Now, of course, there are many ways to be a feminist. I choose the one which ensures I don’t use gendered insults, and I don’t use “stripper” as a pejorative.

I think she looks lovely. I’m not really getting a lot of the criticism.

I really loved that.

Those heels with that hemline and that fabric make me anxious. I’d lay 10/1 odds that the dress ended up with a big old hemline hole by the end of the evening.

I’m British, and I can let you into a secret: it’s our revenge for the way you inflicted Madonna on us for all those years.

My garter fell off on the stairs on the way to the ladies’ toilets during the reception. An old gentleman who was staying at the hotel, but wasn’t a wedding guest, brought it to me sheepishly saying “I think this might be yours”.

Goddammit.

I’m a very organised stoner. I have multiple kitchen timers which I label to remind me to do stuff when they go off. Mostly cooking-related stuff; without the timers I tend to wander off and forget that the oven’s on when I’m halfway through.

And then you get instances which stop looking culturally outdated and misguided and awful-but-it-was-the-40s, transcending all that by being just absolutely hateful. Ugh. Just ugh. (Breakfast at Tiffany’s. 1961.)

It’s a Thai Stick - buds strung on a sort of skewer.

Kinda useful for when the goldfish memory hits, though.

Or Hedy Lamarr in White Cargo (1942). Pictures speak louder than words:

How did you deal with the Adra Dragon in this? I ended up giving in to cheese, and making a bunch of paralyse scrolls...

I loved it; terrific writing, great combat model, and just so darn *interesting* to play.

I’d love to, but it’s not mine to share; I don’t think my friends would be very impressed if I put a picture of it online.

Off-registry glasses from my aunt. It wasn’t so much that they were glasses; we all need glasses. It was that they were crusted with gold bits, she included the receipt, and we learned that they cost $100 per glass. Every time one (inevitably) broke I became more and more anxious about the cost of the horrible things.

Our friends came to live with us for a few months just before they got married; another friend had just committed suicide and we all needed some company. So our house was where the wedding list gifts got delivered to - and where the insane off-list things were delivered to as well. My very favourite was a portrait of…

I switched to uBlock a couple of months ago - haven’t looked back. It’s got a *much* lighter footprint, and with a little setup has proved to be far more efficient.

Tab Snooze (Chrome only at the moment, but they’re developing it for Safari and Firefox.)

Probably the year old (imaginary) fetus skull jammed in her birth canal.
