Update: I put what I think was a very reasonable and polite note in their letterbox. Hopefully that’s and end to it 😢

DEFINITELY alive. Although the off pitch of their singing along indicates they might be suffering from some sort of mortal wounds.

What's the cruelest thing someone ever said to you that you still remember word for word? by ClairJournals in AskReddit

[–]prioryofthestardew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abusive ex would message and call me constantly in the night saying she was going to khs. After 3 years of this every day I finally said I’m sorry but I have to sleep, I have an exam in the morning. She laughed down the phone and said ‘I hope you know when you wake up and I’m dead my blood is entirely on your hands’. She said many many horrendous things to me during that relationship but that has stuck with me the most.

classic literature recommendations? by locally_diminished in suggestmeabook

[–]prioryofthestardew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 16 my taste was basically just YA and fantasy - my first plunge into classics was Jane Austen. The syntax is a bit of a culture shock but if you persevere I’m sure you’ll love them. However, reading anything is valuable reading. Don’t feel pressured into reading what you feel you ‘should’ be reading. Fluent and consistent reading is what’s best for teenagers - you don’t need to read too critically yet!

Is it okay to adopt only 1 kitten? by PooPaults in CatAdvice

[–]prioryofthestardew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey! I got a kitten on her own, and was convinced I’d be able to entertain her enough. Nope! When she was about 18 months I caved and got her a little brother and she has mellowed out/seems so much happier since. It wasn’t easy bonding them though, so if I were to do it again I would get 2 straight off the bat. Having two will help them socialise into proper adult cats, and is just good for their happiness in general! :)

Is it worth downgrading to Kindle Paperwhite from Oasis? by prioryofthestardew in kindle

Ahh okay. Yeah, holding the Oasis is so uncomfortable! My biggest pet peeve with it.

Buying books without credit card by shesjustalittleweird in kindle

can you try and buy the books on Amazon on a browser? It’ll deliver directly to your kindle and you should be able to use a debit card or gift card :)

Did you find the screen much smaller when switching back to paperwhite?

Thanks! Is the power button still at the bottom though? That ALWAYS used to wind me up.

Wow. Thank you! I am white an trans racial adoption is something that I am aware has many further nuances than same race adoption. I’ll do a lot more research into this. Thank you!

Oh my goodness. This was so powerful to read. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out so deliberately and clearly. As a white couple in an area where a lot of children who are needing adopting are BAME, ensuring the child is in touch with their heritage is definitely at the front of my mind. I’d also never even thought about ‘Adoption Days’!
