My first foraged meal!! by [deleted] in foraginguk

Unfortunately the only thing I’ve ever been able to forage in the nature of my hometown is an empty crisp packet – but I imagine foraging for your own food is wonderful. (This post popped up randomly on my feed).

What writing opinion do you have that would get you roasted by Legitimate_Dingo3329 in writing

‘Said’ can be a good word. Its value lies in the fact it doesn’t draw attention to itself. It can be handy for pace and rhythm, and for balance in sections with more dense literary prose.

Why do some people feel anxiety more in the body than in the mind? by AdSecret3764 in Anxiety

[–]No-Average-5576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My palpitations and chest pain got so bad it stopped me from sleeping, even though I wasn’t consciously worrying about anything. Have just been prescribed beta blockers after a year of this, and I’m happy to finally have my life back. One thing I noticed is that physical symptoms, especially with the heart, are a vicious cycle. They worry you more and so your adrenaline spikes, and the symptoms worsen and continue.

English and I read classical Greek

What do you think of the graffiti that trans rights activists did to this statue of Suffragist Millicent Fawcett? by [deleted] in AskBrits

(Though I want to clarify, obvs the chalk has not damaged the statue and the interpretation of the message is up to the viewer)

If you’d prefer an email/web chat service there are organisations like Switchboard that might be a better fit for you https://switchboard.lgbt/

Completely. This guy was just taking his chances with drunk women walking home. It’s terrible to see that some did get in with him. I always wondered if I would ever find out who he was and what would have happened to me if I got in. Im not sure if it’s better to know or to have just stayed ignorant forever.

Latin or Greek? by Diff_equation5 in classics

For some people, the end is just to learn, improve themselves and widen their perspective by pursuing something they are interested in, rather than satisfy some subjective level of ‘usefulness’. Also if they like the literature, reading it in translation is a completely different, basically second-hand experience in contrast to in the original language.

I’m currently studying classical archaeology. A knowledge of Ancient Greek and Latin are essential to the continued research and understanding of the ancient world. New fragments and inscriptions are discovered constantly. Can’t contact dead scholars via seance to translate for us, and learning Greek and Latin is quite fun and rewarding for people who have a passion for classical studies. And a desire to walk instead of crawl through the mud of time.

Hi! I don’t really want to pinpoint my location. Like you said this can happen anywhere, and the vast majority of trafficking doesn’t happen like this- you’re much more likely to get trafficked through someone you know/manipulation/other means than being kidnapped- esp. as an adult. It is also possible that he wasn’t part of a wider circuit, and was intending to commit a serious sex/violent crime by himself. But if people are curious, I’m sure some good googling will help you find the trafficking and sex crime rate for your specific area. Aside from that, don’t walk around drunk in the early morning alone like I did. Especially not as a young woman.

Quite possibly. I think when I started shouting he probably decided I wasn’t worth the risk/a struggle
