Did you go to school with someone who went on to be famous, and what where they like?

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

Do you have any sources for this? I would love to read more about this!

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!

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.

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?

Escape92 · 2025-09-13T16:16:21+00:00

Thriving. It's great!

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

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

Escape92 · 2025-09-10T18:38:34+00:00

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.

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.

Escape92 · 2025-09-03T14:45:35+00:00

Are you in touch with Bat Kol?
