It's definitely a thing for women. I'm only in my 30s and I've gotten backhanded comments from other women about how bold my make-up is, how short my shorts are, how much cleavage I'm showing, etc. etc.

"Aren't you getting a little old for spaghetti straps?"

"How brave! I haven't worn a playsuit since my 20s."

"If I wore those platforms I'd feel like mutton dressed as lamb."

It's pitiful more than anything. Far too many women my age seem convinced they're already decrepit, old hags. And far too comfortable dragging the rest of us down with them.

No luck catching them peacocks then?

Sounds like the easiest solution would be for NHS staff to stop fucking snitching. What do you mean you thought she'd be referred to support services?

Repo! The Genetic Opera. I stopped recommending it after five separate people all said they hated it lol

My dad was 52 when I was born. Getting real tired of developing chronic conditions that are associated with advanced paternal age, ngl.

The French Whisperer. "Whisperer" is a bit of a misnomer since he speaks softly instead of actually whispering but he is very French. He covers a pretty wide range of history, mythology, science, and literature/arts. There's a YouTube channel for videos but he uploads audio-only versions on podcast platforms.

Your first one or two drinks are to get you drunk. After those wait half an hour for your system to absorb all the alcohol, then take a moment and reassess. Is this comfortable? Do I feel sick? Can I get up and walk around? Am I aware of my surroundings?

If you feel good but noticeably drunk then slow way down, this is when you need to switch from getting drunk to staying drunk. Alternate alcoholic drinks with water to stay hydrated.

The inch measurements for men don't account for wider hips/bum so it takes a bit of trial and error to figure out what size to buy. Whenever I buy men's trousers I have to buy them 4 or 6 inches bigger than my own waist and then wear a belt to cinch the excess in. It's kind of a hassle and it's definitely not considered a put-together look by most women so the appeal is limited to the less fashion conscious of us.

Princess Weekes for pop culture/media analysis.

F.D Signifier covers a mix of media and current events.

Dr. Caelan Conrad just got their fake-real doctorate from a paranormal university, highly recommended checking that out.

I spent 18 years brushing with flavoured toothpaste until I realised "wait, I fucking hate this." Switched to unflavoured and brushing is far more pleasant now.

It definitely does. In all my years ordering vodka lemonades I've always gotten a Sprite, Schweppes or R White.

I turn everything inside out because I line dry outside. Since UV bleaches fabric I'd rather fade the inside.
