OTOH what do you think when someone on here follows you with an avatar like that? Those who just follow women of a certain age

I've found a cobbler in the next town. I can go there to shop on Saturday & see if they can fix them. I could buy new ones but they're £99. Completely worth it but the old ones are fine apart from that

But a full year difference for being 3 months younger! Not getting my bus pass was annoying, though after a while in greater Manchester they gave us special ones to bridge the gap

The search is certainly pretty useless

Actually the credit card I use is disappearing shortly, hence all my shennanegans with obtaining a new one (almost but not quite there btw) so I don't think giving them it would be much of an issue anyway

I start getting arsey at the point when they claim ownership of women &^ children. And isn't it the oppressive attitudes of "them" towards women that they use as an excuse to claim they have no place in "western society"
It's just a male turf war really isn't it?

So. I can see DMs on my old phone but not on the new one or the web
I'm very confused

Especially since so many school regimes just now seem to be designed to make life there as unpleasant as possible.
I understand the need to deal with bullying & aggressive children but the blanket imposition of pointless & sometimes bizarre rules makes life even harder for normal, well-behaved kids

Not looking promising tbh

I'm trying. Not always easy though

One of the things that bothers me about the acceptance of people like Trump & Johnson as leaders and the comparative criticism of Starmer (and no, I'm not happy with him) is that we are normalising extremely unregulated & destructive behaviour. Yet we expect much more of tiny children

This is a genuinely intolerable reality…

And I've just realised I never took anything for the headache I woke up with
