I dislike it when a person from a marginalized group self-flagellate themselves, or other people that are members of that group - like Georgia Man on Radio 3 commenting on a female composer 'composing like a man'. I find it worse than when a man is sexist. It reenforces myths that certain pass times, jobs, etc, aren't open to women. The same can also be said about POC doing these same things. Quit it and behave as
There are certain phrases that get on my nerves - hot minute/it's been a minute, it is what it is and it's sick/that's sick (used to mean great, rather than the original meaning...) They are irritating expressions.

spiders are tricky devils when it comes to decorating - they always think it's Halloween... (aka spiders have been making webs in the house again...)
Tomorrow is the start of the annual doggy appreciation event (aka Crufts.) Border Collies will once again be the true stars of the show as they blitz agility and flyball...
My food processor and bluetooth speaker are on their way. You know, one of the things I get tired of with blogs these days is how zoomed in the text and images are so that they are hard to follow, and there are also tons of ads in the middle of them. The ads make the sites look dodgy even when they aren't. I think neocities websites are much better to navigate, even the ones which have mid to late 90's clashing -
It depends on what the scheme is, what it actually does, and what your definition of diversity is - I wouldn't want people losing access to services that they need - like district nurses who support disabled, mentally ill and elderly people in their homes, or support for autistic children at school (as examples) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68477450 I notice the report doesn't actually say what the schemes
