You look amazing! I had my hair cut super short about a month ago and I love it. I felt so vulnerable and exposed at first, but it feels so much more ME. So I can relate, and I wish you and your new hair all the best!

Thank you for writing this, Kate. I related a lot, as a queer survivor who has struggled with anorexia and self harm (although these pre-dated my being raped, they were just infinity worse afterwards).

Here’s […]

Kim Lammers…YUM.

I am supposed to be an intelligent person in terms of academic ability, but at the moment I am slightly concerned that I am taking the absent minded genius concept to extremes – in relation to the absent […]

I’m really glad this is back on TV! Although this is largely because I adore Scottish accents (my awesome girlfriend is Scottish – score!). I kind of understand the whole Frankie/Cat thing – I’ve fallen in love […]

I don’t think doctors who do coke are such a rarity really – there was some sort of investigation into alcohol/drug use in young doctors over here in the UK a couple of years ago, and if my friends who have been […]

I always think this, but then remember that when I put on eyeliner I just look like a child who’s raided her mother’s make up box. Plus, assuming your avatar is a picture of you I should think girls would like you […]

YES. I knew she reminded me of someone. I loved Thirteen…

I only got the food shopping done in the end. I’m never going to take over the world if I can’t even get my ass to yoga on time!

Homosexual agenda:
1. Buy weekly food shopping

3. Go to yoga

I’m just not sure I have time for world domination and corruption of the world’s children on […]

As another UK lady, I must say that although Diva can be a bit clichéd and repetitive, I still enjoy reading it and I think they are getting better. Sometimes it is rather like lesbian Cosmo (and to be honest […]

Aw, Borders. I miss them too! I just want to scream “whyyyyyyyy!” into the cold uncaring heavens now.

Or maybe that’s a bit melodramatic for Friday morning.

Ditto. I am now envisioning my future death by piles of collapsed Bitch magazines. This is why I recycle Diva after reading.

Am I the only lesbian in the world not attracted to Heather Peace? It feels like it sometimes. Olivia Benson, however – helloooo!

Okay, my girlfriend is a fan of Silent Witness and I watched it for the first […]

Whoo for two years of full recovery! Me too, so 2009/10 were obviously good years for people to get their shit together I’m really glad you found someone who accepts you too, my girlfriend is awesome and my […]

Thank you! That’s really sweet. It just winds me up when people get so black and white about things, you know? At least it wound me up enough to stop me being a chronic lurker!

That should have been “If, like the author, you just assume that all relationships are supposed to be a matter of settling for someone you don’t hate…” because I got a bit worked up and missed out the important […]
