"Why don't more women want to do #HIGNFY?"
"Women are just too sensitive to do topical comedy. That must be it."
"It's the format, probably. Women can't keep up. That'll be why they turn the job down."
"Women just aren't wired for aggressive comedy. That's why they rarely present the show."
"Women just aren't as funny as men. That's the only possible reason."
Etc etc etc
I could keep going and actually screenshotting but I'm starting to feel physically ill.
Not unrelated: "How come so many girls seem to be experiencing eating disorders and dysphoria specifically around their breasts when they hit puberty?"

It's a real chin-scratcher, lads.

No idea if that will work with quote tweets.

According to this article, library staff aren't "ordinary people" if we get paid.
There is a lot more to running a library than organising book stock, especially when a library is linked with the local council. It's just not viable to have volunteers who are also privvy to the sheer amount of personal information that library staff access.
Additionally, we are all required to have up-to-date criminal record checks and checks to ensure we are fit to work with children and vulnerable people.

A library is more than a community service, it's a gateway to education, benefits and council services.

Here's a lesson in marketing from back in the internet 1.0 days for you younguns who thought viral marketing only ever existed online.
Back in my edgy preteen years, I spent a lot of time (I mean a LOT of time, for someone with an early broadband net connection) on Nine Inch Nails boards.

Message boards were an early version of forums. Forums were an early version of subreddits, essentially.
Except that no one big network owned any of the boards. They were run by fans of specific things (in my case, the band Nine Inch Nails), usually from a server in their basement. They used basic BBML formatting (google it) and LARGE IMAGES IN SIGNATURES ARE A BANNABLE OFFENCE.

Here's another reason why people who claim work is only helpful to disabled people haven't got a clue what they're talking about: DNAs.
DNA stands for Did Not Attend. If you miss an appointment at the CMHT, or with a psychologist, you are officially a DNA.

It varies from area to area, but as little as one DNA can result in you automatically being discharged from your community mental health team.
I'm practice, what this means is that any mental health service user is TERRIFIED of missing an appointment and with good reason.

I see so much of myself in Mhairi Black, down to the accent. It's incredible to hear someone who talks like you in Westminster. Even moreso when they speak truth and sense in a place that very rarely promotes either.
Interestingly, any time I post about Mhairi Black it'll be a few minutes before some man, some random wee gammon boy, gives me his opinion on her looks, her accent or his offence at her claiming to be equal to any man at Westminster.
Women like her, like me, are too queer, too ugly, too Scottish, too working class, too butch, too wee to have any claim to equality. We're out of out league just commenting on the big boys. We're a joke to them. It's constant background noise.

It's grating.

Here are some thoughts from someone who is currently classed as obese re: fat shaming and how to get people to lose weight.

First of all, this news story has been in my mind a lot.
Secondly, I'm going to talk about eating disorders, mental health generally, sexual assault and body image.

Still here? Okay.

Times in my life I have not been obese: all my life until around the age of 23 at which point I put on a LOT of weight.
Times in my life I have been underweight: whilst I was in the grips of a nasty eating disorder in my teenage years. I was not classed as underweight in terms of BMI but I was so skinny my periods remained irregular and I couldn't run the length of myself.
