I do remember vividly that they had us all padded up on the legs, helmets and breastplates, it was a glaring omission to have not bothered with the gloves and in hindsight there was almost definitely a full health and safety process initiated. But also, it barely hurt and imo it is a moral imperative to shirk PE wherever possible.
My favourite sport to play is cricket because when we did it at school the teacher didn't make us wear gloves and while I was batting a girl threw badly and it slightly brushed my finger and I went down like a premier league footballer on a tiny contact then I didn't have to do PE for the rest of the year in case my parents sued.
"Neurodivergent childhood is when all your teachers thought you were a little shit" "Neurodivergent childhood is when all your teachers thought you were a joy to have in the classroom" The secret third thing: you were intensely polarising among the teachers you had.
At some point in the next 5-10 days (I asked about follow-up), I am 100% getting a call from the dermatology department going "hey, you know your dodgy mole? We should take that off". I KNOW!!!!! JUST TAKE THE DAMN MOLE!!!!!
Huge love for the NHS but they've developed a very neat little swindle where I know I have a dodgy mole that needs to come off, my GP knows this dodgy mole needs to come off, it's a textbook dodgy mole for the urgent referral pathway. And I did indeed get a hospital appointment within two weeks... for someone who is not a dermatologist to take a photo of said dodgy mole.
(I'm fine btw, no need to worry, just want this mole gone)
Have received a message saying I have "atypical naevus" (medicalese for "dodgy mole") and they now need to look at it in person and... I FUCKING KNOW WE ALL FUCKING KNOW WHY DID YOU WASTE A PHOTOGRAPHER'S TIME
One of my unfavourite things of working at @vagina_museum is sometimes stumbling on bizarre far-right conspiracy theories surrounding the museum. Here's one which is just a little bit funny, brought to you by that chud who had to eat a book because he was so wrong...
