Lily Allen | Fuck You

In the past, as a staffer, I've got this one wrong and not challenged when I should. Some people who read this forum know when and what that is. I've hopefully learnt from that and am more assertive these days!

As a player, I think I have an advantage over male players, because checking in with other women is normal and the radar for creeps is possibly stronger from practice irl. "I know it might be fun, but I just wanted to check-in - is he making you uncomfortable?" Even if he isn't and it is all ok, it is usually a welcome thing

I would ask these days...

Paramore - All I Wanted

@Pandora said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

I lost my job recently, redundancy is a bitch but it happens. Other than that, everything else is fine except for this weighted-blanket of depression I have no excuse for because everything is fine.

Depression isn't about reason or whether it is all OK. It just is. Hope you feel better soon

@Arkandel said in Good TV:

I will watch The Mandalorian to the end of time if they keep this up. The companion alone is well worth watching it for.

Not available in the UK.

@Auspice said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

this is all horrifying and I never want contacts

I gave them up after the bedpan incident. Not least because I wasn't going in after it, and I couldn't afford a new pair.

My step-dad died earlier in the year, and it has been a pretty shitty one when it comes to family stuff. But yesterday my mother gave me his desk. My daughter and I smothered it in oil today and cleaned it, and made the drawers move...

I am sorry for your loss, but I will say that is an utterly gorgeous desk. I have a deep love for secretary desks.

Isn't it beautiful? It won't work for my original plan (sewing machine neatly folded away) but it will store it on the top, and put all manner of stuff inside. I need to fix the original handles on one drawer, and the hinges, and I might need to get some sort of wax to help things slide more gently (I don't want to sand anything). Otherwise...

@Otrere The Searchers - Sweets For My Sweet

@Wretched not at all... I lost them regularly. (once into a bedpan, before they were disposible...)

@surreality

Here's hoping the ugly fuckin' duckling turns out to be a swan

Swanness is not just skin deep

ETA: and thank all of you for being as supportive and wonderful as you are. It means so much to know people are just... okay with this sort of thing.

I don't see people being okay with it. I see people celebrating your freedom
