I left the biggest voluntary donation ever at Bristol Cathedral a) because it was voluntary and b) they had the most gorgeous welcome message by the door. I loved my visit there and their whole approach to their slavery connections was just perfect

Among other things, why is ‘black people’ in quotes? Does Dominic Cummings not believe they’re real? These bigots are just so weird

Do men ever defend others from physical attack? Sure! But who’s doing the attacking?

The idea that women are safer, and men are more virtuous, if women stay out of certain places (work, public life) - surely this undermines the “men naturally protect women” claim.

e.g. the popular fantasy of men as defenders from physical attack

“men also view their bodies as something they extend over someone else who needs them […] placing themselves between an outside threat and their family or their country”

Quick question: in this scenario, what sex is the attacker?

My entry in this category:

Gus ate or was stung by a wasp right after we got him and we didn’t know if he was allergic.

Emergency vet: “yes, he’s clearly been stung in the face; the terrible swelling means he’s having a strong allergic reaction”

Me: “…um, that’s his normal face”

Vet: “WOW.”

I used to know a horse who would lose his shit so badly every autumn when the time change delayed his dinner that he had to be given a mild sedative
