Engineers going to uni for years to learn what beavers 🦫 know intuitively. Embarrassing.

THE THING

You’ll never forget it

On this day, 15 July 1989, two strikers at the Ever-Sure textile plant in Sheffield, England got married and joined the picket line with their colleagues. They had been on strike for a month for union recognition and for reinstatement of sacked workers. After asking for more information on Facebook, we found out lots more from former participants in the strike. The couple are called Cheryl and Daryl Clarke. The strike lasted for around 13 weeks, and was unsuccessful. A number of other strikers were sacked over the course of the dispute, and their jobs given to scab replacements, although they were later paid some monetary compensation. So, if you see this Cheryl and Daryl, happy anniversary! https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2035474746637665/?type=3

So I binged the entirety of How To Build a Sex Room last night and this one scene just cracked me up

The designer's at a western leather/tack store looking for supplies to make a rustic-style sex swing and turns to one of the store employees for advice, which initially goes about as amusingly as you would expect

So then she pulls up some pictures to give him an idea of what she needs

And he's Immediately like

Are you saying that we shouldn’t talk about women being disproportionately harmed by abortion bans if they have fewer resources? No.

But it’s important that some of the best rhetorical ratfucking of abortion rights has focused on ignoring (or even temporarily ceding ground) women in desperate circumstances seeking abortions to focus on the “wrong” kind of woman who needs an abortion. She’s the kind who uses it instead of birth control or because she doesn’t want to mess up her figure or career or coed party lifestyle.

And we should be aware at how much the bourgeois coed party girl is being conjured in this language v being used about the women with forever access to abortion. How often do see people talking about “mistresses” and how rarely do you hear people use that word normally? Why does brunch come up? Why are we talking about this hypothetical Republican’s underage daughter like she’s a slut whose getting away with something? How fast do people jump into this kind of language after the conversation about access starts? Why do we like clarifying that we don’t like those kinds of abortion-seekers?

As someone who learned to ride a horse before they learned to ride a bike and who still has clocked way more hours on a horse than a bicycle (even though I mostly stopped riding ten years ago), it is sometimes difficult for me to regard a bike purely as a machine. Even after you get past the differences in stance and muscle usage between bike riding and horse riding, there are some riding habits that are difficult to break:

Signalling to the bike that you are turning by turning your head in the direction you intend to go (I have been told I also do this when driving a car)

Standing up in the saddle whenever you go over a speed bump

Counting down from three before you go over an obstacle even though your bike doesn't have legs and therefore doesn't have a stride

Sitting down and leaning back when you use the brakes so as not to give your bike mixed signals

Feeling discombobulated when walking or standing on the right side of your bike

Patting the head tube of your bike to reassure it that it did a good job going up that hill
