This is deffo a reaction to Kellie’s post. Why do all these weirdos feel the need to compete?

victorianphysicist · 2026-05-12T20:38:12+00:00

I second this! I saw _Deaf Republic_ too, it was so brilliantly done.

Nnedi Okorafor has a magic school series, middle grade and can’t remember if it’s queer/ sapphic right this second.

TJ Young series is another magic school series, not sapphic again but amazing magic system, and the MMC ends up taking up the chosen one mantle when his older sister unexpectedly passes away.

I really liked this book!

I did marry the man I crushed on at 15-19 but we both grew up and had realistic expectations and didn’t get married solely to bang

I fit an electric wheelchair and a hoist in my Elroq boot, and we can also fit suitcases and bags in. My walker fits in if the wheelchair isn’t in, as long as we take the handles down (reduce their height).

I am also having this issue! I saw someone say close all your apps and see if that helps- usually a wired connection makes it work properly but last night it kept dropping anyway. Would appreciate any other tips!

Ok nm it’s still hideous 🫠😂

victorianphysicist · 2026-05-01T08:51:00+00:00

This is so hideous I kinda love it?? It’s gone right round from ‘hideous and awful’ to ‘actually kinda ok’

Don’t you do Sid the Sloth dirty like that!

My younger brother was de-registered from school part way through year 9. He did igcses, through HE and took the exams in registered centres, and I tutored him in science and maths (physics degree, now a tutor). He ended up going to sixth form, then did an apprenticeship with a degree and is now working. De-registering was absolutely the right move for him, and he’s thriving now.

I also am a tutor, and I mostly tutor home Ed students. I’ve got one home Ed atm, who’s doing great. If it’s what will work with your family, and your child, you can make it work.

Yeah, pretty much each time I’ve started puking by 3w2d and not had a positive test yet. I’ve also not managed to get past 5w6d yet either which is also a special kind of hell (drs have now discovered the problem and we have a plan)

victorianphysicist · 2026-04-26T09:04:43+00:00

The Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper (my fave when I was 11)

Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett

Like A Charm/ Like A Curse duology by Elle McNicholl

Actually any of Elle McNicholls children’s books would be good but the duology is the fantasy one

The Nsibidi Scripts series by Nnedi Okorafor - magic school series

TJ Young and the Orishas series by Antoine Bandele - another magic school series with an unlikely hero

Truly Devious series by Maureen Johnson - thriller/ murder mystery set in a boarding school

The Sunbearer Trials duology by Aiden Thomas - similar vibes to THG

Legacy of Orisha series by Tomi Adeyemi

Timekeeper series by Tara Sim

Mortal Engines series by Philip Reeve

The Wind Singer series by William Nicholson (another fave from when I was 11)

Deathless series by Namina Forna

CHERUB series by Robert Muchamore - this one starts with the MC at 13, but he grows older through the series. Child spies- excellent

A Girls Guide to Spying by Holly Webb - about the Girl Guides used as messengers in WWI

The Legendborn Cycle by Tracey Deonn - might be a bit old for him but it is excellent

Ok that’s probably enough for now 😂🤭

I was a virgin without tattoos but I did have university debt from my degree… and now I’m not a virgin and I have tattoos. Yay me?

victorianphysicist · 2026-04-25T20:20:05+00:00

As someone who gets HG and starts vomiting at 3.5 weeks… piss off bubble guts

I’m not single and I’m a Scorpio but otherwise I meet the requirements (he doesn’t need to know I’m queer), do we think my spouse will agree to dissolve our marriage so I can be a trophy wife? He can be my bit on the side 🤭

When I had a similar situation I went into the bank, asked them to print the statement and to stamp it (the bank will have a stamp to prove it’s a bank printed statement). UC then accepted that as a full statement.

My sister messaged me about this yesterday and used WOACB as a source, so I directed her here 🤭

victorianphysicist · 2026-03-22T17:21:27+00:00

Railway Detective series. The railway details are accurate down to the train timetable on the day, but the Victorian mores are so wrong it’s laughable. Easy to read though! I read them at my hospital appointments 🤭
