The traumas of a SJW
One of the lovely side effects of being menopausal has been very sore boobs just before my period. Taking my bras off on those days has been the most blessed of reliefs. So, I thought I'd invest in some soft bra top thingies. I have some for weekends and they are very comfy but they don't have matching knickers. I like my underwear to match.
What?
Anyway, i thought that, while I was 'investing', I'd look for some eco/fairtrade underwear. Last time I looked into such things it was horribly expensive and the choice was severely limited. Surely times have changed? Well, I can report that the prices have come down to something reasonable. The choice, however...
All the UK companies sell stuff in black or white. Oh, or the dullest of dull grey or blue. Seriously - just because I have a conscience doesn't mean i can't want pretty things, you know! There is a US company called TomboyX that do colours - yay! Except that they are LGBTQIA rainbows and trans blue-pink-white stripes. Now, regular readers will know that I consider myself an ally, but I don't want anyone to think I'm aping or mocking or just plain not understanding so... No to the vibrant colours. Also, their knickers are all variants of male underwear which just feels... No!
So, I've gone with Everlane. Bikini briefs and soft bra top in pale pink. They also do a nice pale blue, but one thing at a time. I had to pay an extra $11 for duties and fees, although shipping is free. And it's coming from the other side of the world, which kind of lowers my SJW points considerably. BUT they are a great company, their models are of all shapes and sizes. AND I wear all my clothes to death, so I will definitely get the wear out of them!
I'm currently watching The Society on Netflix. It started out a bit slow, then something happened at the end of episode three and I was hooked. I'm 8 episodes in, now - only 2 left. Although I'm expecting a second series because they can't wrap everything up in 2 episodes.
It's hard to say anything without spoiling stuff. There are lots of really interesting characters and even the 'goodies' have their flaws which is a good thing. Lots of moral issues have come up and it's interesting to see how they deal with them. They have to find an answer to everything - there is no theory here. Their interactions and relationships and decisions are all very believable. And they find the chance to insert humour into some quite dark places.
Tomorrow is the Champions League Final - come on Reds!!!
And that's all for now. Bye DW.
