I am absolutely disgusted to learn that crown owns our castles and the profits are sent to Westminster. Wales is struggling, our economy is struggling, our people are struggling, our health services are struggling, and that money could go to the betterment of our lives - instead it goes to England.

despite the fact we maintain the castles and land, we don't own them. they are in OUR country. ownership should belong to us, the people who built them. we maintain them. we work in them. theyre ours and we should be able to use the profits generated by them to help welsh people, not allow the money be funnelled into the monarchy.

the fact the crown owns so much of wales is such an outdated and medieval concept and has no place in modern society.

please sign. I am disgusted.

Honestly, because I had unprotected sex with one

Someone's fucking mom in this gym was demanding I leave the machine I was one. Kept asking if I'm just sitting there (while I'm using the machine) and how long I'll be (ma'am, I have a bad hip and just ran 2 miles. Fuck off). She tapped on my shoulder and said, "Ok, it's time to move, honey," so I pointed to an identical machine 10ft away and told her I'm staying for extra reps now. The second she got on the other machine, I moved. Get fucked.

I just got added to a group chat by a former colleague I haven't seen in 6 years. I get the feeling I'm about to be MLMed at.

There was a knock on my bedroom window (which is an upstairs window) and I was a bit worried because that shouldn't be a thing so I stood up to investigate and I don't know who got the bigger fright, me or the magpie.

So I've got this friend whose nervous because shes dating a guy and she hasn't told him shes trans yet. They've only been on a two dates. For this story let's call the friend Jane and the guy she was dating Jason. Happy ending don't worry.

I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having so she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful.

She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy.

So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction. She tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her, it's no big deal.

He's baffled. He's heard the word trans but thinks it means she spends half the year overseas. So Jane explains what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet he says:

"Oh you have a dick?"

"... yeah."

This guy look's around at the room full of people all holding their breath, at his girlfriend who is clearly frightened and says

"Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we'd grilled and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at everyone absolutely beaming with pride.

My mans saw his worried girlfriend and her support network all gathered around and thought to himself "Oh they don't think I can't please my girl, but I'll show them!"

The nature of having kuhli loaches is that sometimes a fish you assumed must have died like a year ago will suddenly re-emerge and you're like "It's you! Look how you've grown."

I had my appraisal with my manager today. It went really well and she even told me "If you ever fancy going downstairs for an hour to chat with the others*, feel free." Suddenly I don't feel so worried about the amount of time I spend reading ebooks on Project Gutenberg during my shift.

*my office is away from the rest of the team and I miss a lot of the banter.
