RantAnother TIM at my school!
I've written before about "Igor," the 6'3"-ish, 300 lb-ish TIM who's in the midst of "transitioning" and whom we're supposed to call "she." (Yeah, THAT ain't happenin' outta MY mouth.)
I'd heard that there was another TIM in the building but, being new this year, I hadn't seen him yet. Well, this morning I had that ..... <ahem> ..... pleasure, as I was seated a few rows behind him this morning at our weekly staff meeting. Well over 6', 220+ lbs, with male brow ridge, male jawline and very male Adam's apple. And long, stringy, badly-dyed-purple hair.
Oh, SO feminine. 🙄
I'm surprised he didn't sense my evil glare, which I focused on the center of his back at every opportunity.
We work on different floors, in different departments, so I hope never to encounter him up close and personal. Also, fortunately(!), there are staff restrooms on each floor, so the chance of us ending up in the same one at the same time are pretty low. That's good, because if he's in there with me, I will absolutely lose it.
Much as I love most of the policies in my very blue state, having to deal with this gender ideology bullshit drives me bonkers. And by gawd, I do so detest these scrotes. 🤬
it was 2016 that the new £5 note was released into circulation with the image of Winston Churchill on the reverse, replacing the previous £5 note that featured the image of Elizabeth Fry, that alone amazes me about how quickly we forget.
Ah right... I'd forgotten... When Fry was replaced by Churchill on the fiver, that was when there were no woman on any UK bank notes apart from the queen. That was when the campaign started to get notable women represented on bank notes.
Fry is my hero. I learnt about her as a child as I went to a Quaker school, and was so disappointed when she was removed from the £5 note.
Shes a feminist hero, and yet another example of how history overlooks women who have changed the shape of the modern world.
Everyone is out here fawning over Elon Musk and a million other undeserving silver-spoon moids, while women can literally revolutionise the way we do things and 99% of people couldn't name them.

So much truth!
Its so shameful that we've gone so far backwards in such a short period of time.
all the more an outrage that the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies has turned its back on women...as exposed by the formidable Heather Mason https://twitter.com/Mason134211f/status/1400130437595475975
Just started the the prison mockumentary Hard Cell on Netflix. Catherine Tate gives a shout out to Elizabeth Fry in the first episode!
i'd like to say that I hope that by the 200th anniversary we will have achieved enough to make prisons actually single sex again but I fear that the more realistic option is that by 2023 there will be even more men in women's prisons than ever. :( at least elizabeth isn't around to see the destruction of her life's work. RIP shero
Thanks for the history lesson. She was a really remarkable woman. It is a little chilling to think what it was like for imprisoned women before the changes she insisted be made. Brrr.
Kinda like New Jersey . . .
