Ok let’s get real. If you had to chose between the two mustache boyfriends, which one would you pick?

Getting real? Steve. Because Steve is a one woman lifetime kind of guy and I am a one guy for a lifetime kind of woman. If I had to pick a hot affair or fwb situation it would be Javi. But if I am supposed to get real, then it's Steve all the way. :3

This is why:

Steve when sad:

Steve when you give up everything to follow him to another country:

Steve when you did something really brave but dangerous and he finds out you're okay:

Steve when he finds an orphaned baby:

Oh yeah and Steve's butt:

Is this man an absolute dumbass you'll have to tell to calm the fuck down about 5 times a day? Yes! But he's your dumbass 100%. :3

PS: I forgot Steve's absolutely smug-ass face when he gets your number. XD

PPS: I'm sorry Javi, baby. They made me choose! Otherwise I'd always go for mustache boyfriend sandwich. :3

One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

Far and Away / Nicole Kidman as Shannon Christie

This movie is set in the early 1890s, and we can see that the bustle of the 1880s has disappeared, while the large puffed sleeves haven't appeared yet. The "tassel" trim around the waist is a bit odd, as is the asymmetrical brown stripe down the side of the skirt, but I'll assume they're based on some kind of period example. I do like the draped epaulet effect at the shoulders, with the little tassels to finish it off, and the hat ties everything together nicely.

The designer for this movie was Joanna Johnston.

It’s seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing evening dress and heavy make-up, which is now smeared across her cheeks. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl, whose charred remains are later discovered in an abandoned quarry? The respectable Bantrys invite Miss Marple to solve the mystery… before tongues start to wag.

One of Miss Marple’s finest cases, here we see her at the height of her female intuition, an inconspicuous elderly lady who can investigate undetected. Several other detectives get involved in the case - almost as many as there are suspects. Of course, it is Miss Marple who will unveil the ultimate clue.The novel was first released in February 1942 in the US and later that year in the UK. There is a rare example of Agatha Christie name checking herself, via the voice of Peter Carmody, who claims to love detective fiction and has signed copies by Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers among others. The novel’s title was an in-joke between Agatha Christie and her character Ariadne Oliver, who reveals in Christie’s earlier work Cards on the Table, that she herself had written a crime novel titled The Body in the Library.

It was adapted for TV in 1984, starring Joan Hickson as Marple, her first appearance in what would become an acclaimed role for her. It was broadcast in three parts over the Christmas period of that year. 2004 saw a more radical adaptation, with Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple. It featured several well-known British actors, including Ian Richardson and Joanna Lumely. BBC Radio 4 dramatised the story in 2005, with June Whitfield reassuming her role as the radio Marple.

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

By: Andrew Doyle

Published: May 4, 2023

What happened to the art of disagreement? In 2017, I addressed this very question in my stand-up show, Thought Crimes, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. My main topic was the aftermath of the Brexit vote and how so many of my friends had developed a strange new determination to reduce all political disputes to a matter of good vs evil, with those who voted to leave the EU falling firmly in the latter camp. I felt there was something inherently amusing about this sudden surge of mass infantilism.

I performed the show every evening during the fringe at The Stand comedy club, and I very much enjoyed working with such a pleasant and professional team. I remember, on one occasion, chatting to a member of staff who completely disagreed with my political views. The conversation was stimulating and, above all, amiable. Had I suggested at the time that, just a few years later, a show at this same venue would be cancelled because members of staff found the opinions of those involved offensive, she would have laughed. I’m confident that nobody at The Stand, either performers or staff, would have considered this a remote possibility. Surely it would be absurd for a comedy club, of all places, to reject the principle of free speech?

Yet this is precisely what happened this week when The Stand cancelled the booking of SNP politician Joanna Cherry, who had been scheduled to appear as part of the club’s ‘In Conversation With’ series. Cherry is a lesbian who campaigned against Section 28, and has recently been vocal about the threat to women’s rights and single-sex spaces posed by the rise of gender-identity ideology. This is her thoughtcrime.

