The rage caused by touching your face at this time of night and remembering you put makeup on today that now needs to be removed, is very strong

I had the real pleasure of having lunch with Miriam Margolyes today, and as we left the restaurant, an old man started playing Hava Nagila loudly on his phone and calling Miriam a “self hating Jew!” - presumably for her stance on Palestine. It was upsetting but she brushed it off, undeterred

Ian Watkins’ ex girlfriend reports him multiple times to the police for what he was doing and they treated her as if she was hysterical in every sense of the word. Misogyny is dangerously and deadly, it played a huge role in those poor children’s torment. Hope he went roaring

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Lidocaine patches and being reared with the morbid fear of being perceived as looking for attention. A mighty concoction

About 80% of Pinterest is now AI. What a waste of time, I can’t buy or make (mine is crafts mainly) any of that?!

MM refusing to do anything on climate shows that he puts disproportionate weight on the opinions of lobbyists for data centers, car manufacturers, dairy, etc cause support for government action on climate change actually unites people across the country..so who is he talking about?

Five years since I powered through shingles all over half my abdomen on my wedding day. I honestly feel like putting it on my CV that I never mentioned it the whole day because I wanted to be a good host

No no, you don’t understand- I was talking about all women giving oral sex while competing for anything , not just the presidential candidates! Glad it clear that up, all is well now ❤️

That was not the act of a child, it’s an insult to call it childish - it was triple distilled misogynistic behaviour.
