I'm only here to post stories that directly counter the otherwise divisive narratives spreading on this app. I've never wanted to join a Morris group more. #folkagainstracism #quwerasfolk #morrisdancing

@kimmoorepoet @ShareClaw Just spotted this in the Winchester Poetry email and signed up. I've got work or toddler commitments most mornings but used a 'pay-what-you-can' as I don't know how many I can attend. I hope that's ok!

@ATRightMovies I scrolled for so long for just one gay love story. Here's one love at first sight/slow burn.

A complex food system requires complex collaborative action. Craig Blundred @HpoolCouncil Director of Public Health gives overview of #GoodFoodLocalNE programme addressing key challenges facing North East communities through healthy and sustainable food. #systemsnerds

@Caltermole I've found that being a real human being and treating others, even those I haven't met in real life yet as I would friends, is just, not even a tactic, it's a nice way to be in life and people are nice back at you.

@ClayHarted Some people just don't want to live. I'm sorry she's so hurt she's taking it out on people, plants and joy.

do white people not understand that spices are just ingredients that when combined with other ingredients, create what we call food, and not some secret thing that is separate from food.

@imlorijay @JessPected Ughhhhhhh had to wade into 4 month old comments with that one...
English
@JessPected this is from earlier this year, finding out exactly how big the age gap was…
also this guy is commenting dave must’ve been *so* good in bed in order to inspire such songs.
further illustrates how these guys somehow make it out clean (as sexual heroes even!) from this kinda shit

@AllieTheEditor @rhodeislander @JFrankensteiner @TheUnhelpfulNPC woof, tbh even worse than i imagined… she was a brand new adult & he had been an adult for 15 years already. in no other aspect of life would people look at someone w/ 0 years experience vs. someone w/ 15 years experience & consider them evenly or fairly matched in any way…
English
Seeing this picture drives home just how young she was, how old & creepy he was. But instead of any societal reflection on the harm men do to girls, her pain is a cultural punchline. Men damage girls & it's the girls who are belittled for the fallout. 🧵
English
@rhodeislander @imlorijay @AllieTheEditor @JFrankensteiner @TheUnhelpfulNPC Lemme be a ghost of 90s past for you since it doesn't sound to me like you were an actual girl in the 90s - women didn't talk (to you) about the shit they went through but the trauma and damage to self worth and relationships were very real. If I had a dollar for every Dave.
English
@imlorijay @AllieTheEditor @JFrankensteiner @TheUnhelpfulNPC Nobody cared back then. Gen X had no moral panic over shit like that because we literally didn't care. Teenagers were very much in the habit of fucking whoever they wanted who said yes, regardless of any Dreaded Age Gap. Nobody gave a shit.
She didn't write it "because age gap".

@shazzala @JessPected I mean... The royal institution is its own level of creepy? It's a "how to no longer human" for the ages.

@Peritas68 @IFR65 @mrjamesob I'm just excited about all the Schrödinger's cat online searches spurred by this comment.

@IFR65 @mrjamesob I wonder how many, or should that be how few, people have the faintest clue what you're talking about.

The other thing I need to tell you is that I'm the opening act for @drbramwell's legendary Cult of Water, the performance/book that introduced me to the concept of being nerdy/mystical about waterways. Yes there will be PowerPoint. 5th Sept Brighton. Tix: ticketsource.co.uk/dr-bramwell/t-…

This thread is epic and deserves an unroll, but also a public service announcement that this nerdy wild magic happens in Brighton/Lewes/Shoreham EVERY MONTH courtesy of @drbramwell's #CatalystClub. @kindofsquishy if you ever come to the UK...

For my birthday I asked everybody to come prepared with a PowerPoint presentation about any topic they wanted and BY GOD THEY FUCKING DELIVERED. These are just some highlights 🧵 (Pic of mine for tax)

@GoldingBF Will you remove your dangerously incorrect post? Have you seen the violence and suffering these false claims cause? Hundreds of people nearly died in the UK recently due to similar unfounded claims.

The mother died at the hands of the Islamist terrorist in Sydney.
The baby is fighting for her life.
How many more must die before we admit that we have a huge problem with Islamist extremists?

@Green4lyf @JenClarkWrites @hellotorifletch Look, I'm not out to pick a fight here, not on a subject so personal and value-driven. Imo 'failure' says it's a quest like a game or homework, when relationships anything but. They're complex and change as people change, and even giving your loving best is sometimes not enough.
English
@Verushka @JenClarkWrites @hellotorifletch Ok. But what was the reason for the union in the first place? Regardless, it failed because it doesnt exist no more.
English
12 years ago I married this dude on the Brooklyn Bridge, in the rain, in the middle of December. Today he moved out. I just wanted the chance to post the picture one more time.
English
@Green4lyf @JenClarkWrites @hellotorifletch Not all marriages have that in their vows. That is a fairly specific western Christian interpretation. That's what I'm saying, it can still be a marriage officiated and legally recognised even if 'til death' isn't part of it. Til death is hard for many humans to achieve.
English
@Verushka @JenClarkWrites @hellotorifletch Imo i think it's just basic facts. If you say "i want to spend the rest of my life with you" or "till death do us part" it means it is forever. For that forever to be a SUCCESS,there should be no divorce. If there is divorce, it means it was a FAILURE. Simple English!!!
