There's got to be a special place in hell for women who volunteer for this job. The article says not many are signing up without coercion, but this one in particular can go fuck herself.
"I am proud to be helping the brothers implement the new rules, women initially thought our brothers were joking, but now everything is law and passed by Amir al-Mu’minin,” she says, referring to the Taliban’s supreme leader. “I have a holy duty.”

Some jobs are supposed to be a calling, not a paycheck. This is one of them.

Boring domestic post.
I'm thinking about getting a food dehydrator. I eat a lot of dried fruit (medication makes me very hungry for sweet things, and I'm trying to stay away from the biscuits!) Also interested in making my own garlic/onion powder and maybe drying herbs, but will be mostly using it for fruit. If you have one, or have used one, is there a particular model you'd recommend or any features I ought to be looking out for?

Afghans are very pretty until you get them wet. Then they are terrifying.
Seriously, tell me you wouldn't shit yourself if you saw this running towards you for some head pats!

I haven't seen anything posted here about that superyacht that sunk of the coast of Sicily this week. Is anyone here following the story?
Just read that one of the dead was recently acquitted in a BIG fraud case. And if that wasn't suspicious enough, his co-accused was apparently killed in an unrelated tragic accident a couple of weeks ago. If this happened in fiction, it would be too far fetched...

Yeah, that's what stops me, too. I've had to take more than one MH break from Spinster, and from what I've heard, Twitter would be much, much worse!

I'm not on twitter, but I'm almost tempted to join just for this. Minge The Merciless is a great name!

Oh dear. I tried to translate that in my head before clicking the translate button, and got it very badly wrong. It does not say 'The chicken of confrontation with some flowers in a jug'
Lovely picture. The colours of the flowers look really nice together.

Ha! Billy Bragg bribing Spotify to make terfs listen to his music and change our evil ways!
Listen, Bill, You didn't persuade anyone to vote labour in the 80s, and you're not going to persuade anyone to kneel before the rainbow flag now!

My Spotify recommended list keeps trying to make me listen to Billy Bragg! 😵 WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT?!?

Ever wondered what Vogon smut would look like?
No, me neither, but now we know!

I've just remembered the last time I had to deal with a bloke like this. He had form for being a knobhead, especially when drunk, and I'd called him out on it more than once. But he was also friends with my best mate's BF, so I was generally just polite enough to not cause drama. If he'd had two braincells to rub together, he'd have figured out that I would never in a million years sleep with him.
He asked me out. Actually, he asked me if I wanted to go for a night out with best mate, best mate's BF and a few others, so I assumed it was a social invitation, not a date. So I said yes. And he said, "I was so nervous about asking you, It's been a while since I asked anyone on a date." And I noped the fuck out of there so fucking fast! I did get a little criticism afterwards for being harsh, but he got the message and left me alone. Sometimes anything less subtle than a brick in the face will be misinterpreted as potential interest. Also, he went to jail later for armed robbery, so fuck him!
This all got very long and rambly. Sorry. The point I was trying to make is that you can't rely on men to pick up subtle cues, and you should prepare yourself for the strong possibility that this man will not want to be your friend anymore once he realises you aren't going to fuck him.

Why?
Men with complete androgen insensitivity would still be men. Womanhood is not a dumping ground for men who can't compete against the other men.

It's not just that he was black. It's mostly that he stabbed three innocent little girls at a dance class.
The police do not do a very good job when it comes to protecting white, working class communities, (Especially in the north, and especially the girls: Rotherham, Rochdale, Keighley...) but are quick to paint them as right wing and stupid when they get angry about it.
Obviously some of what happened yesterday was caused by racists latching onto these events to start trouble, but there's also a lot of justified frustration and rage.

I did a lot of searching last year, and I didn't find anything better than 50/50.
