Margot Robbie didn’t even know Joe was dating thee taylor until ages, maybe even after filming wrapped? On MQOS so I personally find it very hard to believe he was bitching on set lol. I could imagine him maybe needing to take 5 or something and saying ‘sorry, going through some stuff’…. But I can only imagine that ~extreme reaction if it was only a minute after tatty 2.0 breaking lol. His whole thing is being chill, sometimes too chill for some people, and very professional. I can fully see him using words like cunt casually with his mates, but can’t imagine he’d be overheard saying it in his trailer or dressing room on the phone ever considering how Americans recoil at the word lol

Idk that was a long way to say I agree with you lol but from a pr perspective, if anything was “leaked”, true or false, it’d be better to play the narrative he was cheated on after being loyal and credited as “saving her” in 2016 - unless he had skeletons in his closet that would prove otherwise lol. It’s pretty remarkable the shit he DIDNT pull (not surprised considering what we know about him), but especially after the hate train when she got with matty, any hinting that she in fact cheated and allegedly ended it over email (probably a really long one too so imagine reading that lol) - like if Joe were more like Calvin, who reacted publicly, the shit storm would’ve been soooo messy

Cheers to Joe being classy, and smart for not putting his shit out there lol

I mean I don’t think he was broken up with over email because that’s another very weird rumor and the origins of that have never made sense to me because Patient Zero was a Swiftie who goes to NYU and while I have no doubt she is friendly with or shares friends with Patrick Alwyn I’m not even sure Patrick Alwyn himself has exact details on how that breakup went down lol and I can’t imagine he went around telling super random people what he *did* know. It just seems unlikely.

I agree though that had Joe wanted to cause a PR shitstorm he absolutely could’ve but like… he didn’t lol. He literally j chilled.

And again that’s PUBLICLY because I am almost certain he told his mates nasty shit about her and Matty - otherwise he's a Saint and I don’t think he is - and he may well have eye rolled about Travis. But his mates are very protective tbh? So I doubt they share those thoughts. And also I genuinely imagine they would be NASTY and there are almost definitely specific things he’s bitched about rightly or wrongly but what I cannot imagine is self burns even where both parties actually were to blame. Like an example I gave was I can imagine he bitched about her drinking but that would’ve then been about her drinking lol not “we drink together and we fight” yk? Joke is I can even imagine him bitching about the marriage thing from his end and saying they couldn’t because of the tour and what a bitch she is for always picking her career over their relationship because again everyone has their own version of what happens and people tend to see themselves as the hero and the other people as the ones to blame.

[stood-onthecliffside]

Tatty 2.0 sucks because now I can hear him in many places and she swirled him in very well.

she did swirl him veryyyyy well (but it is fascinitating to me how often people relate it to the muses when they are actively listening to her music because i either associate it with my blorbs/ personal experiences!). but it is a game of hide and seek especially with him in her songs (dare i say a very running theme of their 'relationship')

[whatiwillsay]

maylors move like late stage kaylors and in certain lights it makes sense but then its just too crazy to be real. if tatty 2.0 crash and burned when it was finally time for them to be together out in the open, how has he changed in the past year for her to be motivated to give it a second shot? they're crazy but also a guitar? really? thats all it took?

but maylors were RIGHT like maybe not now but last year they were

Twitter is not being kind to Sidharth Malhotra, Tara Sutaria’s Masakali 2.0: ‘Excuse me, I want to vomit’ - bollywood

Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria’s Masakali 2.0 may have recorded 450,000 views in just under three hours but it’s also getting brickbats in equal measures. Furious music lovers took to Twitter to vent about the song, which they feel has been butchered by T-series and the lot.

Masakali 2.0 is remake/remix of 2009 hit Masakali from Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi-6. While the original was composed by Oscar-winner AR Rahman, the new version is by Tanishk Bagchi, Bollywood’s go to producer for remixes. The new video introduced shallow new lyrics, club beats and a cringeworthy video that kills the earthy, light and eclectic vibe of Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor’s song.

