Today I had a very surreal experience. I was at work and I suddenly came over wanting to cry but obviously couldn’t so I tried to concentrate on work and felt like I’d divided myself in two and one of me was screaming in a tiny room. It was so real, it was like I … Read More
I laughed at some of the memes. A lot of the memes to be honest. This from someone who was so horrified by her reaction to Maggie Thatcher’s death that I donated to Shelter. I guess I did recognise that I was dehumanising/othering people who happen to be a magnitude of wealthy that is completely … Read More
One of the earliest memories I have of my Great Uncle Arthur is of him telling me that I shouldn’t use “Real” as an intensifier as it was an Americanisation and I should use “really”, I may have rolled my eyes at him, obviously I wanted to use ‘real’ because it made me sound American … Read More
I was late to the whole tabletop RPG thing, by which I mean I was intrigued at the group of nerdy guys who were running it when I was in fifth form but I wasn’t actually able to play it myself. Mostly I saw them playing OWOD Vampire (Old World of Darkness as opposed to … Read More

Ok, so after yesterday I felt kind of bad about enjoying the memes, because I’m not viewing five people (yes, I looked it up) who are trapped in a truly awful situation as being people. Well today I’m feeling even worse because I absolutely am realising that at least one is a person I can … Read More
I have been enjoying the memes about the people who are trapped in the titan submersible, it’s only today that I’m getting a twinge of guilt and even then not as much as I really think I should. There’s a real gap in my mind between the fact that four people are stuck at the … Read More
I think it’s gotta be UniQ the Lancaster university Queer Society. In a lot of ways it was a complete nightmare, but then university societies are all kind of awful as well as awesome. Christ if you want to read an entry from this blog whilst I was fully wrapped up in the bizarre politics … Read More
How are we defining relationship here? Because I was very definitely calling things when I was in my ethical slut phase not Relationships. I think the Jellicle might be my first proper girlfriend cause M-I-L have only been together for ten years (this week). But then if we define relationship as being together rather than … Read More
