After the old chap up the close has spent weeks sawing and clearing stuff by hand, the Council's contractors have finally arrived to clear the dead wood by the stream at the back of our plot that was threatening to collapse over our drive (and car). It shouldn't be noteworthy, but I'm gratified to see that one of the three chainsaw-wielding, chipper-feeding bodies is a woman: there must surely be a market for a (non-pink) "my little chainsaw" to counteract all the reactive, repressive, gender-normative crap in the stores.

What's wrong with pink chainsaws? They always seem to come in hideous toxic orange. I'm after day of the week chainsaws. Tuesdays should be pink.

I really don't think a pink one would suit Ebony Rae. Purple maybe, if you can't live with the orange. Or black: black is always good.

there's a set of purple smaller-sized tools; our reaction was halfway between approval, offense and smut...
