they couldn’t be more racist if they wore white hoods while delivering the messages. so tired of douche-bro toxic white sad sack small d energy white dudes in the US — also, including the same guys with a different accent in Europe.

An otter swims right by me as I waded the River Bride in Blackpool this morning. I was so caught by surprise that I could not get my phone camera working. The OPW and Cork City Council plan to bury this entire stretch of river underground. Jack Chambers gave it the go ahead. #cork

i don’t know if too many people really see my posts anymore, and i don’t want people to specifically listen to me — but i wish people in general would pay more attention to the empaths and highly sensitive people in their lives. we’ve been telling you “bro” men are trash since childhood.

Oof. Missed my chance to live there. Landed in the Netherlands this summer because of the housing crisis which is here too but at least there’s a good infrastructure for living without a car.

My son works at the local museum in Wigan & was going through some of the comment/feedback cards after a colleague had done a school workshop with 6y olds. One of the questions was what do you like about living in Wigan? Usual replies…rugby team, parks, friends etc. But one read “There is no war” 😔

re: #cornell — let’s be abundantly clear: this sh!t goes on at _every_ university and all of them hide it to keep their crime stats (the og KPI) looking good for parents and the business/rep of the uni. if men had balls they’d all join me in turning this crap upside down.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

I hope all the middle-aged women whose lives have been vastly improved by an ADHD diagnosis understand that we’re on the list after trans and autistic people. RFK Jr thinks we should be sent to camps instead of taking a daily medication to bring our dopamine pathways up to a normal level.

No, because he’s making it about him and his feelings that are hurt when he’s refusing to acknowledge real harm in the world and instead turn his back on his friends and others who _he_ hurt to avoid “political” speech. Speaking out for people who are being slaughtered and referred to as animals …

a thing that bothers me about ed sheeran is that he should know better if he’s been paying any attention to marginalized communities that embraced him. don’t come at me with entitled white-boy tears about how sad you are to be judged by your words and actions.

Given my pronoun (she), my livelihood (selling), my proximity to the coast (spitting distance from the seashore), it would surely be a missed opportunity not to order this in. Also, it looks divine.
