It is hard and it doesn't seem to get easier. Sooo many people might see us as living their dream (I have been told that by people, so again, no arrogance), but inside I'm a fucking disaster. The thing is, we have poise and we know how to present ourselves. That doesn't mean life is plain sailing!

If only a huge number of people had known this prior to the supreme court ruling. Oh wait, we did, but we were also not allowed to join in the discussion to raise the issue.

The thing is, we ARE cool! That's not hubris or arrogance, look at the fucking state of most people! I wonder if our being cool is connected to our massive self doubt though, like that's actually the thing that makes us awesome. Morons are full of confidence so they never feel they have to show up.

Airline pilots have to retire at 65 because it's considered too dangerous to let people over that age be in charge of a plane. And yet there's no upper age limit for someone to be in charge of a country. Ridiculous.

I was in the supermarket recently and heard a man ask what I assume was his elderly father if he wanted a vegetarian pie. The old man, slightly offended, said "no". He then looked at the pie and said "It's not a vegetarian pie, it's a vegetable pie" and put it in his trolley. It was both, obvs.

Don't you think that saying "They say they're pro life, but..." is becoming a cliche at this point though? I mean come one, we're adults. We've been hearing this same line forever. Yes, they say they're pro life, but they fund wars, they cut healthcare, they're anti gun control. We get it.

It's ALL politicians and always will be. It's career first, party second and people third. Always. Their loyalty is to themselves, not whatever marginalised group they might also belong to. When they get into the inner circle they no longer see themselves as marginalised. They are the establishment.

When he called Denmark to tell them he wanted Greenland the Danish thought he was joking! That's how used he is to getting his way. Anyone who doesn't give him what he wants is removed from his orbit. When the Danish prime minister (a woman) told him 'no' his brain must've short-circuited.

This is the root of the problem with trump. He has been surrounded by yes men and sycophants telling him he's amazing for decades and when someone refuses to submit to him he has a mental meltdown. He's bullied his way into his position, but there are world leaders who won't be bullied.

The depth varies depending on the thickness of the skin anyway, and eyelid skin is quite shallow, so you won't hit as hard. It wasn't really that difficult, but it's a very small amount of tattooing that when right up to the eyelid.

My point was about American Exceptionalism and perceived moral superiority when it comes to illegal wars instigated (and lost) by the USA and its allies. Also, you don't get to decide who's points are relevant and who's aren't, especially when you've missed the actual point.

It was fine actually, we just took it really slow. They needed a few breaks, but handpoke was definitely the way to go as it traumatises the skin much less.
