Lol, not to worry - totally loved the outfit, tho!

Haha, one of those slightly horrifying moments as an adult when you realise the nature of what you were into - it was strangely affirming when reading TLOCC that I was Not The Only One to have had that experience.
*Totally* loving the pod; humour, insights and measured critiques = perfection

Obviously, we're always inventing new words for new concepts or just fun - but some just seem too try-hard or twee to my ears 🫠

I wish I could explain concisely! Partly, bc when the term was invented, most famous person who ID'd as such at the time annoyed the crap out of me. I'm perfectly happy with "femmy butch" or "butchy femme"! Also, I detest "polyamory" - I do open relationships, no need to invent weird words, maybe?

Definitely an excellent look! Alas, I'm allergic to that particular term.

I ditched my fandom account when I gave up on Twitter. Then again, there's only one thing I've produced/consumed fan material on, and the show finished years ago. I assumed the dearth of fan material I've seen was therefore a "just me" thing, but yeah, I've seen no fandom *accounts* either

Goddammit, I just took a sip of bubbly as I read that and nearly choked to death. At least I would have gone out laughing my butt off 😂

Just found the pod - binged up to the end of S2 and the bonus ep promo re upcoming orientalist themes and Arabian Nights versions. My thought: prob not Richard Burton! [alas, it was my source of early 80s adolescent pr0n due to innocent public librarians]. So glad to hear the boot is being put in!

Hah, I doubled the RAM I originally decided on for the laptop that I ordered last month. No fucking Windows either, despite my 27.5 years supporting that increasingly-garbage Copilot-infested PoS. I got a Framework lappie, tho', and they profess a commitment to h/w upgradeability 🤞

You CAN condemn what happened to the Bondi Jewish community and you CAN oppose the genocide and you CAN oppose Oct 7 and you CAN condemn the oppression Gazans faced before that, without it justifying anything that came next.

You can and you must. You have to want it *all* to stop.

"Secure FU" in the url - unusually honest as well

I got shingles 2 weeks before I embarked on an overseas trip about a decade ago. TG I got the antivirals fast, and they worked, but I felt like crap thru most of my trip and for weeks after, with a painful itchy rash on top. Versus slight malaise/blahness for < 1 day after the vax.

I was a kid the time, and it is literally the first news story I remember. Huge impact on the country

And for the more basic among us, an excellent French toast base. Even more basic, heated a little in microwave (or grilled, or heated in a dry pan) and a helping of wa custard tipped on top. A sprinkle of orange (any) liqueur before heating is extra bonus.

Yeah, I loathe those "cultural feminist" types (not least bc of their coining terms like "wombyn"). At a dance (also in the 80s), one of yelled at me for being "male-identified" - apparently my gf and I appeared too butch/femme for her. She prob would've had an aneurysm if she knew the gf was bi.
