I woke up this morning, saw the news about Iran's attacks, and went straight down a rabbit hole of looking up how to try and survive nuclear fallout. Short story is I'm probably fucked. But I'm legit getting a bad feeling about where we are heading.

I see Orion as a jaunty little disco dancer in this. Arms up in the air, legs apart, hip stick out to one side.

I'm thinking that in Hull they surely say "scurn", so maybe they say "curn" for cone?

I wasted time and energy arguing with some absolute whopper about composting. He suddenly went off on a tangent about the waste caused by sanitary products , presumably because I'm a woman, and that's when I realised trying to make him squirm with descriptions of menstrual cups would be an absolute waste of energy and I should just stop and leave him to his nonsense rants. Deleted the app not long after, I think that and reading a load of racist bullshit about Roma people did it for me. I found a good man with van on there, but that's the only use it's had for me.

I encountered the magic roundabout 25 years ago, just as a passenger, and I'm still mentally scarred.

Dorothy Parker would have drunk tweeted from dinner parties savagely taking down all the other guests.

I don't know the origins of that term, but maybe 'unconditional empathy' would be a better way of thinking about it? Like, I will empathise with you even if you aren't prepared to do the same, - and won't be withdrawn if you don't treat me with empathy.

I think people are missing that this is the 2nd most taught foreign language, not the 2nd most taught language. So there's the native language, then the most taught foreign language, and then the 2nd most taught foreign language. I'd imagine for quite a few countries that English is the most taught foreign language, particularly ones that heavily rely on tourism.

Edit: just noticed it even says that in the text on the right.

Yeah thanks but no thanks. Even if they're wearing masks that feels creepy and invasive.

Our voting system sucks, the media on the whole leans towards the right wing, and in general the population isn't very politically informed / literate and is easily swayed by fearmongering and misinformation. Plus the good old fashioned selfishness of the people who are well off or comfortable.

I'm sorry, "knew of the mummies but mistook them for large dolls"???
