Working from home, side by side with my partner. I hear him huff and puff, looking distressed, pulling on his hair. Asked what's wrong.

"Oh, nothing, I just have to make one small adjustment... In this 5k-lines-long ifology spaghetti, obviously written by an absolute, clueless moron!"

"... Was it you?"

"Yep."

Update: the code apparently was not a spaghetti, it was a Jenga tower ;D

I decided to save and replant semi-wild remnants of strawberries on the neglected allotment I got and here's how they repay!

HI LET’S SHARE NICOLE’S WORDS ON THE SUBJECT!

It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it.

Interesting, innit? https://medium.com/@nickyknacks/working-while-female-59a5de3ad266

Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.

In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.

Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.

Also, she posted this is 2017! It’s fucking 2020 and I’ve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dash…

I’ve reblogged his story at least twice; it’s time for Nicole’s.

It’s 2023 and i just now learned that Nicole’s response was also out there

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

That, but also "I wish I broke a bone so I could get some time off without feeling guilty for it" and "I wish I could have a job that's actually useful for the community and yet doesn't starve me"

When rich people receive it, it's called "passive income".

When poor people receive it, it's called "handouts".

my ultimate fantasy is to have a brain and body that allows me to enjoy being alive

"Capitalism lifts people out of poverty."

If that were true, poverty wouldn't exist.

There will soon exist a trillionaire. If capitalism is powerful enough to create a trillionaire, surely it must be powerful enough to accomplish every single one of its goals. So if one of the goals of capitalism is to end poverty, why does poverty exist?

I made a thing! It's warm and fluffy and only six months late!

So I was thinking about the ridiculous motive of Voldemort’s daughter in “The Cursed Child” and I think I figured out how Rowling could have made it a bit more believable. I mean, who buys that Voldemort would just casually bang Bellatrix in the middle of second wizarding war, right? He wasn’t even human then, so how could we expect him to have functioning genitals and any sex drive at all? Through the entire seven books Voldemort was rather asexual, too twisted, too consumed by his obsessions to display even slightest human instincts. So here’s my idea: if Rowling wanted Voldemort to have a child, it should have been born during the first wizarding war. Back then Voldemort still had a functioning human body - rather handsome even - and he was trying to win over the old wizarding bloodlines. I can easily imagine the heads of old families encouraging, even pushing young Tom Riddle to sire an heir - to strengthen the bonds, ensure continuity, start a powerful bloodline, you name it. Back then Bellatrix was young, healthy, pretty and probably easily influenced - probably wouldn’t take much persuasion to talk her into it, and Tom might have even liked her, so the entire act seems much more natural. Plus that would perfectly explain Bellatrix being such an obsessed lunatic during second war - she spent years in Azkaban, knowing her child is out there and all she can do to protect it is to keep her mouths shut. And she desperately tries to win scraps of sympathy from Voldemort, remembering him as the man he was, as her child’s father, knowing he’s her best chance to see the kid ever again and hoping that if he likes her, he’ll take care of their child as well. Any thoughts?
