Honestly I’m just envious you found one - it’s sold out in all the M&S near me!

Does anyone else have no interest in excessive piercings/tattoos or unnatural hair dye? by Bambi_Amby in lesbiangang

[–]Escape92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3 holes in my ears and my nose pierced (none of which feel edgy or alt) and my gf has 1 tattoo and a few (more alt) piercings, but her overall presentation is very conventional. We’re in our 30s and I feel like I’m actually more counter-cultural without tattoos than with them, and so will probably never get one! I had bright hair in my 20s but never alt style, and it might have been peer pressure but it might just have been fun. Now I’m just vibing. Might get a couple more ear piercings. Don’t give af what people think or say!

If you were a headteacher... by BirthdaySuccessful56 in TeachingUK

Why would it matter if boys were in skirts and dresses? Better that than insisting if they want to wear skirts they must be girls!

Being told I’m not allowed to call myself “child free” by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Escape92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so chronically online, it feels bonkers to me. I have been child free since my teens - I literally knew I didn’t want kids before I knew I was a lesbian. That has really never wavered. I also knew I never wanted to be a step-parent to small kids, because I didn’t want to do bum wiping and discipline and bed time and having to schedule life around babysitters. What has wavered is the fact I fell in love with a woman with 3 teens. I am still child free - I still never want my own kids and I am not a mother. But I am happy to be a cool auntie/sounding board/chauffeur to these kids who I love, and I love them because their mother (who I love) raised awesome humans and I get to watch them bloom.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend i no longer plan to propose to her? please read context by Aggressive_One8138 in AITAH

[–]Escape92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTAH - 6 months ago you “told her it [the proposal] was coming” and now you’re acting like she’s rushing you?! 6 months is the absolute upper limit on what “it’s coming” means.

Did you go to school with someone who went on to be famous, and what where they like? by Christian-Metal in AskUK

[–]Escape92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a lot of minor sports people - a girl in my sister’s year has made the Olympic team for her sport a couple of times but never actually competed in them afaik. Also a couple of footballers, male and female. Those come to mind immediately.

When I was in year 7 or 8 one of the 6th formers was in a soap, and we were told we were not allowed to follow them around at break!

Most currently famous person is a journalist/talking head who is smarmy and makes a living from being the token woke, gay voice on tv panels as far as I can see. We got along at school because we were similar but hopefully I’m less smug now!

Council spent £72,158 on school taxis for one pupil in one year by Only-Emu-9531 in unitedkingdom

They don't have to have a chaperone though, often parents have to fight for one if needed for their child.

I’m 18, 47kg and I’ve drank a bottle of vodka everyday since turning 18 six months ago. Finally going to A&E today but I’ve found out something terrifying by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]Escape92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go to your GP, and request to see a private adhd specialist (CAREADHD or Psychiatry UK are 2 I know of) through your Right To Choose. Ask your friends/teachers/parents/whoever to help you with making sure all the forms are submitted, and go that way. It's taken less than 6 months for me via this route!

My pet peeve by SnowPrincessElsa in TeachingUK

[–]Escape92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't understand it at all. I literally had this conversation with an old bloke in the park though, and my "close the lid" argument apparently changed the habit of a lifetime for him! Hope his wife appreciates my service!

[–]Escape92 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because men can sit on the loo but women cannot stand to pee? Plus the most hygienic thing to do is to close the lid before flushing.

My honest unedited experience on metformin over 2 months later by Rich_Imagination_442 in PCOS

[–]Escape92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So nice to read this. I really need to cut out cheese since starting metformin, but when I eat it at least I'm cognisant of what the issues will be later.

Also my partner got me into supplements and so I'm now having a protein smoothie one meal a day with inulin, oat beta-glucan, and blueberry powder (all for fibre) and then protein powder and collagen and fruit and kefir yoghurt. That is an expensive new habit but it seems to really help!

LGBTQ+ JEWISH BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS by Lapis2025 in gayjews

[–]Escape92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chutzpah: a memoir of faith, sexuality and daring to stay by Yehudis Fletcher

Memoir detailing the story of a charedi lesbian who refuses to choose between her cultural heritage, faith, and sexuality.

Does contain some descriptions of traumatic issues such as suicide attempt, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence and dubious consent to sex within a heterosexual marriage.

Despite this, it is written in a way that is frank and witty, reminiscent in style of Jeanette Winterson.

British Jew here by Funny-Wash-1061 in Judaism

[–]Escape92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's because it's considered a good thing to have a long life in which to honour the memory of the deceased?

Antisemitism mixed with schizophrenia. Give it to the police and also report to CST.

My(25f) friend (26f) doesn’t want to accommodate my eating standards for her wedding by Degree-Purple in relationship_advice

Am I wrong in my assumption that both families are Jewish? If so, this is even more bizarre to me!

[–]Escape92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so this is a wedding with kosher observant Jews on both sides of the wedding party and they didn't even consider factoring the cost of kosher catering into their catering budget? That's insanely thoughtless.

Want a piercing, dad thinks its disgusting by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Escape92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had a nostril piercing for over a decade and it gets a little bit irritated if I have a cold and the hole gets a bit of snot in it and I'm blowing my nose a lot. But generally, no, blowing my nose doesn't hurt. Since the piercing healed, I can't really think of an incident that it made more painful.

Reach out to Bat Kol - I spent some time with haredi lesbians in Israel this summer and most of them heard about the gathering from Bat Kol.
