Why is it called #GameofWool? Is it a pun on something?

But instead to allow students to make sure they are in a good space to confront the material. In that sense, I've always seen them as an access tool for people affected by violence, especially sexual violence.

I don't think the purpose of a content warning is to make people not read it, but to allow people who may be affected to make an informed decision about when and whether to view the story. I've used them in teaching contexts (with adults) and my approach has not been "it's OK to skip this text"...

Like, I've no concept of a yacht, it's far beyond my imagining. But being able to afford one Fancy holiday a year instead of a couple of long weekends in the UK? Green with envy

I think about this a lot, but usually in relation to myself! I was at university for 10 years and many of my peers earn much more than I ever will, even if I remain in my chosen career for a decade.
I think it's fairly human to envy things that seem *just* out of reach.

Oh I LOVED this when I saw it last year. Really tremendous acting from the whole cast, both main and supporting actors. I really believed in the character arcs, too, which is hard to do over a short series trying to cover someone's whole life

Do we *know* there's a lightning fast deterioration? I know we're all hoping for one, but the bruises have been spotted over a few weeks and I think the rest is wishful thinking

Whoever needs reminding: the Convention on Human Rights is one of the greatest achievements of European civilisation, following one of its greatest tragedies. For us to leave it would not only undermine all our own rights and freedoms, it would be a completely immoral abdication of responsibility.

A tabby and white cat photographed from above, sitting on my knee. She has curled into a ball and so looks like a little egg shape. One ear rests against my wrist

This ends when she poops or Tuesday night, by which time it will be 48 hours since she last might have gone

I am on Pet Poop Watch as my perfect cat has maybe eaten something ill-advised

This was my fault for leaving a plastic bag of treats where she could reach it

She hates pooping inside (though she has two clean and good litter trays!) so it will be a battle of wills

I remember reading on like, tumblr, that Tulio and Miguel in Road to El-Dorado were intended to be lovers but it got nixed. I don't know if that's true or just wishful thinking though

A cat wearing a toga and crown while sitting on a mosaic. We think this might be AI generated (we don't know as it's from our maketing team) so we look forward to lots of replies telling us that we're evil.

Barbie in the Barbie movie is aroace and Ken is an extremely romantic ace. It's why he wants to stay over (even if he's not sure why) and why she's BAFFLED by that

This is correct but ALSO Emma is aroace and it's why she's so baffled that Harriet can't just move on from Mr Elton

Ok yes I'm an old lady
But does anyone know why my steam controller input keeps fucking about in Oblivion GOTY?

I've changed NOTHING about my set up but the button maps get scrambled every so often??
It's unbelievably frustrating

Thanks, but I only do non-fiction audio books. I somehow can't get into fiction when it's spoken word, no matter how good the book or narrator

Please do post when the book sales will finally benefit you- i heard about The Scottish Boy during the Unbound fiasco and I'm very keen to read it... when my purchase money will support the author!

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

Recreating a 2,000-year-old cosmetic : Nature News Nature - the world's best science and medicine on your desktop

I worked in this lab (though not at the same time as this awesome project) and they also made a replica of the cream: www.nature.com/news/2004/04...

Apparently it was like a white-tinted moisturiser

The whole time, she asked for help and advice around supplements and what she ought to be prioritising for baby's development and innumerable health professionals told her not to be so tiresome.

And when you ask for help with nutrition, you often get shrugged off! A close friend had very severe HG and her toddler now has such severe enamel hypoplasia (caused by not enough calcium etc when they were a fetus) that at least six of baby's teeth will have to be removed - at 18 mo.

Sex Matters once sent me a copy of Helen Joyce's book on the assumption I would be sympathetic. Reading it started me down the path of opposing Joyce, Sex Matters and "gender critical feminism" in general. So it certainly made an impact.
