Seriously, fuck them all. They did it to the parents too. Every time some stupid moron says, “Why don’t victims speak up sooner?” I point them at this case. Scores of young girls, telling their parents, telling other adults, and nobody believing them because he groomed everyone else too.

Aly Raisman continues to bowl me over with her articulate and determined courage. I watched her testimony and hung on every word. Aside from her achievements in gymnastics, she is one capable and accomplished woman, and I hope she considers the impact she could have were she to seek a position of influence.

In addition, whoever it was at the council that ignored the communications from the residents’ group about how concerned they were for their safety has questions to answer.

Seems like every six months, Stormzy calls out Theresa May on Grenfell, and nothing happens. The heat produced by that fire was twice the required level used at crematoria. Those people were incinerated and I can’t believe we’re not in the midst of front-page criminal proceedings. It’s like it just didn’t happen.

Someone should tell Meghan Trainor that Sofia sassed the mayor’s wife.

Oh, I’m fine if people who have no idea what the reality of the job actually is want to share their ill-informed views with each other. They’re welcome to show off their ignorance till the cows come home.

Don’t accept the guilt, don’t be shamed. Love what you love because you love it.

I know. I don’t believe in guilty pleasures anyway, but really. That video makes me long for a life I haven’t lived.

Dude, it’s really about context, and part of that is solicitation. So a woman asking you for help that you are qualified to give because it’s your job and she is a customer means that what comes next is you responding to her request. The transaction is agreed and should be reflected by the language and tone both…

OMG I LOVE THAT DAMN SONG.

It doesn’t mean they can’t love each other, but you are their primary target. Anyone else is just another obstacle in the way. Especially your wife - yikes!

Maybe just don’t get married anyway? Seriously, without meaning to sound bitter and jaded, I don’t really understand the point of it. We all know the chances of it lasting are low, we all hope for the best, but really. What was the point? I’ll never do it again, and can’t see myself bothering with a relationship again…

Stormzy needs his own article here so everyone can read all about him. He is an incredible performer, and has used his platform to advocate for young people with depression. When black men are most likely to enter mental health care in the UK via the police or courts, rather than through the health service, and are…

What. The. Fanny. Is this.

Oh, I quite like her voice. Not as much as her eyes and nose, but it’s a good voice.

I would say that about all ALW musicals, though. In fact, all musicals ever. Apart from Grease..

You don’t know that you’ve never stopped traffic. Maybe you just haven’t always been told. X

Don’t regret it. Humans think doggies need buddies; doggies see the new dog as competition for your attention. She’ll be much happier having you to herself.

Probably soon-to-be single woman here, and my biggest worry now about taking the final plunge is that I won’t see my dog as much. He is my life. But he’s also my husband’s life, and I wouldn’t want either of us to go without him. We’ll have to find a way to share him when it comes to it.

Do it. Start saving.
