I gen need help to understand. Why must front-of-house retail staff earn the same as backend warehouse staff? If sex discrimination is involved, surely that’s about recruitment practices and not wages. Again, I am gen asking: theguardian.com/business/202…

Next says it may close stores if £30m equal pay claim is upheld

Retailer says some shops may become unviable despite annual profits nearing £1bn amid international expansion

Out of NOWHERE this woman says “what a beautiful coat” I say “thank you, but it’s a shacket”. (Yeah yeah y’know it, she was talking about my dog.)

I submitted a location correction on Apple Maps! It was easy! I indicated where the cafe is really located and a day latter Maps notified me of acceptance. But the cafe was still wrong but now had a ‘tick’ icon. I clicked the tick. Readers, the cafe disappeared 😩

Had to look up a word (thank you, Will Self). How does anyone, ever, learn the word ‘sacerdotal’? How? When? I have a religious background and have read some books but… 1/2

I really think i can hear a distant foghorn every ten seconds. We’ve had a sea fret for days, so it’s … possible I guess. ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ But how loud must it be to be near it? What else could it be?

“It’s the game, just play the game and you’ll get what you want.” – my mate to me. I can’t because the process is important to me and I have an acute sense of fairness. (I know it comes across as stubbornness and pride, but boy has life humbled me enough.)

Watching Speak No Evil and ready for some rural horror. But I’m 52 minutes in and the true and terrible horror is all the social awkwardness.

I live pain free (these days) but there’s a certain diagonal slouch on the couch that releases all stress from my neck and shoulders that feels like reaching the surface of water after too long under.

My mate was kinda forced to spend a *lot* of time with family members and they were difficult. He ended up saying “Look, we’re family, not friends, we don’t have shared values, let’s just get through this.” Him telling me this, when I have zero family, really struck me.
