Cynical optimist. I'm just here to post shower-thoughts, weird facts I've just learned (but have nobody specific to share them with), and other irreverent bullcrap. 🇦🇺 Nature lover and tree-hugger proudly hailing from Melbourne, Australia.
Also, you want a halfway decent-looking serif font? There are PLENTY of others that aren't the literary equivalent of an amateur graphic designer using Adobe Myriad in their folio because that's the fucking default font of Illustrator that they chose because their taste in typography fucking SUCKS.

Well I won't be paying for a ticket (because that would require visiting the US, and I don't wanna get shot the second I step off the aeropane), but I will be watching it online (or on TV, if the streaming service carks it like it did during the 2022 match betwen ARG vs NLD…)

… I had to google what a "macrame" is. New word added to my vocabulary!
I would've likened it to more of a bush, really. One of those amorphous shrubs that grows in all directions.

That family tree would be complicated by all the, uh, cross-species fucking that almost certainly took place over the course of history.
If there's one thing primates are known for, it's bumping uglies.

S/O to Albo for the definitely infallible online shield that's absolutely guaranteed to protect millions of kids from online harm, and not at all setting a precedent for future legislation that enables the government to control what we can access online without VPNs (provided VPNs aren't outlawed) 😫

… instead, I got the Halle from John Wick 3 (who kicked SERIOUS arse in that film, BTW) and after seeing a picture of her in the Google results I thought "Damn, I hope I age as gracefully as she has" and decided to share that thought with the world.

Well then, it might also amuse you to know the reason I googled Halle Berry's name in the first place: I sometimes get her confused with Halle *Bailey* and wanted to see if another bunch of anti-woke crybabies were throwing another tantrum over her casting in a new Disney film so I could laugh.

Of course, then you get the inevitable trolls who reply to a complaint about menopause with some misogynistic tripe like "ever had a boner whilst wearing jeans?" to provoke a reaction… 🤷♂️

Some of those comments might be well-intentioned (albeit ignorant) attempts from men who want to "cheer up" a woman complaining of (or visibly showing) the pains foisted upon her by biology. Such remarks sound insensitive or even chauvinistic, because… well, we've never had to deal with that before.

And no, I'm unaffiliated with the Clearsky app. I just check it regularly to know when I'm putting the foot in my mouth, since having an ASD makes it harder for me to "read the room", so to speak.

No no, the timestamp of when I was added to that list coincides with my original post, which isn't normally the type of thing I'd post had "The Substance" not drilled into my head the depressing reality of how celebrities feel coping with middle-age and a receding media spotlight.

Apology accepted. :) Thanks for not immediately blocking and adding me to a list of ostensible misogynists like somebody else did (clearsky.app/alhadis/lists).
That's… now three lists I'm where I don't belong, because somebody misinterpreted a post of mine that could've been worded a lot better…

Would you be as quick to harass me if instead I'd commented on how Laura Loomer somehow looks older than my fucking grandmother at the ripe old age of only 32?
Something tells me you wouldn't.

So, no, I don't think Halle would take offence to hearing a candid, blunt complement she probably hears or reads all the time online, because she HAS aged gracefully, and is lucky to do so. Aging sucks, for both women AND men.

Halle Berry was referring to the standards of women's healthcare in the US—especially as it relates to the difficulties experienced by middle-aged women experiencing menopause. Her points about aging and "pressured into looking young" were remarks on the nature of being in the spotlight (Hollywood).

Unless Halle Berry herself decides to review this thread and voice her opinion herself, you don't get to speak on her behalf.

What the fuck is wrong with you? No, you're right, I didn't watch her speech, I only googled her name after seeing it in Bluesky's "trending" tab, and decided to express what I was thinking at the time "Wow, she looks great for her age".
That offend you, does it? If so, that's not my problem.
