Benefits of alcohol: - karaoke confidence - making weddings tolerable - surviving office holiday parties - tolerating airport delays
Alcohol has no single benefit. Zero. Not one.

So, "Covid Day of Reflection" is apparently a thing. Remember the masks. Remember how, if you were sitting at a table in a restaurant, you didn’t need one—but if you stood up to go to the toilet, you did? Remember when they locked elderly people in care homes and said their families couldn’t visit them? Remember how authoritarian some people got? Remember how it ripped families and friendships apart? Remember when they made women give birth, go through miscarriages, and experience stillbirths alone? Remember when they closed the parks and locked up children's play equipment? Remember the BLM protests being allowed to happen? Remember when they closed schools and canceled exams? Remember the "bubbles"? Remember when we were only allowed outside to exercise for one hour a day? Remember clapping for the NHS? Remember the dancing nurses? Remember when they banned Christmas? Remember when they said weddings could only have two guests—and the same for funerals? Remember not being allowed to question anything without being called a "conspiracy theorist," "covidiot," "far-right," "vaccine denier," "granny killer," etc.? Remember the Queen sitting alone at her husband’s funeral? Remember when they said we had to stand six feet apart and even put stickers on the floor to remind us? Remember when the vaccine came along, and "my body, my choice" got thrown out the window? Remember when a whole bunch of people went on furlough, but the ones who kept the country running—the shop workers, delivery drivers, bin collectors, etc.—didn’t? And we all got to see that? Remember getting chased around Central London by riot police just for exercising your freedoms? Maybe that one’s personal. Anyway, I could go on. And please, add your own if you want. That whole period seems so long ago, yet it also feels like yesterday. I know some people aren’t ready for this conversation, and some will completely disagree with me. But you can’t deny that it had a huge effect on us—both socially and individually. At some point, we need to have that conversation. And please, please, please—I am not, and have never been, saying that Covid wasn’t real. Obviously, it was real. People did die. People did get sick. I got sick. What I am saying—and what I’ve always said—is that lockdown and all the other stuff that came with it was absolutely unnecessary bullshit. And it did more harm than good.

A free dialogue plan for anyone working with boys / young men who might be discussing the #GrammyAwards #KanyeWest #BiancaCensori thing Hope it's of use. The resource maps against the Foundations: 12 Dialogues work (specifically 'Respect', 'Control' and 'Someone not Something')

Afghan women are as deserving of respect, autonomy and dignity as every other woman in the world. The lack of meaningful reprisals for the flagrant human rights abuses visited upon Afghan women by the Taliban shames the international community.

Still waiting for Mick Carter to come back and save Linda from herself - they never found his body! Or is @MrDDyer still sunning himself in the Caribbean? #EastEnders

Hard agree
Eastenders at Christmas is like crack to me. The smashing up of a house, the affairs being revealed, a murder, the snow. It is pure cinema. Eastenders IS Great Britain, you take it away from us and what have we got? Nothing #Eastenders

All 51 men have been convicted of raping Gisele Pelicot She heroically fought for this while her husband & each of these rapists felt sorry for themselves We deal with the symptoms but ignore the sexism & misogyny that causes it Today is Gisele’s day

what the fuck
I've never liked The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I didn't even finish the book. The caterpillar is just a fat knob who just eats holes in everything. Doesn't even finish them. There are people starving in the world and he chooses violence against food

Today is World Wombat Day so I must again say that my favourite ever blessing is an Indigenous Australian one and it goes "may the wombat of happiness snuffle through your underbrush"

I would genuinely read a 5,000 word essay on what happened to Euston station, who made the decision to actively make it more unsafe and impossible to navigate, for no actual benefit (except possibly as a psy-op to encourage the use of other stations)

I want everyone to remember that this case is only happening because her husband was caught up-skirting other women. If that crime hadn't been taken seriously she would still be getting drugged & raped. Up-skirting Voyeurism Flashing All these crimes must be takes seriously because when men commit one they often commit more and worse.
In discovering she recognised one of the men who raped her as a neighbour she knew: “Gisèle was then reminded by the judge that in order to respect the presumption of innocence, it had been agreed in court not to use the word rape but “sex scene”” 🤬 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9d…

The least we can do is lift this woman up and amplify her voice. She is unbowed, unbroken and very, very courageous.
‘Gisèle found that she was carrying four sexually-transmitted diseases. “I have had no sympathy from any of the accused. One who was HIV-positive came six times. Not once did my husband express any concern about my health…”’ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9d…

I swear, if this gets scrapped, I’m going to flip a fucking table. Why does every government seem to despise single people? We already pay more council tax than someone who is cohabiting, just let us fucking breathe

I live alone. I create half as much rubbish, I only put a single strain on public services (library use, etc.) Why should I pay the same as a couple?Honestly the discount should be more than 25%, not less!

53 minutes and 106 times later: "I'm sorry, we are experiencing a very high volume of calls right now" No. You are experiencing a very low volume of customer service employees, you profit-hungry, corner-cutting cunts.
