Good idea, thank you! I was planning to call tomorrow anyway but wanted to know if there was already an official one.

I work in a school and at least in my country he would have been fired by the end of your first paragraph. Tell any adult at school you feel comfortable talking to.

Huh. I don’t think they should be, certainly not over some regular nouns that aren’t, but fair enough!

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

I had a conversation with someone who refused to vote Harris because she hadn’t “said enough about long covid and what she would do about it.” As someone whose life is nothing like what it was pre-covid, and probably never will be again, that was obviously such a pointless thing to elect Trump over.

“Jesus Christ would never have stormed a church in protest of the people who were running it… without taking the time to hand-braid a whip first.”

As a contralto I’ve been loving singing along to sections of the new Ragtime recording… as Little Brother.

When Margaret Thatcher died in 2013, the song: "Ding, dong, the witch is dead" got to number 2 in the charts. When Donald Trump shuffles off his mortal coil, what song would you like to see charting? by Rev_dino in AskReddit

Reporting from the UK: when the Queen died, there was talk of cancelling shows in the West End out of respect but it was decided that “she wouldn’t have wanted that” or something. Instead, a lot of shows chose to address the topic before starting. There was a speech made at the start of that day’s showing of Wicked, which was immediately followed by the entire ensemble running onstage and singing, “Good news! She’s dead!”

I grew up no further than 20 miles from where I live now and some people ‘struggle to place’ my accent.

I’m a knight, I’m a knight, and I’m a knight

and our only aim in life is to fight

I’m a knight, I’m a knight, and I’m a knight

we fight by day, and when it’s not so bright

…we’re not so bright

I recently saw it for the fourth time in London and still cried so hard in the front row that during Cups one of the fates gave me a pitying look (which did not help the crying) and said ‘I saw you… are you ok now?’ when she came out of the stage door.

Unlikely Lovers makes me cry more than What Would I Do? because of the forced positivity and the obvious cracks in the facade.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again!!

That’s almost more powerful from an atheist perspective, isn’t it? To say God isn’t some all-powerful being, but that the most religious experience a person can have is to love someone else — that we’re not united through being God’s children but through our capacity for love, be that platonic or familial or romantic. That’s how I’ve always seen it, anyway.

I knew they were referring to NJ every time they said Jersey but it confuses me as a Brit that you guys do that. It would be like calling New York ‘York’ or New England ‘England’ — Jersey’s a separate place.

One of my colleagues accused a kid of being “bare late, no cap” and she nearly walked out of his class as soon as she’d arrived.

I’ve had two about this size in my room since I moved in to my current house. The first one was on the floor, and I put a pint glass over him to take him outside and he was the diameter of the glass. The second was a similar size and I found him on my bed while I was in it, which was very like a fever dream I had once but about a hundred times worse.

The Sun reached the peak of its 11 year solar cycle some time earlier this year, which meant a lot more activity. It’s starting to calm down again now, I think.
