I usually only pay for a tiny amount, because I don't go out all that often. Does mean I run out every now and then though. I guess at least there's upsides to not buying drinks.

CW: Child abuse

I'm not at all minimizing the physical aspect, that is the biggest part of a lot of people's trauma. But it's not a requirement when it comes to whether or not a parent was abusive.

CW: Child abuse

The times he minimized my feelings, the times he made me feel like I was never doing enough to "reach my potential", the times he threw hissy fits any time I didn't agree with him. Yes, the physical abuse is a significant factor in my trauma, but it's not the main one.

CW: Child abuse

When I think of what my father did to me, whether intentionally, or through a flash back, the physical abuse is rarely the main thing on my mind, if at all. What fucked me up the most is the emotional, and mental abuse he put me through.

Pennywize had a stall at zinefest, and the general reaction seemed to be a mix of amusement, and confusion lol. He actually does have some pretty decent politics though.

I ranked Baker and Pennywize at 1 and 2 respectively, but I honestly couldn't bring myself to rank Little.

That's so fucked. Would you be cool with telling me who the service is? Could do via DM if you don't wanna do a public call out, I just wanna be able to warn people away, or if it's the host I use, move.

Fingers crossed you manage to sort it, the support sounds absolutely useless.

Reminds me of a Bob Vylan lyric: "Loves a chicken korma but hates the hands that cook it".

Jesus was a tradie in a poor area. The gospels almost definitely portray him using way softer language than he actually would've.

Yeah, it sounds like the church I used to go to when I was a teenager. Being an evangelical is so, so boring.

WWII was entirely about fighting over territory. The governments of the Allied nations didn't give two shits about the genocides (yes, two, Japan was committing atrocities in China that were every bit as bad as the holocaust), they just wanted to hold onto power.

Bradley Walsh is half the reason the original is so good, the dude is dripping in charisma.

Under the Blade (the song in question) is about the guitarist's fear of the throat surgery he needed.
