When I die I hope it’s doing 2 of my favourite activities- sitting and doing nothing.

Also available here- @quinacridone@mander.xyz

  • Help me find a fragrance?

    Jump

  • fragrantica has a useful perfume note feature, just search for peach and it will bring up loads of fragrances containing it... the forums are also friendly, good luck 👍

  • What traditionally men's fashions do you like to wear?

    Jump

  • Combat pants- they're nice and baggy, have millions of pockets and have a sensible, comfy fit with non 'girly' colours, eg olive green, navy, black or camo!

    BOOTS! I still have a pair of caterpillar boots that are probably around 20+ years old, the soles are indestructible! Dr Martins and baseball boots (Chucks)

    Hoodies- again they have pockets, usually with zips! and the colours are non 'girly'

    I think that mens clothes have tougher, longer lasting material that don't come with ridiculous trimmings. Have nicer colours (in flavours of drab), plus POCKETS!!

    Women specific clothes are just alien things that are just vile, except for some jeans (and bras, knickers 😆 lol)

  • I want to explore Linux and coding more, and need recommendations

    Jump

  • I do actually want to get a Raspberry Pi at some point.... been thinking about it for about 5 years or so, BUT at the moment I want to concentrate on what I have rather than buy hardware I may take some time getting round to using

  • Removed

    Kick-Ass Women from History #4: Hatshepsut

    Jump

  • I really love reading these posts of yours, especially Zheng Yi Sao (Woman Pirate, Fuck Yeah!).... I need to read your post on Wu Zao next

    I really appreciate reading about non Western women who kicked arse 👍

  • I want to explore Linux and coding more, and need recommendations

    Jump

  • Thank you for the book suggestion, I had a brief look online and it does seem interesting, I'm going to acquire a copy.... if he can describe the inner workings of computers in a humorous way, and if I can maybe learn just one new thing, then I'm in! 👍

    Thanks again

  • Ah okay 👍

  • I'm quite happy with Mint, but I do have 2 laptops, one for travel and the other I can use as an experimental playground.

    I think trying Arch will be out of my comfort zone right now, but I can see that as an option once I've got to grips with the basic stuff

    Thank you, I appreciate it 😀

  • Thank you, I think this may be what I'm looking for (also I had it bookmarked and had forgotten about it)

  • Weekly chit chat thread 21st April

    Jump

  • Please tell me you've gotten a flaming skull or similar, that would be excellent for peri/post woman to rock 🔥 💀

  • What's a small change that improved your mental health?

    Jump

  • Holy shit, I need to start meditating again, this may just give me final push to start doing it 👍

    I agree with with your comment and couldn't put it better! I will add (for myself) making/creating art really helps me, and also baking healthy food. Both take me into a chilled out zone.... also me and the bf are going to get e-bikes so we can get out and about, fresh air, exercise and greenery, whilst not killing ourselves, (but you don't necessarily need an e-bike for that)

    Also, I'm really sorry that your private journal was weaponized against you, no-one should have to experience that

  • Article on Shirley Manson, Rock Goddess...!

    Jump

  • Suffocate Me, and Heartbreak to Hate are my standouts!

    I read a while ago that Shirley did a solo album while on hiatus from Garbage. If I remember correctly the record label wanted to turn into a new Annie Lennox, which she objected to, and instead she served up an (unreleased) record of neo goth darkness... I would sell a kidney to have a copy of that

  • I've not been to Canal Street for ages, I remember the first few Pride events consisted of some male go go dancers in hot pants, dancing on the back of a low loader as it drove down the street, I couldn't afford the ticket for it today

    Jump

  • Five and a half hours, that's dedication! (and pain) You'll have to post a photo when it's healed up

    I'd love to get one myself, but I can be very changeable when it comes to what I'm in to, and wouldn't want something so permanent, piercings can be taken out, hair grows back

    Having said that, there are some astonishingly beautiful tattoos out there, and there's part of me that still wants to freak my mother out!

    Jump

  • Yes, I knew it was on the cards, but didn't expect it so early, thought it might be a tease, alas no....

    I've not heard of The Pitt, I've been watching Severance and the White Lotus, but now they've finished I'll be looking for new TV to binge watch

  • Weekly chit chat thread 21st April

    Jump

  • I've only tried one mineral sunscreen and that was full on Coco The Clown 🤡 so I'm very wary of them!

    My regular ones have been La Roche Posay, which have really high PA ratings, but are a tad lardy. The Asian ones though are amazing, I've a couple of Skin Aqua ones, my fave (so far) being UV Super moisture Essence

    I think that if I'm going to be out and about for long periods the LRP are the ones to use (they feel a bit more 'heavy duty' but that could just be the lard effect). If I'm just nipping out the Asian ones will do the job

    Have you had prolonged sun exposure whilst wearing the Skin Aqua and not burned or tanned? I'm still wary of trusting them completely (I've had some horrible sun burns in the past and am really paranoid of the sun)

  • 'I'll be in my bunk....' 😜

  • What rain gear do you have (or wish you had)?

    Jump

  • Goretex is amazing, I have a Mountain Equipment coat for hiking, biking etc, I've had it over 15 years now and it's still going strong

    It's great seeing water beading up and rolling off my goretex trainers after I've stood in a puddle

    If you do get a coat I'd get a shell so you can layer it up in winter and still wear it in summer without, unless you live in Canada or Scandinavia. I'm in the UK, we don't get arctic weather unless you're up a mountain in Scotland in January

  • What rain gear do you have (or wish you had)?

    Jump

  • I have a few Rains of Denmark coats, they come i loads of colours and have a thin and rubberized coating, so while a bit of a sweatbox during hot weather they're perfect for inbetween 'not cold, but still not warm enough either'

    Also a knirps fold up umbrella- small and light weight to put in a bag for those heavier downpours

    And BOOTS!! never forget the boots! I'm still encased in Docs coated in plenty of dubbin, and wool socks from Bridgedale, keep you warm but not sweaty

    It's surprisingly dry-ish here, but always likely to just go torrential at a moments notice

  • Weekly chit chat thread 21st April

    Jump

  • I think I've finally worked out how to apply sunscreen so it doesn't become a greasy slick on my face that inevitably finds it's way into my eyes

    I read on labmuffin about using a cushion puff and it works, that plus a light dusting of corn flour on top and I no longer look like I'm coated in lard....Big whoop! Just in time for summer too 👍

    Also what's everyone watching on TV?

    I've just finished Apple, Cider, Vinegar on Netflix about cancer faker and scammer Belle Gibson, which was really good, and now I've started on The Last of Us season 2. I really love Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in this...... mmmm Pedro Pascal 😍
