Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Didn't you find that you couldn't remember the book well in that instance, though?

I've just read a chapter after finishing about 22 hours of travelling ... I'm pretty darn tired, and it's just not going in :-/

You'd think so, but I did remember a lot of the books I read! I was just able to hyperfocus and be sucked in so intensely that I felt I was there.

Nowadays, I read maybe only a few chapters, depending on how long each chapter is and how in to it I am, until I'm having to reread sentences.

I think after 22h of travelling, anyone would have a little trouble taking in words on the first read.

That sounds relatable

In other news, I need to stay up for another half an hour or so to try and push myself into the right hours ... a couple of short chapters, then :-P

It's a very responsible thing to do to readjust to the time zone, can't argue with that. 😁

There was a thunder storm, so I couldn't sleep anyway ... I kinda finished the book (it was a really light read, lol)
