Native English speaker here - my English teacher at school always used to say that in order to write well, you need to read well.
That probably doesn’t help you in the short term, however! But, yes - finding “good” authors you enjoy is a good way to go.
No shit, Sherlock.
I mean, I do understand him saying: “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians, because it will be counterproductive in the long term”.
But what he should really be saying is “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians because that’s fucking evil”.
How did we get to this position where no leaders of the West will stand up and call this out for what it is?
I understand it’s a complex situation, but treating an entire people like they’re subhuman is morally unacceptable. And I can’t fucking believe that the sodding Israelis - of all people - don’t know this.
Always fully open! More airflow, less stuffiness. Having said that, we don’t share a home with anyone else.
The best thing about breaking up with someone is that you’ll get to fall in love again.
Obviously don’t rush that or seek it out, but it will happen at some point.
I always think that breaking up from a decently long relationship is like losing a part of yourself - take your time and make yourself whole before trying to fill that void with the “easy fix” of starting a relationship with someone else.
How do you do that? It just takes time. Do things you love doing. Spend time with people who bring joy to your life. Embrace life! Say yes to new experiences. Be brave.
And then - probably when you least expect it - you’ll meet someone who makes you realise that breaking up was the best thing that could have happened to you.

Jesus. We’re fucked.
This is so obviously, patently fake that it’s not worth voting on.
Even if the former Twitter engineers were working on Threads - so what?
I have had to demonstrate relevant skills and experience for every job I’ve ever applied for (beyond junior/trainee). This is just how the world works.
It’s almost like Musk doesn’t understand how enormously normal it is to use skills and experience gained in one job when you go to the next one.
And it’s not like Twitter has special IP - it’s a fairly straightforward system; the only difficulty is scale which Meta will already know all about.
Why not subscribe to them all? Content will still appear on your home feed …
There were a bunch of subreddits I was subbed to on Reddit that were effectively the same thing, even if they had different names.
This is the funniest thing I’ve read in ages. Bring on the cage fight!!
Greggs.
This can’t be true.
I’m not American but does 6th grade mean about 11?
Ha ha, excellent summary!!
Man, when you put it like that …. it just boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
We certainly are living in interesting times.
The Twitter meltdown looks like it’s gathering pace.
Astonishing how the ultra rich can just get away without paying their bills. Isn’t he also behind on rent for loads of Twitter offices? Not to mention not honouring severance pay agreements.
Wonder if debtors prison is still a thing anywhere in the world …
I’ve always thought that telling the truth is generally preferable to “family secrets” unless kids are too young to handle it.
They would have found out at some point anyway, and then they would have felt betrayed by you too. NTA.
Couldn’t agree more!
What a great idea - thank you!!
