"I became sexually active at 26 after folks from the kink community noticed my nerdy vibe, and they schooled me in some basic human interaction."

Solidarity fist bump. My own experience was somewhat different, but there is the common ground of learning communication skills on a lag, and learning from a niche community of lovely weirdos

Oooh, give me some of the words on your words list. I have one of my own, and accordingly, will share a random selection of recent entries: "that"; "nuisance";"apotheosis"; "knobbly"; "vehement"; "perfidious"; "befitting"; "timid"; "verisimilitude"; "knack".

During COVID, I had a mental breakdown when I finished a university exam (which had been at home, on my computer) and was desperate to be anywhere but at my desk, sitting at my computer. However, I was also desperate to decompress with my friends, but they were in my computer.

When the UK switched to using plastic for the denominations of money that come as notes (£5, £10, £20, £50), people who use cocaine found that the new, plastic notes had a tendency to cut or scratch their nose. Because the £5 notes were the first ones to be switched to plastic, and they have Winston Churchill on them, apparently this phenomenon was termed "being Winstoned". E.g. "careful with that, you don't want to be Winstoned".

I have no other point to make, I just think that this is hilarious.

At least the crippling depression isn't mixed up with the wire. A functional organisation system isn't a substitute for a will to live, but an inability to find the right tools would certainly not help

Edit: I am also extremely fine, and I am wishing us both all the best on that front; I hope that some day, you are able to be better than fine.

These guys are as bad as the terrorist group Palestine Action (sarcasm, directed at the fact that the proscribing of Palestine Action as a terrorist group happened in the same vote as this group; if an MP had wanted to vote to outlaw RIM but not Palestine Action, it would have been impossible to do so)

No sexy man companions? Psh. And they call us man haters

No, Anarchism is one of the approaches one can take when we acknowledge that there are bad actors, and that there is no magic method to make everyone get along. If there were such magic, there would be no need for Anarchism.

I appreciate that your title makes it clear that this is an old article. Certainly it's still relevant, but going into the article with knowledge of its age calibrates my mindset

I really like this. What style/script is it? I can't place it amongst any of the scripts that I have learned (though to be fair, it has been a long while since I have done calligraphy)
