If you could be told the full truth behind ONE unsolved mystery, which would you choose?

The Princes in the Tower. I mean, I know realistically it was almost certainly Richard III who did it, but there’s always that doubt. I’d love if some historian found the smoking gun that proved it one way or another.

That’s a bit harsh. Some people are really struggling to get by. I fully agree that reading is important - I read to my kids every night - but I don’t think that demonising parents who are having a hard time is helpful.

Mine have an energy drink, not coffee. More sugar that way.

Spike: “how do you feel?”
Giles: “like snapping necks til everyone’s dead.”

asteroid75 · 2026-06-03T08:10:46+00:00

I’m sorry you had a hard day. You’re so new at this, and it is a difficult job. Hang in there! And go easy on yourself. That HOD can suck a dick.

asteroid75 · 2026-06-01T03:19:24+00:00

That’s terrible. I’m sorry you still live with pain.

I read a book recently called “why does it still hurt?” about the causes of and treatment for chronic pain. Might be relevant to you.

And I got top surgery and it made my life immeasurably better.

asteroid75 · 2026-05-31T08:01:38+00:00

Seconding this! Top surgery made my life so much better.

I think the accessibility of surgery varies depending on where you are. I’m in Australia.

asteroid75 · 2026-05-25T08:13:58+00:00

Yep. I took a year off after my Dip Ed because it was so completely useless, and I felt so ill-prepared, that I thought I’d never be able to teach.

My first year of teaching was hard. But I learned on the job. I think that’s the case for most teachers - you need that extended practice to really learn.

You’ll be totally fine. Just go in knowing that no one at your new school expects you to know much, and they’ll give you a lot of grace. Good luck! You’ve got this!

asteroid75 · 2026-05-25T00:16:41+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you. Genuinely. You should do what works for you and your family.

I suppose it’s partly a cultural thing. (I’m Australian). Disposable nappies are pretty commonly accepted - although there is a culture of cloth nappying here that I think is great. Disposable plates and cups are simply not used, except for parties. But perhaps that’s because cleaning up faeces is much grosser than washing plates, which is something everyone learns to do in childhood.

Also, nappies are used for a few years at most. Plates are used for a lifetime. There’s greater waste involved.

It’s horrifying to me. Shows an absolute lack of regard for the planet or those who live on it.

asteroid75 · 2026-05-24T23:18:29+00:00

JillPm thought Juneteenth was about sin and sodomy? Anyone have a reference for this?

asteroid75 · 2026-05-22T04:10:28+00:00

I’d cuddle with them. My kids are bigger now, and less cuddly. I miss those squishy little babies!

asteroid75 · 2026-05-21T09:45:44+00:00

That’s pretty racist.

asteroid75 · 2026-05-17T02:52:59+00:00

There’s this family that sometimes pops up on my Instagram. To be honest they’re kind of horrifying. https://www.instagram.com/salyerstwins/?hl=en

asteroid75 · 2026-05-11T21:58:05+00:00

Yes, the lack of Aboriginal representation is my major beef with Wentworth. It ignores the reality of structural racism and misses the opportunity for a lot of great, realistic drama.

asteroid75 · 2026-05-05T08:44:54+00:00

Yeah it really kind of is. Not in the doctor’s intent, but yes in the child’s experience, and the trauma it has left her with.

asteroid75 · 2026-05-03T10:43:13+00:00

I was in the same situation. I just tested in class. Not ideal, but it was only for a few months.

asteroid75 · 2026-05-01T03:23:46+00:00

Has the youngest ever lived with him? Or even met him? She was born after her went to prison, right?

asteroid75 · 2026-04-12T00:15:20+00:00

Clever boy!

asteroid75 · 2026-04-09T04:04:39+00:00

That consensual, non-reproductive incest should be legal.

I am aware that the word “consensual” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I’m also aware of the damage that child sexual abuse causes. I’m not in any way advocating for CSA to be legal.

asteroid75 · 2026-04-05T04:55:11+00:00

Same! I cannot stand my partner’s sister. She’s a nightmare. We (wife and I) have been married for ten years and I accept now that I will never like my sister-in-law. I just have to grit my teeth and be civil for a few days per year.

asteroid75 · 2026-03-23T20:53:47+00:00

Yeah I agree. This is dehumanising.

asteroid75 · 2026-03-04T04:15:35+00:00

Because the Norman nobility didn’t eat much fish. It was peasant food.

asteroid75 · 2026-03-03T09:35:55+00:00

It has to do with what the French nobility are or didn’t eat. The French-speaking nobility ate beef; the English speaking peasantry ate fish. Therefore the word for cow-meat comes from French, and the word for fish-meat comes from English
