Um. I hate to say this, (love Oz, happy memories) but the way Australia treats the immigrants in those island camps is really very shockingly bad. I mean Australia is not much better than this. 

So hilariously, I remember reading one of Rose’s books when I was ten and it made me so glad for the safety net of the health service and social security system in the country where I lived.

I mean I don’t usually get my news and political editorials from flipping Vogue, preferring newspapers and such.

As even Spanish Vogue has pointed out, this is not parity, this is normality. Sometimes governments will have more of one gender than another.

You know what? Thinking about it, I am truly glad this weird thing made you happy. No, really. When I think about some of the ridiculous things that have made me happy. We have to find the good bits where we can. Am I also glad you didn’t spend actual money on going and seeing this in person, also, so much yes.

She can spend her money how she likes and I can think it’s a stupid waste. So. Yeah.

And it’s supposed to be pop culture from a feminist perspective. So. Yeah.

No, I totally get why Bread and Circuses are so much more fun than having to think about everything wrong with the world.

This is one of the most depressing stories I’ve ever seen on here.

I don’t know. You could think of it as an instruction for her when she gets older. Or a weird cry for help.

Luckily only women cause children to occur.

I could definitely see that, as in 1998 they were way bigger stars than the actors who eventually got those roles, and much better known in the USA. And I could definitely see Ashley Judd as Arwen.

And the inside looks quite nicely decorated but for some reason they’ve stuck up what look exactly like dirt cheap IKEA light shades on the ceiling.

No, I think that’s all pretty much exactly right.

That sucks. Do wrap up warm, big socks, hoodies, layers etc. I’ve been there too and it was tough, especially when the temperature outside drops even further at night. You don’t want to get sick.

So true. That’s exactly what I have now. They’re slower to heat a room, but better and safer.

Yes, The Good Friday peace agreement. This was the agreement, negotiated with the help of the US that ended most of the sectarian violence and terrorism in Northern Ireland (I say most, because there is still a bit of it happening). It was agreed that there would be no physical sign of a border dividing the two…

Actually, I’d say don’t ever leave your space heater unattended just generally. They can catch fire if they overheat, and they sometimes can overheat.

You’re right. That’s exactly the problem, and this fudge of a report has not really resolved it.

Yes, I too was surprised to hear he was a Leave voter. But there it is.