Twitter was feeling all the rage on listening to the song and decided to vent it with hilarious memes. One used a picture of Amitabh Bachchan’s Thakur Bhanu Pratap Singh from Sooryavansham vomiting blood after eating the poisonous kheer. “Me after listening to #Masakali2,” read the tweet. “#Masakali2 Disaster song of year SidMalhotra @TSeries stop all this crap now,” read another tweet. Check out the best reactions:

Playback singer Tulsi Kumar, who has sung the new version, says that if song recreations are handled well and done beautifully, there is no harm. “Each to their own. I think music is a very subjective topic, maybe I can like something that the other person cannot. Personally, I feel recreations get a lot of spite, but they’re also heard in large numbers. If a recreation is handled correctly and if it is done beautifully, I don’t think there’s any harm. A lot of creativity goes into making a recreation,” she said in an interview to IANS.

Canada Goose Taps 18 Inuit Designers to Design Bespoke Parkas For Project Atigi 2.0

Following huge success in 2019, Canadian outerwear brand Canada Goose is bringing its wildly popular Project Atigi collaboration back for a second year.

The word “Atigi” comes from the Inuktitut language and means “parka” in English.

In 2020, the brand has teamed up with 18 Inuit designers from four Inuit regions in the country – Inuvialuit, Nunatsiavut, Nunavut and Nunavik – to create a custom capsule collection of 90 parkas. Each of the designs has been made using traditional skills and design techniques combined with Canada Goose’s premium fabrics. Proceeds from the sales of the jackets are being donated back to the Inuit communities through Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the national Inuit representational organization that works to promote health, wellbeing and prosperity across the Inuit regions.

In a release, the brand describes the women behind the parka designs, saying: “The designers of Project Atigi are mothers and grandmothers, nurses and teachers, office workers and small business owners – but when they pick up a needle and thread, they become something else: designers.” It goes on to explain how each of the 18 women were sent kits which includes the brand’s Arctic Tech fabric, fur for trimming, and zippers and lining. They were tasked with designing a capsule collection of five gender-neutral pieces representative of their culture and artisanship. From there, it was entirely up to each woman how she chose to use those elements in her designs, and what the final pieces would look like.

Alaana Tatty is one of this year’s designers, and is also the founder of a parka making school at her local community centre in Rankin Inlet, Nunavet. On designing for Canada Goose, she says, “Knowing someone out there, around the world. will own one of my parks makes me nervous – and excited. I think I’ll feel so proud.” For Olivia Tagalik, also from Nunavet, the design needed to be practical for the winters here in the North. “We’re alwasy going out, either driving or on a Ski-Doo or an ATV. Or we’re at the arena for hours, watching hockey. That’s why the back is cut longer so you’ve got something warm when you’re sitting.”

The skills these women possess have been passed down through generations before them, making them incredibly valuable and important to protect. “It’s each of our responsibility to learn as much as we can to ensure that it’s passed down to the next generation,” says Tagalik. Lisa-Louie Ittukallak from Puvirnituq, Quebec, agrees. “Keeping up our traditions is important to me because it’s very beautiful,” she says.

its not a secret that they broke up at least once before the final breakup tho? in the press release it was emphasized that theyd had rough patches before and always got back together, even their friends expected them to be okay! what do you think “hits different” is about? imgonnagetyouback is very likely a joe song, idc about the style of the title

no lol because rough patches (which they obviously did have) /=/ breakups? Like at all? They are two disparate concepts? And yes ofc the press release emphasized they had rough patches (which again obviously they’d had, in fact Taylor has been SINGING about rough patches since Rep) because Tree knew she’d have to be introducing Matty sooner rather than later and she needed a palatable timeline lol for that whole thing? Especially since Taylor had left Tree with egg on HER face since she’d been saying Joe is planning to go to Eras like a week or two before that? But then Taylor chose to disclose like EXACTLY what all happened anyway and some of you are choosing to… not believe her ig?

