Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Still job hunting, still practicing sewing.

My wife and I started a birthing course last week and holy fuck if that isn't a slap in the face from the patriarchy. Took all our energy not to eye roll at the heteronormativity and misogyny in literally every comment by a man in the room. Big 'I hate my wife' energy which really makes you think well why are you all here then? Which sucks because I'd really hope to learn from other couples experiences but alas the straights typically have little to offer.
