Poverty. It’s fucking shit. You live in constant fear, fear of not being able to eat, losing your home, and one breakage wiping you out for months or years. You live day to day or week to week, your life revolves around money and you might have to take shitty treatment from employers cos you don’t have options. The poor really do pay more. There’s a reason that it’s called the poverty trap and not the poverty easily escapable zone.

Yep that’s why I don’t buy recipe books anymore! I’d only use a couple

Yep! This really isn’t normal bloke behaviour at all. The academic research into incels is interesting, they have black and white thinking re dating. “Women are sluts who only date hunks, I’m unattractive so can’t get women. They’re the issue not me!” They egg each other on to agree with abusing women and scarily, even commit mass violence

I’ve toyed with a bread machine but I think I can’t be trusted, I’ll just end up eating bread all day. Home baked bread is just too good!

This is a really important issue. It’s rife on social media, and as a DA outreach worker, it’s something that concerns me. Anecdotally I find it a lot with my teenage clients, and they can find it hard to see they’re being abused because they see it as “we get in fights sometimes” “it’s equality”.

The fact is women tend to be less physically strong than men, and IME are often less experienced with fighting and/or manual skills. This means it’s often harder for us to fight a man. Importantly within DA the perp will have coercive control of their partner. That’s hard to fight against, so even if she hits him, he still has far more power.

I’ve noticed a lot of the people sharing the videos or making these comments are men with a history misogynistic behaviours. They’re often vocal about “female privilege” etc, and can just come across as pushing an agenda. I really think it’s just them pushing a narrative to excuse them being violent to women.

It’s a scary narrative that’s being pushed under the banner of Feminism. Feminism isn’t the right to be violent to women!

And keeps beautifully

Hey me!! I paid for professional curls 18 months ago for a night out, within a couple of hours they’d gone flat. Not worth the money although they looked great!

I’ve never got the hang of bread so I’m jealous

They are! And dead easy which is always good

Pink is always good! Have you made much from the starview valley book?
