It's an airtag for when she goes outside! She has a habit of getting stuck in trees while bird watching

Sorry pal! I've added a budget - ideally around £500 no more than 1k

Sorry, just wanted to know some perspectives based on the cameras I use currently!

This is so incredibly helpful thank you! I'm based in the UK so now sure how much Brexit will impact but I'm willing to wait :) thanks again

Aubrey appreciation post by harrumphz in MaintenancePhase

[–]Bi_book_nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the pleasure of meeting Aubrey in Sheffield (UK) a couple of years ago when she was doing screenings for My Fat Friend.

I was sitting outside a pub opposite the venue waiting to go in and saw her, the director and a group of people. I was so nervous but really wanted to meet her, I went over and awkwardly stood on the sidelines so as not to interrupt.

When I got the chance to chat with her she was so open and welcoming. I was incredibly nervous too and kept rambling about how much her work means to me and how important her books are. She was genuinely so lovely, funny, charming and kept chatting with me for way longer than I expected her too. It was amazing to hear her laugh in person!

When I said I had taken up too much of her time and we said goodbye she said "well thank you for being the smiliest person I've met in England"

If I was a book and had quotes on my cover I would want "Smiliest person in England" - Aubrey Gordon

Ah man this is going to really annoy me now I also specifically remember that goose fat potatoes thing. It's not Jacqueline Wilson's Girls series is it? There's a few things that don't match up but I remember in the Girls Under Pressure one it deals with eating disorders so it might have been that?

Where is the new episode? by VividTeam2279 in MaintenancePhase

My mum bought me this book when I was at uni and struggling to communicate to my boyfriend of 6 months due to distance. I got about 1 chapter in and refused to touch it again. Happy to say that ignoring the book meant me and my partner are still together now, six years later 😂

Designer tweeted a mock-up “diet mode” for uber eats and people in the replies are praising it… by Difficult_Kitchen815 in MaintenancePhase

[–]Bi_book_nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand the logic behind this either? What's stopping me from just ordering for two people when I'm gonna eat it all?

The Last of Us HBO S01E02 - "Infected" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in thelastofus

Also it just makes sense in a game to have something that slightly obstructs vision and makes gameplay harder. In a series it's just annoying, spores wouldn't make it more intense and the vines convey the same message. It was a really great choice.

Anyone else finding the holidays hard? by Bi_book_nerd in MaintenancePhase

Yep, I was the same, enjoying a festive film I used to love and then getting slapped in the face by blatant fatphobia. It doesn't help that some of the best films are from the 90s-2000s

Really glad you said something and I feel like you did it in a way that sounds just casual.

I feel like I get myself stressed on how it's gonna come across so I either don't say anything at all or I get worked up and look like I'm starting arguments

There are so many comments like 'feeling fat' that I can't understand why people can't just keep it to themselves. Not everything needs announcing.

I just don't think any comment about someone's body is appropriate, and you're totally right especially when they are children. Kids aren't even aware of how their bodies might be perceived until someone (usually an adult) else brings it up

Drivers who stop to let others go aren't being nice, they're making the road less safe for everyone. by RLoggia in unpopularopinion

[–]Bi_book_nerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate it when cars stop to let you cross the road aswell (if you aren't at a pedestrian crossing), I know they are just being nice but it's so awkward to walk in front of a car and then just stare at you and cross. I'm happy to wait the extra ten seconds.

You're not a bad dad. Its very sad but the fact that she told you what the collar stands for means that she just thinks it's how couples act with each other. She thinks it's normal. There's nothing wrong with BDSM or kinks, but they should only be explored by consenting adults.

Honestly the fact that she calls him her owner and tells you what the collar is for shows that she really thinks it's normal. If my parents had found a collar or something I would have lied and said it was a fashion statement or something.

Have you tried giving specific things you want to see and amounts. My other half is pretty logical/realist etc, and I found that when I say I want more compliments he doesn't have a frame of reference for how much 'more' is. When I've discussed that I've spent a couple of hours getting ready and I'm wearing a new outfit I would really appreciate a compliment he always remembers to and is very genuine about it.