WHEN could they have had breakups that necessitated breakup songs? They were literally always together? I mean like… let’s say they even had mini breaks right - let me project because I had one of those this year lol I had like a weeklong “break” where we weren’t broken up but we were not together and yes that anyone could have and not have it known about publicly like yes it was a break but also it was very short and could be classified as more of a rough patch if we want to classify it as such idk - how would a song like imgonnagetyouback fit with that? If you want a song about rough patches with Joe, Hits Different is right there. Why would she be deciding whether or not to take her live in partner (who she’s not even sure she wants to be with anymore but that’s a separate thing) back to “her” house lmao like guys plz be for fucking real for one minute. Nevermind the fact that it references leaving a house party (also a thing in Question). Nevermind the stylization which you chose to ignore. Nevermind the fact that it references a car accident (which we know Matty had soon after the breakup). Nevermind the whole reset button thing and the very nature of Tatty 2.0 being a reset. Like how on earth are you possibly connecting this song to Joe? I don’t understand. Next thing we’ll be back to Joe having a tattooed dick and a sekrit heroin addiction lmao and saying “oh he wears suits too” for the Jehovah’s Witness suit line which like yes I suppose basically every man alive wears suits sometimes but there’s one who is very famous for wearing Jehovah’s Witness style suits every night on stage, being covered in tattoos, and being addicted to smack. And Taylor dated that one. Twice.

I have to admit to being a car and motoring tragic for all my (thankfully) quite long life.

In fact, my late mother always said that after I had mastered “mum” and “dad” my next words were “red car.”

One of the benefits of this motoring passion is that I’ve been fortunate to own and enjoy some interesting cars.

Those that especially come to mind when I look back on my more than five decades behind the wheel are my first car – an original Mini – an XM Falcon Futura hardtop, an HK GTS V8 Monaro, an Alfasud Ti, Ford Capri 3000 GT, BMW 633 CSI, Porsche 928S and my current toy – a Nissan 350Z roadster.

Gazumping all of those – certainly in terms of exotic rarity – was my 1959 MG A Twin Cam roadster.

At the time of its acquisition, I was a very young journalist on the Launceston Examiner and as well as doing police rounds and courts and some sport, I was extremely fortunate that the Editor, the late F G N “Goodie” Ewence – added motoring to my responsibilities.

Until the arrival at the Examiner of young Crawford, as well as running the paper “Goodie”, in the absence of anyone else who knew anything about cars and motoring, had been doing the motoring section himself.

Mr Ewence was a serious motoring enthusiast and in fact drove to work each day in a somewhat tatty Triumph TR 2.

He was also one of the driving forces behind the wonderful Tasman Series races held at the equally wonderful but long-since defunct Longford road circuit.

I had seen a white MG A roadster driving around town on a few occasions and wondered why it had steel disc wheels with knock-offs.

I soon discovered that it was Tasmania’s only Twin Cam and that it was in fact for sale.

One drive and I knew I had to have it, so the little Mini 850 with the twin carbs and noisy exhaust was traded and the MG was mine.

To find out more about the Twin Cam and its history in Australia, I discovered some years ago the Australian MG A Twin Cam Register that is run by Melbourne enthusiast Bob Somerville.

He says that 75 Twin Cams were sold new in Australia and another five were imported in the period before 1965.

Another 23 were imported in the 1990s and eight were exported.

Bob says that of Australia’s original 80 cars, 18 are lost – sadly, including mine.

He says that while I supplied him with the photo that’s with this story, I no longer had engine and chassis numbers so tracing it all these years later was virtually impossible.

Bob did, however, float the theory that the car might have been bought by a father for a son who subsequently wrecked it.

In all, the register says 1788 Twin Cam roadsters were produced between 1958 and 1960, as well as a much smaller number of coupes.

The car’s engine was based on the Morris B-series motor and was modified to run an aluminium cross-flow head and the twin-cam set-up.

