I think it's downright *excellent* even. 👩‍🍳👌

Jobs that nobody else takes for that matter. Yeah. There's going to be capital c, Consequences.

"I'm getting too old for this shit..."

Sigh. How about instead of "protecting" kids from the internet, why don't you protect kids from actual predators and traffickers... I'm sure there's a bunch of them on some list somewhere...

I forgot some of the stuff I put in at the beginning of this chapter.

A good tip for authors: read back what you wrote. You’ll thank me.

Yep. It's cruelty. Trans kids should be able to grow at the same time as their peers. A cis kid having a spot of hormone troubles would immediately get help; but when you're trans...

They go after our most vulnerable first. Straight-up evil.

Omg I'm hyped af.

(Wonder if Danny grew out her hair again 🤔)

Cruel bastards 😭 my heart bleeds for these kids.

Is that?... A chocolate version of a Twinkie? 😳😂

“You still gave me the look. I hate the look.” “The look?” “The one that says, ‘I’m looking for the man you used to be.’ Don’t worry. Everyone does it. People think, ‘Is that a male jawline? Would she have that nose if she were born a girl? That brow, that hairline…’” She shrugs. Continues staring almost unblinking at the road ahead, as if it might escape. “People start looking at you like they’re working their way down a checklist. Especially cis women. The same internalised misogyny that makes them think they’re never quite pretty enough starts working on us, looking for the ‘flaws’—” Gemma articulates an especially aggressive air-quote with the hand on the steering wheel, “—either because they feel inferior that a man can look better than them, or they feel superior that the poor, pathetic little tranny looks worse. We’re your funhouse mirrors: weird and fun and just a little scary to look at.” “Did I look at you like that?” “Maybe. Some of it. I don’t know. But everyone changes how they look at you when they find out. You get recontextualised. You become a little less real.”

Been reminded recently of this bit I wrote in Glow, Worm

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

I'd love to know Beth's reaction to The Boss's podcast buddy lmao

a man says nandor it 's not hygienic in front of a large clock Alt: Nandor: It's not Hygienic! From WWDITS tv series

It's also unhealthier. And even if you hit the bowl or water juuuusttt right—you still can't fully relax the sphincter and empty the bladder that way. 👩‍⚕️

And you are still getting some degree of aerosolised pee in the air. 🤢

I remember feeling so sad when this was done.

She updated I believe every 3 days? It was spectacular for keeping the hype going. When the story finished though; earlier than I expected, well, I was filled with sadness at not seeing the blorbos any more.

But it was actually brilliantly closed.

I have zero clue about what kind of urban hellscape it might be for cyclists/pedestrians in the cities; especially around LA. I only know the climate is similar to Portugal (Mediterranean) and there are a large amount of homeless people.

But when I think of SoCal...
I think of Cheerleaders. 💗📣👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

I am quite literally the most amateur of a creative writer one could be. Virgin lol

And yet the past few days of having people interact with something I created for fun, and a bit of healing have been giving me life.

Writing genuinely is fun.
Gr8 stuff 👌 I r8 8/8 ❤️‍🔥🫶

Genuinely, peak.
Highly recommend this one.

The lesson here is that the both of you are creatives that create art that genuinely speaks to people on a deep emotional level.

Maybe it's not as 'perfect' as it could be. But perfection is a chase to an event horizon. It's impossible.

But it is there. It's good. It's excellent even.

My 2ç ig 💗

Honestly, I've got the medium/regular size and since I've dropped about 30 kg (still somehow 25 bmi lol, but it's healthy now)

I can pretty easily do weird positions nowadays.

Pull my knees all the way up, tucked under my chin, or ✝️❌🍎sauce per yuz.

Oooohhh damn!! That is so close!
And I think I have that same blasted Ikea sit/stand still half in flatpack here. My lazy arse really should get on that lol.

Need to tear the wallpaper off as well and paint it some bright pastel.
(old icky dyspho-depresso, teen 'boy' wallpaper still remains)

Yup.

A single dirt-cheap investment relatively speaking for a company; at least compared to a salary.

Good ergonomic chair, super important tbh.

Yuppppp just wish I could buy it in all white and maybe mesh instead... 🤔

Right now, I've got my Aeron layered with 2 Ikea sheepskins; one under my arse, one on the back.
