I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

Yesss as an Aussie in Europe ppl keep asking me if im warm enough at home in the winter and im like bruh it’s actually way worse in australia, this is fuckin toasty
Totally depends where in Europe tbh. I lived in Cyprus for a few years, and how bitterly cold it was in winter always shocks people. I’ve never been as cold in my life as I was mid January in Cyprus even at home - there’s zero central heating and everyone always said I must be exaggerating how cold it got but when it’s warmer outside the house than inside and there’s snow on the ground, it’s not a fun time at all.
And in the summer, running the AC left you with a €600 electric bill (before the current energy crisis) in a country where €1000 a month is a decent salary, so there’s only about 4 months a year it’s even close to comfortable at home. Going to work in a job I hated where homophobic abuse was common even from management as a gay woman was often a relief just because it was air conditioned in summer and heated in winter by electric heaters.
Bloody hell 😱 Cyprus eh? That’s rubbish. Sounds like you’ve escaped though? And moved to somewhere nicer?
We’re in the UK and about to emigrate to Mauritius. I did have Portugal on my list for a while. But I’ve decided that the whole of Europe is a bad idea and we’re going to stay out of it.
Portuguese houses have the same construction; total lack of insulation and central heating. Yet in the north it can get fairly chilly in winter! It even snows on higher ground … And it’s humid all year round so massive problems with mold. After looking at the sad state of house construction and the multitude of statues of notable ex-slavers/colonisers in the public squares 🙄, I decided against.
