I'm back to work this week after a while wfh. I'm so excited to see everyone! Bit nervous obviously but still excited. Hope it goes well.

I've got my new housemate coming sunday, so I'll be spending friday and sunday getting her room ready for her. I'm so happy with how it's coming together!

Excellent post! I love patterns, most of my clothes are bright colours and/or patterns. They're vibrant and engaging. I'd say my favourite are polka dot and damask. Polka dot is just fun, light hearted and easy to wear. Damask is just pretty and kinda elegant. I'm not a fan of geometric I'm too girly for it

It's fine eight, the Internet is lousy at conveying tone and you get people that say all sorts on it. I really appreciate your detailed comment and apology it's really nice of you.

For me inorganic representation is things like the 90s show cast...it very much seemed like the producers criteria was to cast an actor from each ethnic group, the actors didn't particularly gel and the characters just wouldn't hang out if they were real. It also wasn't realistic to have a young, openly gay asian male in a small town in the 90s and there to be virtually no awkwardness over it. It's patronising and obvious... and yet they still picked a light skinned black girl! That smacked of saying "we'll have one that's black but not too black".

Yep rape and VAWAG was badly handled on the show.

Yep, wokeness to me isn't inclusivity, I usually find it patronising. I agree with you, it was atrociously handled eg when Spike tried to rape Buffy and very little was done with it. I'm concerned it's going to be really OTT, clunking corrections. Especially as they're in the shadow of the Joss Whedon allegations...

A lot of gay women come out after having had boyfriends, so I don't find that a hard pivot. Your idea of inorganic representation and mine are different, and I'm concerned that you could be making assumptions about my thoughts. Honestly, the tone of your comment reads as a little hostile. Come back to me when you'd like to discuss it in a more constructive manner ❤️

I remember the time with your dad! It sounds like your time with your brother was pretty much perfect, I'm really pleased.

Oh that sounds really good. I'd have chosen that flavour straight away

You're arguing against things I've never said.

Where did I say it should be the opposite of woke?

I see it differently. As a disabled lgbt female I'm passionate about inclusion and representation in media. However, some modern shows put inorganic representation in, a lot of politics, and try desperately to be woke. I find it doesn't work, and it's often patronising and insulting. A lot of people who tune into the new Buffy show will presumably do it because they watched the show at the time. If it's aimed predominantly at Gen Z, then they're cutting out a lot of their viewers and longtime fans. I feel that would be the wrong choice.

Haha np

I'll be honest I'm not hopeful about this one. I've a horrible feeling it's going to be overly woke and aimed at Gen Z
