Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I see your 'booking international travel on your phone' and raise you 'doing your self-assessment on your phone' (I did no freelance work last year, so it's quite a boring submission to be fair) 020
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Just Cried like CRIED listening to the different things people would do with their money on The Traitors. Partly because of the vulnerability of it, and partly because what a society we have where IVF is lottery proceeds type luxury. Bless Alexander too. 020

I think he’s a good-natured, beautiful young man, and as is often the way with good-natured beautiful young men, everyone he meets is nice to him and as a result he has a charming (but doomed) lack of cynicism. 6555

Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 10/01/2025January is just a reminder of how little people understand neurodiversity. Dan wasn't being treacherous: he just understood it was a game in a deeply literal sense! 000
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Sorry but as if you're going to put viscous shite in my hair on national TV 000
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 09/01/2025When did we as a nation decide to pronounce 'clique' as 'click' rather than 'kleak'? I'm too French-pilled for the former. Is it because of TV/the song? (I know that sounds so old of me but whatever) 010
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Have people on this site stopped talking about how they really relate to being the Clever one on the Traitors? Because they were happy to drop Alexander down from his cage and will probably end up deferring to him... No, race is a huge aspect of it and also: some of you are know-it-alls, NOT smart 000
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I hate gay Halloween. What do you mean you're dressed up as Linda swerving her head when Claudia says "Traitors, —" 000
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 09/01/2025And who counts as a moderate trans person for Sarah Ditum, then? The downside to these sites is I run into a world where this individual gets paid to write this stuff, and reminded it's served to people over their morning egg and soldiers. Profoundly bad for our intellectual & moral collective soul 030

Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 08/01/2025They definitely should've recruited Francesca as Traitor. Let Fozia cook for a bit as a Faithful. I like her 000
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 06/01/2025What was that Ariana outfit and eyebrows choice though. Between her and Taylor, I'm convinced that being an American popstar is to not be able to dress 000

Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 05/01/2025I'm on his side. Honestly this series reminds me how softly POC men in particular have to tread to be viewed as not too much (aggressive, calculating, haughty etc) in lots of British social and work contexts. I want to see a breakdown of how that English teacher grades his students by demographic! 000

Reposted by SalomeZoë Grünewald @zoegrunewald.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Most CSA occurs at the hands of family members and in the familial home. Yet many Tories continue to argue that sex ed in school be scaled back as parents know what's best for their children (despite evidence it keeps children safe). She should be called out for it. 1666
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Sorry but 'dark feminine' and also I forgot how much The Traitors serves as propaganda/a follow-on scheme for armed services personnel 000

Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 12/11/2024I am reminded of how I told someone close to me when we were struggling to make our friendship make sense that I basically needed him to have more 'Staten Island-coded' friends for me to yap and gesticulate at and interrupt as I fundamentally lack WASPy mystique and decorum 000

Most people aren’t politically engaged and don’t follow the news closely so these combinations can seem perfectly logical. I’d suggest those who find this so hard to comprehend are the ones who need to do the work if we’re going to beat Trumpism 211

Meanwhile the right-to-buy discount in London is reduced to £16k while in other, much cheaper parts of England it's as high as £38k. Woof.

Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 30/10/2024Why haven't more people come off X? Well, how many people on here have listened to, or heard of, The Receipts podcast, for instance? UK black twitter doesn't seem to have moved, and without it, I think my feed is far less funny, and far more Westminster-pedantic, than would suit me as a diversion 110
Salome @salomewagaine.bsky.social · 17/10/2024The solution is to bring back King Solomon because evidently the correct number of children a woman in public office should have is...half. "I love a child, but I couldn't have a whole one" 000
