Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It’ll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they’ll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields… and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries? Frodo: No, Sam. I can’t recall the taste...

Tomorrow I am going to turn the internet off for a WHOLE DAY. It will be entertaining for anyone who sees me tearing my hair out in a gutter

clambistro replied to your chat: THE POINT AT WHICH MEN TOLD TAKE BACK THE NIGHT THEY SHOULD NO LONGER VOICE DEMANDS
What I don’t get about dudes wanting TBTN to let them attend is that there are other events that men can take part in? Like, go to one of them and be a good ally and stop trying to invade safe spaces?

If you can’t afford to pay for women’s labor, don’t go to a strip club.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A+++++ WOULD REBLOG AGAIN
When I was a grid girl, nights would often end up at strip joints. Motorsports events tended to mean a massive influx of drunken, tight-arse dickwads, who we’d spend the daylight hours dealing with at the track. We’d then make a point of going to the strip...

Andrea writes for a newspaper. ‘This is for the Living section,’ she says. I know what that means, it used to be the Women’s Pages. It’s funny that they now call it Living, as if only women are alive and other things, such as the Sports, are for the dead. ‘Living, eh?’ I say. ‘I’m the mother…

Excitements
Due to an adrenaline-related moment of “hurrrr” when the interviewer said “Your visa has been approved”, I didn’t ask how long it was for and had to wait until they posted it to me.
