He really missed a trick not having it full of dogs … because Rover …

This is something I’ve always found a bit perplexing - US female combat troops often have long hair, which they keep up and tight while working.

Both me and my other half often do physical work (I’m a volunteer firefighter, she does arbourist work on the side) and neither of us can stand having long hair … if I were doing military work, I can’t imagine how needlessly uncomfortable that long hair is!

Same goes for women MMA fighters.

In other news, my other half looks like Sinead O’Connor when she shaves her hair, while I look more like a Gulag escapee for some reason … so I have to live with a pixie cut or longer.

I read the first 3/4 of it, then gave up because I don’t care about someone trying to talk sense into a political institution that has repeatedly failed working people since Tony “War Criminal” Blair came into power.

The use of “alarm bells” and “radicalised” didn’t come off as sarcastic, so I still think this is a stupid article.

I have read it, it literally says that some young women are being “radicalised” into voting Green, which is intensely ridiculous.

It appears aimed at bending the ears of Labour, but anyone who has been around for a while will know that Labour is very good at ignoring progressive or environmentally minded voices from within their own ranks.

How to do basic mindfulness meditation, which isn’t difficult.

I’m not usually into that sort of thing, but it does help.

I haven’t come across anyone who has given me more than a light ribbing about not speaking Catalan (I can read it just fine).

Only something like 25% of people living in Catalunya have Catalan as their first language.

And I’m saying that young women voting more to the left is no reason at all to sound an alarm … if anything it’s a good thing, given how the British centrist parties keep fucking people over.

I did a one day guided meditation course from someone who knew what they were doing … it has helped me sleep well ever since and generally avoid burnout when I’m under serious stress.

Sounds like they need a while army of Caroline Lucases!

I suppose all the young and determined people are busy protesting or in jail.

Then why did they use the phrase “why isn’t this ringing alarm bells?” to describe the only leftist political party remaining in the UK?

The Guardian sells itself as a left-of-centre newspaper, yet they attacked Jeremy Corbin repeatedly, platformed the “gender critical” hate group, and now think that voting for the Greens is something that should be alarming.

They also market themselves as the only paper to actively cover environmental news …

Boys will be boys!

This article is shite, voting for the Greens in the UK is not some radical act. For many many years they’ve been the only progressive or humanist political party available.

Source: used to live in Sheffield back when they had good coverage of the Greens, before the tree wars.

Blahaj user and former Brit here … well done Ada for consistency and transparency regarding this.

The whole “let it play out” attitude really says it all, it shows cowardice and a lack of leadership … kind of like the current prime minister.

Can confirm. It’s nearly warm enough to break out my Capri jeans :-)

Should I feel bad that I like V?

Sad to say, but that’s a familiar story.

It’s great that you’re now making efforts to right that sort of wrong now!

Please give her a hug from me. And if you happen to get a chance to stab her supervisor … well, I’ll not say do it, because that would be illegal. But sometimes accidents happen …

Yeah, that’s the thing, the majority if guys are OK or better … it’s just there’s enough arseholes to hold women and minorities back when there’s no or unenforced DEI

It’s very hard to not be polite when that’s how you’re raised to be from day one :-/

They break up a lot quicker if you run over them with a mower, which can also spread out the bits leaving a tidier looking lawn, thus keeping the HOA happy (maybe)
