Picture this – Trouble and Strife

If you want to get ahead, get a head-shot–on a professional profile or a company website, your photo is not an optional extra. But why should women be obliged to put their faces on public display?

Her response was to shame him on social media, telling him that she didn’t appreciate being objectified in this way. The emphasis put on looks,...

Metaphysical Elements in Writing – Gemstones

Hello, SE’ers! It’s Jan again with the first part of the new series that’s all about including metaphysical elements in fiction writing. Today, I’m going to explore the use of gemstones in stories. If you follow my personal blog, you know I did a fairly extensive series of posts on various gemstones I own, along with their metaphysical properties. And while all gemstones carry some monetary value, the esoteric value far outweighs the physical value, in my humble opinion. It’s easy to include stones with magic powers or healing properties in fantasy or even sci-fi. J.R.R. Tolkien introduced magical gemstones...

Between the Blog and the Birdsite

This week I: Your Twitter experience is a combination of content consumption and content creation. People see few downsides to just posting as long as you don’t get cancelled or harass anyone, while the stuff you consume is what everyone is cautioned about. Everyone talks about timelines filled with rage and misinformation and bluechecks. But the posting isn’t separate from the doomscrolling, and it’s often the worse part of the experience. Today I opened Twitter for 15 minutes, caught up on the French election and the war in Ukraine with insightful takes curated by my excellent ingroup follow list, laughed...

It’s a small group so this is really just for interest only. I might try to do a larger survey some time on this community. It’d be great to get comments from people in this line of work. Income The survey asked people to say which quintile of US or UK income they fell into. The most common response for Pro Dom/mes answering the survey was the second quintile (“More than £13,000 or $11,000 but less than...

It had never occurred to me to try and host a virtual remote Eurovision party until the worst happened: the 2020 contest was cancelled due to COVID-19 – the first cancellation in the contest’s 65-year history. In the past few years, I’ve hosted a Eurovision viewing party at my flat for the night of the final, so I decided to look into hosting a virtual event to coincide with another momentous occasion – my 30th birthday. A lot of the preparation was fairly straight-forward: invite a load of friends, assign them a country and ask them to vote for their...