The engine was fitted with 1 3/4-inch SU carbies and a fuel-consumption figure of 10.2L/100km was claimed.

The 1588cc engine was good for 80.5kW at 6700rpm and 142Nm that was on tap at 4500rpm – modest figures by today’s performance-car standards – but pretty spirited back then.

The engine was mated with a four-speed gearbox that came without synchromesh on first.

Other features that set the Twin Cam apart from the “mere-mortal” MG As were the aforementioned Dunlop steel wheels (like the ones Jaguar ran on D-Types) with knock-off central locking and 11-inch un-boosted disc brakes.

The only other way you could pick a Twin Cam was it if had three “Twin Cam” badges – one atop each front guard near the air vents plus another on the boot lid.

Road tests at the time gave the car a top-speed of 185km/h and sprint time to 100km/h of 9.1 seconds.

Twin Cams have done a lot of racing over the years and in fact a coupe, driven by British drivers Ted Lund and Colin Escott was 12th overall and first in the 2.0-litre class at the 1960 Le Mans 24-hour classic.

In terms of my time with the Twin Cam, after a couple of years of enjoyable (and much too rapid) motoring, the engine ran a big-end bearing and developed the associated unhealthy-sounding rattle from the bottom end.

Before this happened, I had become conditioned by the engine’s propensity to oil up plugs.

To manage this problem, I kept a small sugar-bag containing a plug socket and about 20 spark plugs in the boot.

After the bearing went, a mate of mine at the time, who was much better with a spanner than I, generously offered to help me do a full engine recondition.

Another mate had an empty garage behind his shop and that’s where all the work was undertaken.

The engine was removed and pulled down, the block was sent to the then Repco Bearing Company plant to have the bore honed, the crankshaft ground and new big-end and main bearings were ordered.

Once the block came back with Repco’s bore measurements, pistons were sourced from the UK, flown out and the engine rebuilt.

The alloy rocker covers and the SU “bells” were all polished and the engine looked a million dollars.

For something like 1500km I carefully ran the engine in before changing the oil and giving the car a serious high-speed run down the beautiful road on the western side of the Tamar River.

It was in fact the day this photograph was taken and I was travelling with a newspaper photographer colleague to cover a story.

On the way back there was a nasty noise from the engine, a lot of smoke and a serious loss of power.

After limping back to Launceston, I gave my mechanic mate the bad news and remarkably, he again helped me rebuild the engine.

What we found was that Repco had given us an incorrect reading of the bore size and we had fitted under-sized pistons.

Not only that, they had not cleaned out the oil ducts in the crank shaft and our beautiful new bearings were badly scored.

Needless to say they blamed us for not checking everything.

They were probably right but my mate and I were not happy. In my case, heartbroken would not be over-stating it.

Another month or so with he and my then girlfriend (now wife) working into the early hours of the morning and the engine was again like new.

A week or so after we had the car back on the road, Tasmania’s first Falcon XM hardtop – a top-spec pale metallic-blue Futura – arrived in the local Ford dealer’s showroom.

Back then – and still today for that matter – it was a seriously sexy car and I decided that it had to be mine.

I just couldn’t face the prospect of another engine rebuild – and I was heartily sick of forever changing plugs.

The upshot was that I traded the Twin Cam on the Futura and received the princely sum of 1000 quid for the car.

Needless to say I shuddered when, in February 2017, Shannons sold a Twin Cam Roadster just like mine for $85,000 (except it had red leather where mine had black).

So that’s the story of my Twin Cam. It was to a degree a love/hate relationship, but I still remember the good times and the great drives.

But there’s a remarkable sequel to the story and it’s one of the spookiest experiences of my life.

About 10 years ago during my time as motoring editor of the Canberra Times I was in Hobart on a Mini media launch.

We travelled about 20 minutes by bus from our city hotel to a winery restaurant for dinner.

