Doesn't making it 'official' just make it a name?

Cis man here - I don't really recall it happening to me, but I remember seeing it with my older sister pre-teen, and my daughter and her friends from maybe 6. I saw it with my son to a much lesser extent - and it didn't feel the same, less threatening more encouraging.

Oh, I very much agree - mental health and women are both badly underserved. My only point was that if the same risk curve is true in men and women, the cause is likely to be at least in part other causes (whether biological or social or whatever) than perimenopause.

I'm not sure it can particularly be attributed to the menopause - that's the same age bracket as the highest rate for men, who are still ~3x more likely to die by suicide as women.

As a UK person, Hon (and Rt Hon) is the contraction of Honourable (Right Honourable), used in politics.

I did stop listening to Matt just due to overload, so don't know if that still holds as his platform has grown.

I know Origin Story isn't interviews, but you both try to give ideas space to breathe, and can be equally generous in understanding and damning in judgement.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I liked Matt Forde for some similar reasons to your podcast - the long form interviews by someone understands the subject matter and it's willing to challenge. Most politics podcasts are just the horse-race, and the news is misleading snips.

Out of interest, if she genuinely doesn't feel English, and identifies with either Britain or her Asian heritage much more strongly, is it possible she *isn't*? It seems obvious to me 'being English' is something you can opt in or out of in some circumstances, so I'm not clear on how to apply it.

001

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I think the 'giant bins' feels like generalised recognition that they obviously had a major impact, important works etc. But saying A is _better_ than B is a much finer and more subjective distinction.

7yo daughter didn't understand the sniggering *at all*

My son and I planned a beautiful family trip up that mountain - there's a cable car, wonderful alpine views, a couple of nice restaurants. PLUS you get to see your mum's face when she realises you're going up Mt Wank on the Wankbahn to the Wankhaus.

And all that on top of being born into the Royal Family, an environment which is itself deeply strange, pressured and probably not the best for raising healthy, well-rounded kids.

I just started RDR2 yesterday after going all the way through the Horizon games. And yes, I also punched my horse. And almost immediately we were better bonded.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Oh no, I just thought about politics for a moment, and now I want Oblivion. *Luckily*, I'm at Alton Towers, about 5th in the queue for just that ride.

Some of which may be connected of course, with entrenchment in camps tending to dictate views across a range of not obviously related issues

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

This feels equally true with the majority of reporting - especially politics, but also sport, tech, media etc

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Suella is a Reform MP, so however far the Tories've fallen she's fallen further 😀

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Separately, I think how this was managed by each is a part of what made Dolly so incredible - her lightness, humour and ownership of that role, which was (understandably!) too much for others.

010

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Is it that the questions aren't interesting or you don't have an interesting answer? Or that all the interesting answers have been done?

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

In theory, yes. But going *to London* for water? London water is absolutely the worst I've ever drunk, and I'm including lake water polluted by sewage in that.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Interesting - I don't even remember him being creepy. That show generally stands out for managing to avoid all of the unpleasant stuff that's so common elsewhere.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I've been for drinks with James, so my tally is at 1.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Ah yes. Latin is apparently very helpful for providing the basis to learn French. That must have come in particularly handy for you.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

That might be the Canterville Ghost from 1996 - other versions of the story don't have the bleeding picture in apparently.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Similarly, within the UK, if you talk about experiencing racism, I don't think I should assume you're white. The world can't just be seen through the majority lens.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

If there's a 30% chance somebody has an identity other than the most common, I don't think it's fair to tell them they're wrong about the evidence they're using based on the easily-checked assumption they're in the 70%.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I like the 3 Bean Salad description of Avatar - it's amazing what they've done to make such a spectacular 2* film.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

That'll never explain matchups - France smashed everyone until they met a midfield, Spain looked plodding until they could control a team set up to only attack.

010

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

As in supporting what JH said, not calling him out.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

C'mon Joe Hart. Everyone there has *absolutely* tried their hardest. Nobody there didn't give everything they had to win today. That's always true of top level athletes - you just don't get to be top level athletes otherwise.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

@footballcliches.bsky.social 'Dreamland, the ball was' from Shearer about 55 mins just after the restart. Can a *ball* be Dreamland? And if so, do I pay an extra monthly fee?

In central defence and managing the library of course, a mon- 'OOOK!!!' - ape.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I yellow in your general direction!

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I think if you're only half watching the shitty bitty bits get lost in those magical Messi moments - but look closer and MacAllister and Simeone etc look a lot like the ugly swans feet doing all the ugly work.

110

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I recognise that Rice *wearing* 4 but *playing* 8, throwing Guehi and Anderson's squad numbers off probably makes this more confusing than it should be...

000

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

The pregame chat was all about Messi as their key man, the best player ever etc. And the key to countering Argentina being Bellingham and Kane. Surely the counter to a 10 is a good 6 - so Anderson.

100

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Ok, I'm really starting to see why @philippeauclair.bsky.social was so anti this Argentina team. It's such an aggro approach to the game.

110

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

That same moment 'they can fly now' was much more effective with the Dalek in Who - a single Dalek had just killed a whole squad of soldiers and they thought they were safe on the staircase.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I thought Gunn had said it was included, but it's not exactly clear skimming back now - the character is in the DCU, but the Universe itself hadn't started then. Which I guess proves the original point about the confusion 😀 gamerant.com/james-gunn-d...

James Gunn Clarifies What Counts As DCU Canon And Which DCEU Actors Are Staying

James Gunn addressed confusion about what films and characters are canon to the DCU, naming three DCEU actors who will stay on board.

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Yeah, but the relative importance could be revised - good focus on (some!) foreign affairs is broadly seen as a) good and b) a bit of a distraction from Important Things at home. I'm wondering if it could be more widely seen as a) good and b) important.

100

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

So, everything up to The Flash is a different run?

000

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I thought they did, from BB onward? (Not watched Supergirl yet, in case that confuses things)

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

No, but I wondered if it would change the way his Trump handling was viewed if the scale of the challenge was understood from a new perspective.

100

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

If Burnham falls out badly with Trump, and we feel some direct obvious impact ('I'm putting these extra tariffs on / pulling out of NATO etc because that Andy was too bolshy'), do you think Starmer could be revised upwards?

200

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

🎶 He did quite well at school 🎶

030

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

And we already *know* he loves his kids because of eg Isn't She Lovely. I guess maybe his son might have felt left out otherwise?

110

pixie359.bsky.social @pixie359.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

And with that formation change only Kane, Anderson and Pickford look like they will play all the way through in the same position.

Somewhere there's a Jawopractor shouting that Djed should still be protecting his chin.
