      Les petites beurgeoisie?

      What a class traitor! And what a good thing that is! Fuck the barriers, fuck the gatekeepers, and fuck the naysayers. You enjoy the opera: tell people it was brilliant! The opera performers want to hear it, the people want to hear it, and the internet wants to hear it!

      What was the performance?

      I had no idea. I have never once had a fatherday acknowledgement and I refuse to acknowledge it with my dad coz he was a cunt. Wonder if that’s what my kids think of me

        Schools at least make a thing of it these days, as they know there are so many broken homes. And I’m sure your kids don’t think of you as just a cunt, we are all nuanced individuals (cunt + something else surely!). And if my kids don’t mention it: all the better imo. There isn’t a children’s day!

        I’m very fortunate to have a great relationship with mine, and it’s a blessing I don’t take lightly. I wouldn’t worry about your kids just because of this, though. It’s a tradition thing; if there was never a habit of doing it, it doesn’t mean they’re choosing to avoid doing it with you now

    Went to the second edition of Thurso Pride. Had a lovely day. Then enjoyed the sunset, even if it was far too late in the evening. I’m feeling particularly thankful to live in such a beautiful place.
