Feminist Pub XX - may the summer rains wash the patriarchy down the plughole

[NoTechnologicalBreakdown]

Ooh ooh! Do I get to start it?

Wine and cake all round. And a celebratory burst on the patriarchy-blasting cannon!

Old pub here

I had one glass of wine last night.

No hangover here, either. The people who I was with respected my choices to drink imbibe at my discretion. I like these people even though they drive me nuts sometimes.

Today it is raining here.

drink imbibe? I meant one or the other. Take your pick.

Thank you myown and Tei

I think we've got another MRA trawling for attention and possibly wank fodder today. Suggest ignoring, though I made the mistake of engaging with it on the patriarchy thread before I twigged.

They're SO tiresome. And yet always so convinced that they're INTERESTING and RIGHT and the first men ever to be so CLEVER and INCISIVE. Wankbadgers.

I feel like I have chopped down the whole garden, but in fact I've only done a little corner... WIBU to go and employ a proper gardener?

NeverEverAnythingEver WIBU to go and employ a proper gardener?

Can you afford to employ a gardner? If so, then go right ahead, YANBU at all.

Aah, Friday.

Hello everybody. I am drinking a nutritious and comforting beverage today.

Can I offer anybody else a drink?

I'm going to have a glass of wine while washing up.

I haven't had any luck finding a gardener ...

I'm on the gin. Not sure feminism is doing me any favours today. I have the rage

Never I have heard it suggested that people who wish they had a garden get matched with people who have gardens that need to be gardened, a bit like Borrow My Doggy.

I like this idea.

Rage away, Felas, rage away. I wave my angry fist at the patriarchy.

That sounds like a great idea. I did hear once on the radio about this farmer who goes and graze her sheep in people's garden as lawnmower...

Yes. In some areas, for example urban areas where few properties have their own garden, there is a real shortage of allotments and a long waiting list to get one. So I think that whilst the sheep might have a way to travel, the whole thing could be pulled off somehow.

Good morning all!

I still haven't had any luck finding a gardener. But I'm embracing the wilderness look and planted bulbs instead. It's finally rained and I think it might be time for grass seeds too. And we want a tub of bamboo...

But I need to do some work first!!!

Sounds lovely Never

I do not garden, as a rule, but I will water the pot plants, as long as I remember to do so.

I usually work somewhere with a lot of green space and outside space. Today I am working from an industrial estate. It is funny how I do not realize how much I value being able to look out of the window, until I am sat for hours in a windowless room.

BOOM!!!!

:-P

doe!

Last day before school. We'll do something ... But I also have lots of work to do ...

Zzz should go to bed

I got unreasonably protective of the board the other day after a poster said there is no proper feminism on MN any more because we don't discuss things like the gender pay gap. So I'm trying an ex pimento due to a topical news item. Let's see how many people actually want to discuss the gender pay gap 😁

Why the fuck does my autocorrect think ex pimento is more likely than experiment? It's an anti science backlash I tell you!

Jacquetta what have you been up to?

Back and forth across the country trying to combine family and work. Zzz!