Unbeknown to us, the PR people had arranged for around 20 members of the Hobart Mini club to chauffeur us, one to a car, back to the hotel after dinner.

We were told to choose a car and head off with its driver.

It was a delightful touch.

Jumping into a Cooper S fitted with a huge Weber carby, I introduced myself to the driver – a great bloke a few years younger than me.

He asked me who I wrote for and I explained it was the Canberra Times, although I did it out of Melbourne.

I explained that actually, I had started writing about cars some 40 years earlier when I was a kid on the Examiner.

He immediately and with some excitement said: “ You used to have an exotic sports car – a white MG A Twin Cam with black leather.”

I was flabbergasted.

Of the 20 Minis I had to choose from, I chose this one with this bloke at the wheel.

He explained that he used to see the car parked outside the newspaper office and how he often used to hear it go past his school, and how much he loved its exhaust note.

To finish off the story, my new Mini-driving mate told me he had actually driven in the car.

This came about because one of the Ford dealer’s salesmen lived in the same street and he had brought the car home one day and took the then schoolboy for a ride.

As they say, it’s a small world.

Looking back, there’s no doubt the Twin Cam – even in the often cold Tasmanian weather – instilled in me a love of top-down motoring.

This was confirmed three years ago when I bought a Mazda MX-5 roadster I found for sale outside a nearby house.

My wife and I loved going for top-down drives in the little Mazda but it was just a tad small for me.

We now have a Nissan 350z roadster and wind-in-the hair motoring (not that I have much these days) is still very much a part of our lives.

And it all started with the Twin Cam.

Spooky tale of Tassie sportster I have to admit to being a car and motoring tragic for all my (thankfully) quite long life.

The Perils and Pleasures of Bartending in Antarctica

At the South Pole, the freezer is just a hole in the wall to the ice outside.

When Philip Broughton boarded a flight to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 2002, he didn’t intend to become an Antarctic bartender. Following a terrible day at work, he had decided to get away, and, after a Google search and a two-year application process, he found himself on an American research station in Antarctica, working as a cryogenics and science technician for a year and a day.

A few weeks after his arrival in the summer of 2002, Broughton walked into the local watering hole, Club 90 South. “The only seat left was the one behind the bar,” Broughton says of his initiation into the pantheon of South Pole bartenders.

Broughton sat behind the bar and put his feet up against the beer case. Inevitably, someone asked for a beer. Glaring, Broughton handed one over. “Don’t get used to that,” he said.

But then someone asked if he knew how to mix anything. Which, thanks to a Playboy cocktail guide, he did. Using his own stash of Angostura bitters, he whipped up a Manhattan.

“And there I stayed for the rest of the year,” Broughton recalls.

Explorers have always packed booze. Ferdinand Magellan never sailed without wine and sherry. During the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, Sir Ernest Shackleton stocked his ships with whisky to fight off the cold and endure voyages that could last more than three years.

Just as it was with Antarctica’s first visitors, so it is with its current residents. Every year, thousands of scientists, researchers, station staff, and even artists descend on Antarctica’s 45 research bases to live and work at the end of the world. (There are even more research stations if you include stations staffed only for the summer.) But those thousands winnow down to a persistent and hardy several hundred during the six nearly sunless winter months. (Once summer ends, planes and ships can rarely reach Antarctica due to storms and sub-zero temperatures that freeze fuel.) Their only external contact is through phones and the Internet. So the “winter-overs” come prepared … with heaps of alcohol.

Club 90 South was one of the many bars that serviced Antarctic research stations during Broughton’s winter on the continent. Broughton says that almost each of the 45 stations has a bar.

After stepping inside from temperatures that reached -100 degrees Fahrenheit, says Broughton, Club 90 South felt like a portal back to the real world. Constructed by the Navy “Seabees” Construction Crew out of building and shipping scraps, the cozy space had the warm, smoky atmosphere of harbor-side barrooms, with chairs, couches, and a classic wooden bar scattered around a low-ceiled room.

