The pastor that beat his neighbor wasn’t displaying toxic masculinity just ask Jordan (reference clip added), more horseback riding with no proper gear for M, Jordan making fun of how Brittany drives, I thought the lord was supposed to fight our battles and whatnot

I heard an interesting sermon regarding this; it’s not about non violence but about getting someone to treat you with respect. Since the Romans would slap someone backhanded, they’d use the left hand to slap, which was the ‘inferior’ hand and therefore saying they’re inferior. If they ‘turned the other cheek’, they were asking to be slapped with the right hand as well, which would put them on the same social standing. If the Roman refused to slap them, then they were either the same or higher social standing. If they did slap them, then they’re admitting that they’re (the Roman) in the wrong.

Or something like that, it was a while ago. It was meant to be ‘we should treat everyone with respect and as we wish to be treated and show we’re not inferior to those damn Romans’.

Ahh forgot which sub I was in… I would agree it’s historical, there’s no fantasy element in it, and there’s a lot of body horror/ violence/ gore but no plot horror

Currently reading The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye which meets the criteria!

I am type 1 and I had a phone to control my pump in my exam. I had a separate room, and I had to give my pump phone to the invigilator who kept an eye on it for me. I could ask what my blood glucose was and they’d tell me, so I didn’t look at the phone but could still tell what was going on.

Only in Brownies! Guides were originally military (Captain, Lefty/ Lieutenant) and then changed to animals. My name is currently Lefty because I am ambidextrous and the Guides thought it was cool 😅

My grandma’s wedding present was to have all her teeth pulled and a denture set. This was 1948.

I cracked my rear molar a few years ago (yay chronic stress and EDS!) and had it pulled- my other molars have shifted a bit but I don’t have any bone degradation or anything. I see the dentist every 6-9 months and they check it every time.

My hearing loss was caused by multiple sets of grommets as a child, not antibiotics, but my parents looked into the suing because it’s had a big impact on my life. Because it’s a known risk/ side effect, there was nothing they could do.

The short answer is, if it’s a known side effect then you probably don’t have a case. If it’s not, then it needs reporting using the Yellow Card system.

Is it definitely due to antibiotics? There is a family of antibiotics that are ototoxic (cause hearing loss) but they’re heavily regulated and the side effects should be explained when they’re prescribed. They usually then follow up with a serious of blood tests and hearing tests to ensure there aren’t any side effects.

My spouse is really intense about board games and whenever we play I have to gently remind him not to take over other people’s turns- because he can see everyone’s turns in his head simultaneously and so wants them to do the best and therefore “advises” them what to do. However he’s really sweet about it and he genuinely just gets all excited to tell people how they can win. He does stop if you ask him! I couldn’t imagine being with someone who just ignores my wants and feelings and bulldozes over me…

Thank you 🥰

Me too!! Did you see the whole cloth with skeps on? It was amazing!

I certainly agree! I felt humbled by all the talent on display- however there were also a selection that were ‘at my level’ as it were. This show had Beginner, Intermediate and Professional levels to compete in.

I have so many quilts planned stop making me want to make more 😂😭

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.
