I have a phobia of needles. I have been given medication to inject to prevent blood clots while my leg is in a cast. I HAVE TO STICK A NEEDLE IN MY STOMACH EVERY NIGHT. There are no words :(

WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THAT BOOK.

Can we stop with the imaginary boyfriends thing? It was funny once or twice, but really it's sort of reducing these men down to their subjective attractiveness. Think about it. Why is he our imaginary boyfriend? 'Cause someone decided he was hot and really super nice. Can we let him exist outside of his hotness and…

You see, I wish that'd been my approach. I LOVED that cat. She never forgot.

I did that! I loved our cat so much I pained her with blue nail varnish (so she'd feel pretty). After two hours my mum got it all off her fur. Dusty never forgave me :(

Or cake. Or the way wallpaper tastes. Or how squishy their eyeballs are. Or the contents of their nostrils. You know, toddler stuff. Mostly nasty.

Mostly unrelated, but I started obstinately referring to virginity as "ability to ride a unicorn" last year and thus losing your virginity as losing your ability to ride a unicorn. It really helps with sex-obsessed boys!

That's what you get for having a cat instead of a dog. Cats have taste. Expensive taste.

That was exactly what I thought, AND I REALLY HOPE SO.

We have the right not to give our name or address during stop and search... after a while on Google, that seems to be basically all we have.

Yeah, I did read your whole comment, I was just trying to make sure I hadn't misunderstood your first point. But yes you're right, however nice it might be to "make" victims come forward, it's a pretty awful idea.

Oh, no, I didn't mean it was EASY. But you're being pretty victim-blaming here. It's certainly true that some victims behave in ways that damage their relationships, but that's PART of the abusive relationship pattern. It's written down in every book you could possibly read. No one goes out to alienate their friends…

Oh, and "I can't understand people that would allow this" is again problematic - unless I've misunderstood again. When I was abused I spent years after wondering why no one helped me. The signs were there. I don't understand why OTHER people allow it. The victim, however, is caught in a pattern of fear and relief and…

If you mean a fine to the victim, then definitely not. People need to feel safe to come forward in their own time, not bullied into it.

Actually, after reading the comments (duh!) I'm gonna say that the black and white probably was just to be classy. My comment about needing more women of colour remains.

The black and white thing stood out more to me - but again, maybe it was just a coincidence and they were trying to be classy. Either way, they need more women of colour on their front covers. End of.

I watched it with my housemate, his girlfriend, and her best mate, and we were all there hiding behind pillows! Sherlock is love.

I... loved it. Did we watch something different?

Mine would just read "tea makes me happy." Just that on a white background.

You'd be the target audience for this sort of thing then. Grats!