Over the bar, empty Crown Royal bags (the drink of choice at Club 90 South) hung from strings of Christmas lights like bulbous, satin ornaments. The freezer was a hole in the wall to the frigid snow and ice outside. Entertainment consisted of poker tournaments, watching TV, listening to music, reading left-behind books, talking with family and friends back home, and experiencing the station tradition of stripping naked (except for shoes) and running from the station sauna to the South Pole marker.

No one owned Club 90 South, and no one paid. Instead, people shared supplies they brought from home (as part of the allocated 125 pounds of luggage per person) or bought from the station store. Bartenders did not earn salaries—only kudos. Broughton started tending bar Fridays and Saturdays, and soon he spent most nights after dinner mixing cocktails and pouring a “disturbing number” of Prairie Fire shots, which Broughton made with tabasco and tequila. He served absinthes from the astrophysics team, Black Seal rum from a Bermudan at McMurdo Base, and Bundaberg rum from an Australian. Mixing his research job with his side hustle, Broughton made cocktails using liquid nitrogen, bringing the haute cuisine trend of molecular mixology to the bottom of the world.

The best (and worst) part? No official last call.

Club 90 South, with its homey, pool-room decor and casual atmosphere, became a lifeline for many barflys. In a place of near-eternal darkness that lacked restaurants and movie theaters, it doubled as a station “melting pot.” The bar “bridged the gap between the ‘beakers’ and ‘support,’” says Broughton, referring to researchers on National Science Foundation grants and contractors who operated and built the stations.

“A few months in, everyone in the bar knew everyone’s stories,” he adds.

But it wasn’t all cryogenic cocktails and sharing news from home. During the long months on a barren, isolated ice cap, drinking was often the only escape from the cold and monotony.

It’s an understandable reaction. Sink into a smooth glass of a favorite liqueur, and the cold bites a little less. The distance from loved ones feels more manageable. The time until the flight home, just a bit shorter. Some people drank to make the days go by faster. Regulars used pickaxes to clean frozen vomit off the ice outside Club 90 South.

Alcoholism can be a big issue in Antarctica. While there are no official statistics, some stations held Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and the hearsay was troubling enough that in 2015, the Office of the Inspector General audited several American stations. Due to reports of drunkenness on the job and alcohol-fueled fights, the National Science Foundation, which supports and operates U.S. scientific interests on the continent, is considering mandatory breathalyzer tests.

But Broughton says the honor system and communal atmosphere at Club 90 South helped prevent the affliction.

“It got people to drink together, rather than alone in their rooms,” says Broughton. “While you might drink more than normal with good company, that is still healthier than unchecked drinking alone, as good company might also slow you down.”

Broughton says he swapped out soda for booze when people drank too much, and he preferred to serve people so they could pass out in the bar, instead of watching them stumble out the door where, completely inebriated, they could hurt themselves or pass out in the snow.

After Broughton left the research station in 2003, Club 90 South closed during an effort to modernize Amundsen-Scott. But the legacy endures at other station bars, including Gallagher’s Pub, Southern Exposure, and the Tatty Flag. Broughton, meanwhile, is working as a radiation safety specialist at UC Berkeley, and he credits his time in Antarctica with his newfound interest in alcohol history and his appreciation for good, high-quality booze.

“I learned that if I’m going to consume alcohol, I’d better actually enjoy what I’m putting in my mouth,” he says. “Enjoyment is more than mere flavor.”

And would he go back?

“I would happily return for another winter” if my fiancée could come along, Broughton says. “I dream of Antarctica most every night. It is a haunting place.”

The Miracle of Birth Version 2.0

~Tatti   Ducett had scheduled her labor to begin within a half an hour. This  was  her first Daughter, named Parvati, and she was nervous.  

