@fesshole My ex used to mix grape jam with his scrambled eggs and I was supposed to be okay with that.

Ooh the house of bottles is for sale!

Just as an aside, in my 46 years of using public toilets I have never seen anyone else's genitals.
You'd have to really put the effort in to see someone else's bits. You'd have to be peering under the door or over the top of the stall or through the door gap. You'd have to TRY.
Which is how I know all the people who are convinced they'll see a penis in the women's toilets are gross little freaks.

@glittercleric They're avoiding the difficult conversation that we need to have - the threat is *men*.
It's so much easier to say "Oh no trans people" than it is to say "Oh shit, cis men". Cis men is a massive problem, harder to tackle. Sooo...

Edit: I was too shorthanded with this, I do not mean to imply all or even most men, what I meant was the people who are likely to be assaulting women in bathrooms are cis men.

@skinnylatte Hi, I represent A Genuine Veterinary Clinic and I wanted to let you know we have diagnosed Mila with Ankle Touch Deficiency and therefore recommend a course of daily Ankle Touching for up to, or more than, 20 hours a day.

So yes, Mila does indeed need to be right there. For health reasons.

@wouldinotcallmyselfahumanbeing The vibe check might be the key to be honest. I've had a few wander up to me over the years.

Of course, it's possible I just smell like ants.

The thing about echidnas is they have pretty bad eyesight, so if you stay still they don't know you're there.

Friend just sent me this and yes yes I did immediately go and find the chart.

Have commenced sewing the lush fabric my friend dropped off. This stuff here is a tricky sew, but worth it, look how delish!

FoodBank is under a lot of pressure at this time of year, with the cost of living being frankly nonsense and more and more people seeking their support. So here's my Virtual Christmas table. You can sit with me, but it's going to cost you $10.

"Electric cars have no soul"

Mate, sit down, I have some terrible news about ALL cars...

Aww, FB memories just showed me this lino print I did 9 years ago. It's the last one I ever did. Mum was an artist and had a pretty strong view of how lino cuts SHOULD be done, which is not like this. 🤣

BFF bought me this, because it reminded him of how I talk to Bella. He is correct, and it makes me smile, and also that is how my hair looks when I can't find my hairbrush (ie, today)

Help me, I'm finding this far too funny.

"Don’t make the same mistake I did for years, which was just sitting back and being like: ‘Well I’m not part of the problem, therefore I must be part of the solution.’ Cause that’s just not how fucking shit works. I believe and deep down I know that most men are good. Of course we are. But when one in ten men are shit and the other nine do nothing, they might as well not fucking be there."

@HauntedOwlbear @anon_opin OP meant "3D" - you can ask Facebook to generate a 3D image from your photo that sort of moves when you scroll and it's weird and off putting.

FB just suggested a post from a page posting "Virtual beauties". They state clearly that every picture is AI.

The "Virtual beauty" has hundreds of comments from men hitting on her. I wish I was surprised.
