on a boat 40 years ago

@Lady_FanAccount I think this was an awful thing for him to do.

Listen to sex workers when they assure you that the men buying them are misogynists who treat them as an acceptable outlet for their violent, depraved fantasies.

Has anyone ever managed to explain why so many of the best software engineers in the world are trans women? And why this same pattern doesn't show up in other technical fields?