But  Murphy,  her own Womb Mother, and Lalanna, her lover, Partner and Seed  Mother of  this child, were attending as her Midwives. Together they had  saged and  Blessed the Birthing Chamber, invoking various Birthing  Goddesses;  Hathor, Ilithyia, Meskhent, Tlazolteotl, Ajysyt,  Pi-hsia-yuan-chun, Nintur, and of course, Isis and Artemis.  

The   Birthing Pool was running at correct temperature, seventy eight   degrees, its water pure and filtered. All close family who were on world   or in near Earth space had gathered, except for Selena, her Seed   Mother, who was supervising a mining operation out in the Asteroid Belt,   but had sent a very loving vid.  

Tatti's  physiocomp softly 'chimed'  in her head. It was time. She was linked to  all present, so they heard   that too. Murphy and Lalanna took off her  thin white chemise, guided her  down the steps into the Birthing Pool.  When she was hip deep, they each  grasped one of her breasts, gently  squeezing spurts of milk into the  swirling water as a final Blessing.  

Tatti  slipped  herself between the padded armrests and relaxed against the  Pool's  wall. She then focused on Parvati, her daughter stirring within  her womb  in anticipation. Tatti had spent ten and half months  monitoring and  shaping her child, guiding nanites here and there. In  the last two  months basic verbal communication had become possible,  though Parvati  herself could still only send feelings.

Tatti  smiled  at all gathered, kissed Murphy and Lalanna. “I'm ready,” she  said, took a  deep breath, and sent the Birthing Command to her  physiocomp. The first thing it did was flood her with endorphins. Then it blocked  most,  though not all, pain sensation in her lower body. It would  monitor all  body functions, which both Murphy and Lalanna would follow  via link. Tatti knew she'd be sore later, but that mattered not in this  moment.

She  was  semi-delirious as her brain swam in pleasure inducing hormones. She  gathered what focus she could and talked to Parvati, who was also bathed in her mother's endorphins, dampening any fear she had.

The physiocomp handled all the 'heavy lifting'; regulating  contractions,  dilating the cervix, and the 'push-push-push'. All Tatti  had to do was  guide Parvati down and out.

Parvati  'crowned' within five minutes and then popped out into the water in   seconds. It gave her a slight shock as it was twenty degrees cooler than   her mother's womb, but that sharpened her senses and she bobbed about   below the surface, blinking her eyes open.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of nanites rushed into Tatti's womb and birth canal, repairing damaged tissues and breaking down the placenta for   reabsorbtion or excretion, all guided by her physiocomp.  

Lalanna submerged and took hold of Parvati, lifting her to the surface. She  spat  and coughed a bit, making faces as Lalanna wiped off the afterbirth. She then looked directly at her mother for the first time, smiled and  mumbled, “Tatti.”

Everyone  laughed with joy. Lalanna handed  Parvati to Tatti, where the child  latched quickly onto a nipple and  began to suckle. Her mother sighed  deeply, as did everyone else. All  present murmured, “Blessed Be.”

After a moment, Parvati mumbled, “Bessibee,” around her mother's nipple. And The  Sisterhood grew that much stronger.

You are not alone...

Describe any life trauma to your doctor and they will react with the appropriate level of sympathy and guidance. Tell them you’re heartbroken and you will feel that subtle change and quiet judgement as you can’t shake the feeling that they believe you are wasting their time... 

When I was 15 I created a ‘Break Up’ book. A creation whose sole purpose was to help the fellow heartbroken people around me get through their trauma as healthily as good as by losing as little dignity as possible. It circulated around the girls in my year, each signing their name on the back as a pledge that the book had helped them and that they had come out of the other side, until eventually I needed its services again. This traced a regular pattern over the following years as I weaved my way in and out of love and heartbreak. Here I am 8 years later and I have tried and tested methods, amazed myself, ashamed myself, learnt and grown and discovered that there are so many approaches to this universal feeling.

The original book is a little tatty and falling apart. So why not share it all here? Why not try and share what I have learnt from my experiences as well as the amazing women around me. 

Welcome to the Break Up book 2.0
