Underneath that dress, her heart was really made of stone

The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

Even more importantly, how do you make out with someone? And assuming the answer is “you don’t”, is it any wonder the lesbian bar was failing?

…organising presents, hosting parties and play dates, scrambling around to find donations for bake sales and fairs, making costumes for pointless dressing up days, doing homework, etc etc, on top of a full time paid job. It’s relentless. The expectations on mothers ramp up with each passing year

Also. I don’t spend any time on grooming and beauty because I am a haggard old hairy legged crone and I like it that way, but women’s work expands to fill the time available anyway. I don’t wash my clothes with a basin and mangle, but I spend my entire time ferrying my children to activities…

I preferred it before social media, when my favourite bands were probably still antisemitic but I didn’t know about it

Yep, I see that argument. It also applies to like, under 11s football, or high school athletics. The person arguing the correct, fair point looks difficult and petty and mean spirited. Is there any political strategy here that’s going to work for women? I honestly don’t know

becca @boodleoops.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Right. It’s always women being told the hill isn’t worth dying on, while everyone else will literally die if you don’t just cede them the hill. I can see that Park Run is probably pretty trivial, but so is most amateur sport. Nonetheless, men care about it, while women are told not to
020
becca @boodleoops.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Maybe. I’m not hugely invested in Park Run either and could be persuaded either way here. But I think the principle of fairness in sport is probably worth defending. And I bristle at women being told not to care about winning, because kindness and inclusivity are more important.

I think this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how seriously some people take sport, if the dads playing water polo at my holiday resort this summer are anything to go by

As a feminist, you know you’re doing something right when you criticise misogynistic elements of the culture, and men talk about you like this. Women who identify misogyny have been caricatured as joyless hags forever

I have taken this one very personally because it happened just round the corner from me and in eight years time when this piece of shit is released I’ll have a 15 year old daughter walking to school

A 15 year old girl was already so well aware of the violent threat men pose, that she thought to leave traces of her DNA in his car to assist a prosecution if he murdered her. Feminists are sometimes accused of hating men but tbh I don’t think we hate them enough www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I can’t do it. I cannot do staycation discourse. It’s a made up word. Why are people defending its true meaning as if it was given to us in scripture. Who the fuck cares

Is it just me or is the rate of discourse recycling on here very rapid? How are we doing “name ten acts you’ve seen live” and “don’t you just hate the term picky bits” again already? We’ve literally just done those. We need to up our game lads or this place really will die

becca @boodleoops.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I think M&S might have done a “home of picky bits” ad campaign which I do find a bit revoltingly twee. We can call them picky bits. I don’t want M&S to call them picky bits. It’s beneath them

becca @boodleoops.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Yes. I am now performatively hating the performative picky bits haters. It never ends

becca @boodleoops.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Yes, we’ve all got our limits. I know a woman who calls her husband “hubster” and honestly I throw up a little in my mouth every time. But I am fine with both picky bits and picky tea. They are accurate and parsimonious phrases for real things.

becca @boodleoops.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
As I think I’ve said on here before, performatively hating the phrases “picky bits” and “hollibobs” has become far more annoying than people actually saying those things

One of my children requested fish pie for dinner and being too lazy to make one I thought I’d pick one up from M&S. TWELVE POUNDS for a fish pie that feeds two people. Twelve. Pounds.

Exactly this. Endless blogposts rehashing his various beefs with the women he has decided are not good enough feminists, when what he really means is, they didn’t support him once he began to self immolate and became a liability.