If I were keeping a tally of Things I Never Thought Would Happen, it would by now have grown too long to maintain. When I performed that show in 2017, I had assumed that I was observing a momentary glitch, and that within the year everyone would be shaking their heads and laughing about their brief bout of hysteria. I was wrong. The insane tribalism of the Brexit vote was merely a symptom of a much more worrying trend, and we have since allowed ourselves to descend into a Manichean world of angels and devils.

My book, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World, is my attempt to grapple with this disturbing new reality. A new paperback edition has been published this week, and I had hoped that by this point, it would already have started to seem out of date. In truth, the problems I describe in the book are accelerating. Novels by Roald Dahl, PG Wodehouse and Agatha Christie have since been rewritten by ‘sensitivity readers’ (newspeak for ‘censors’). The Irish government is currently passing new hate-speech laws that are similarly draconian to those passed by the Scottish government in 2021. Prestigious scientific journals are publishing pseudoscience in order to uphold this new ideology, too. Only this week the Scientific American ran a piece entitled ‘Here’s why human sex is not binary’, illustrated with an image of the male and female gametes that prove that it is.

It’s difficult to keep up with these baffling developments. Most of us have noticed the rise of this new ideology that is now dominant in all of our major cultural, educational, political and corporate institutions. We can see that its impact is divisive, regressive and illiberal, and yet it describes itself using progressive-sounding terminology, such as ‘social justice’, ‘anti-racism’ and ‘equity’. When language becomes unmoored from meaning, we are all at risk of mistaking change for progress.

We have seen that the disciples of this new religion are pushing for more and more censorship, whether that be through the cancellation of comedians, the deletion of potentially offensive scenes in old television shows, or stronger ‘hate speech’ laws. We have seen women physically assaulted for standing up for their sex-based rights. We have seen how anyone who questions the new orthodoxies jeopardises their career prospects and risks being publicly shamed. The existence of what we now call ‘cancel culture’ is often denied by those who indulge in it the most, but its list of casualties expands by the day.

Those of us who are taking a stand against these cultural revolutionaries are often told that we should just ignore them. Who cares if a few zealots are demanding that we attend ‘unconscious bias’ training sessions? Who cares if civil servants and teachers and staff at the BBC are being encouraged to announce their pronouns in emails and at the beginning of meetings? Who cares if the Ministry of Defence is holding LGBTQIA+ coffee mornings to discuss pansexuality? If we let them get on with it, the logic goes, all of this will just go away.

But this is very wrong. If we ignore these developments, the culture warriors won’t fade away – they’ll win. These activists are promoting an authoritarian creed, and are doing untold damage to our world, while believing they are making it better. If your toddler starts smashing up the crockery, you don’t just politely wait for it to finish. Sometimes you have to intervene in order to prevent further damage.

I wrote The New Puritans in the hope that the book would become obsolete. Judging from recent events, this won’t be happening any time soon.

every time i reread Agatha Christie's The Moving Finger, I'm delighted all over again that the heroine is autistic

the word is never used of course - this book came out the same decade as the first ever medical references to what we now know as autism (obviously autism is as old as humans, I just mean when the word was first used to describe the neurotype) - and the portrayal certainly isn't perfect (although the elements of infantilisation have a lot more to do with what romance stories looked like in the 40s than with Megan being neurodivergent, at least imo) but it's also one of the very few examples i can think of of a very clearly neurodivergent woman hero in fiction of the era (or any era, honestly)

I even love the makeover sequence, although I could absolutely see good reasons to hate it, mostly because Megan clearly admires the way Joanna dresses, and Jerry does actually take the time to ask whether Megan chooses unfashionable clothes because she prefers them, or just because she hasn't had the chance to buy other things, which takes some of the sting out of the 'cool weird girl gets conventionally attractive makeover' trope.

I just love Megan as a character so much, and I love that Miss Marple, one of my favourite fictional characters ever, immediately sees Megan's brains and courage and treats her like an intelligent adult instead of being hung up on her differences the way a lot of other characters are. she even gently tells off megan's love interest, the main character of the book, for not having enough faith in her! to me it feels like both an acknoledgement that a lot of things in life are just more difficult for neurodivergent people, and also that people who look down on or infantilise neurodivergent people are unequivocally wrong, and i fucking love that that's present in a book from 1942 from one of my favourite authors.
