Russell Brand’s “show stopper” biscuit (cookie) diorama was an expressionist depiction of the birth of his second daughter because of course it was. His wife is presented by four figures in the birth pool, in four aspects of her personality. Also depicted are the afterbirth and his wife’s genitals. That’s Russell…

I once lived on a stick of butter cut up into seven cubes and fruit from the office fruit bowl for a week (no fruit on the weekend alas). Literally had no money for nine days until pay day but a few dollars in my wallet, and was sleeping in my car until the only person I trusted enough to tell how fucked up my life…

Once I had no money for nine days until my next pay day and was going to the office acting like nothing was wrong while sleeping in my car, living out of a couple of suitcases, and using public showers. I bought a big stick of butter from the supermarket and ate one seventh of it every morning for a week, as it was…

Okay they called me “morally bankrupt” for saying I think forced labour in non sexual services is as bad as in sexual services. Done now. 

Morally bankrupt?

It seems jhjhjhhjj is aware of the existence of peer support organisations, but considers them “woke pimps” and “astroturfers”. They clearly do not consider it possible for sex workers to support each other in surviving in the industry and exiting it.

This is actually a very good analogy, I’ve tried to argue it too.

Hang on, just on your last point, do you know that a lot of sex worker-run organisations oppose and campaign against trafficking, and support workers who are trying to exit the industry? Predatory pimps and agencies pretending they have worker interests at heart is definitely a thing, but peer-run organisations are by…

If a woman has been enslaved and trapped in a sweatshop, or a child is enslaved and trapped labouring on a fruit farm, either of them worked to the point of exhaustion and injury, I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable telling them their suffering is less valid than someone else’s suffering. I’m against all trafficking. I…

If you know your Easter brunch guests will get the joke rather than be alienated and repulsed, you can make a tasty version of Scotch eggs using rabbit mince. I’ve done this a few times, and I use a recipe based on a recipe for “rabbit rissoles” from an old cookbook from my childhood home.

(I’m replying @ you rather than an anti, because god knows we’ll never change their views) also something a lot of Americans don’t seem to realise is that FOSTA-SESTA has crippled sex workers globally, not just in the US, including in places where sex work is decriminalised or legalised and regulated. Backpage was the…

I’m a sex worker too and sometimes I don’t like that job AND THAT SHOULD BE FUCKING OKAY. I don’t always like my day job either and nobody tries to criminalise that, or criminalise the industry that hired me, or tries to rescue me from my little cubicle hamster wheel because “YoU’Re oNLy dOIng iT FoR tHE mOnEy”. Why…

Do you also think about exploited and forced labourers every time you buy clothes or food, or look at a building? Trafficking victims end up in a LOT of industries, both in the first and third worlds, but nobody proposes the solution to trafficking victims ending up slaving in agribusiness is to shut down agribusiness…

I was late to Green Book as I got the start time wrong. I didn’t know ANYTHING about it except the title and because I’m Australian not American all I knew about that is “there was a travel safety guide for African Americans in the 60s called the green book”.

I would try anything on the menu in the link. But aren’t half of the Famous People who’ll be going to this on diets that mean they probably won’t eat much at all, either for calories or food groups? 

They are furious they can’t sledge her for being ugly, because ugly is the worst thing you could possibly call a woman. /eye roll

I’m pretty sure you could drizzle some plain mayo over some iceberg leaves, shake some Parmesan from a jar over, and he’d think it was fine as long as it was served on a gold plate. 

I only know what the fuck these even are because of the episode of The Good Place where Chidi has a breakdown and makes Peeps chilli in his university lecture. I thought the writers had made up a junk food at first. But then I learned they’re a real thing. Chidi definitely wouldn’t have been able to find Peeps in a…

Oh man, fucking Amnesia. After my first couple of sessions I could only bring myself to play it during the day, with the curtains open and sunlight streaming in, and even then I’d have to take a break every now and again and go for a little walk in the yard or even just around the house.

Yeah, in my house this is what you do with leftover spaghetti carbonara.
