I have two small children. Most bed sharing in our house involves them lying on me and him sharing the couch with the dog.

my years of retail (department store, books, women’s clothing and then disgustingly overpriced airport accessories) taught me more than my years of university about teams and accountability and problem solving. Wouldn’t change them for anything.

Coming from somewhere (Australia) where tipping is neither expected or common, and having spent years in north America, there is a massive difference in the quality of service between those who rely on tips and those who don’t.

I don’t really understand the seeming co-dependency here.

The point I am making is that autism is not a binary condition. Its not a genetic disease that you either have and its debilitating, or you don’t and you are fine. Its a spectrum disorder, and most of the people on the spectrum aren’t even openly autistic. So how autistic is ‘too’ autistic? Someone who can run their…

Aborting a healthy fetus because you don’t want a baby is different to selectively aborting a fetus because it isn’t precisely the baby you do want. The right to choose, which I believe is necessary for any modern society, then becomes a but like eugenics. People abort female foetuses. When i was in hospital having my…

Most people with autism are pretty awesome people. We just do things differently. It is a minority of people on the spectrum who can’t live relatively ‘normal’ lives. I have autism, a career and family, sexuality, hobbies, pets - heck I’m almost people! Aborting for an autism ‘marker’ would rid the world of a lot of…

I'm not really. I just do my best to get by.

No I don’t have time!

hello.

I'm a bona fide fatty and I say everyone can get their boobs out and its wonderful. #notallfatties see thinner women as competition.

My parents don’t want me in their lives because I am simultaneously a pathetic, weak, cowardly doormat who wants to be abused, an abusive child who is guilty of elder abuse and they cant stand to see how ‘low I have fallen’ ( I have not fallen low at all. I have a normal happy life). Mostly they don’t like me because…

Growing up with undiagnosed Aspergers or High Functioning Autism was hard. It was hard because my parents just thought I was stupid and immature, and I had no confidence that I was behaving inappropriately so I just accepted that I was a bit ‘touched’, as they called it.

Its good that it is attainable somewhere. Unfortunately I have not found there to be many graduate jobs in a lot of fields outside of Sydney or Melbourne. House prices are ridiculous in Australia - ideally you shouldn’t pay more than a third of your yearly income on rent or mortgage - I pay 79% of my yearly income on…

On hot days I look in every parked car I pass for forgotten kids and dogs. I train my kids to do the same thing. I don’t care that it looks weird, most of the things I do look weird, but so many kids and dogs die in hot cars unnecessarily, and it doesn’t kill you to glance at any child seats you see.

He is my favourite royal. As a lifelong socially inappropriate person, we know our own.

They are so dumb. Mine cost $500 inclusive of clothing for both of us. I did it purely because my partner had a boyhood dream about being married and I'm a kind person. I like being married, but the wedding was meh.

I hope we clinked a drink or shared a smoke or something :)

Oh the live music scene..... I still have my blue snakeskin docs, I had rainbow coloured hair and wore fairy wings and butterfly antennae and would get trashed with random Aussie celebs in gritty bars, smoke pot in beer gardens sitting on security’s knee - the headiness of the Melbourne laneways and earnest, political…

I pretty much existed to see bands. I got to know a lot of the 90’s and early 00’s bands pretty well.
