As a member of a historically persecuted, cruelly marginalised, and tragically downtrodden community, I’d like to take this opportunity to rise up and demand a bit of respect for my people … we, the Tummy Sleepers, who sleep on our tums.For millennia we have been the least valued of the three major sleep-faiths, cowering in the shadows of the smug, superior Side Sleepers with their correctly aligned spines, and the brash, boorish Back Sleepers with their dry windburned snore-lips.
Why all this Tummy Sleeping contempt? We did not choose to be this way, we were born into it – our parents let us sleep on our tummies when we were babies even though every paediatrician told them it was unwise and potentially fatal, but they looked down at us in our cots, shrugged, and thought, “Ehh… they’ll be fine”. So we grew up as dedicated Tummy Sleepers, spending every night sprawled on our bellies like a chalk outline of a film-noir murder victim.
The media show us no love, never representing us in movies and TV shows. If there’s a sleeping-scene, the characters are always lying on their backs or on their sides – and if they’re lying on their tummies, it’s because someone’s lying on top of them or someone’s lying underneath them, either way, nobody’s getting any sleep.
A Tummy Sleeping life is a tough one – so tough that I’m ashamed to say, I recently considered sleep-converting. For a few nights I tried Back Sleeping, but apparently I made weird unpleasant mouth-popping noises and my Side Sleeping wife said she’d rather sleep with a Tummy Sleeper than a Mouth Popper .
If you have sciatica, you have to spend some time on your stomach.
I thought they were known as 'pillow biters'

ADF chief Angus Campbell tells cadets to avoid being ‘prey’ to predatorsThe nation’s top military officer said the cadets needed to not fall victim to the “Four A’s”: alcohol, out after midnight, alone and attractive. Gallo_Ways Sounds like he's telling only one gender of cadets this. Gallo_Ways In other words, “there are some bad people out there. They shouldn’t assault you but some people will, regardless of what they should or shouldn’t do. So take that into account and take some basic steps to stay safe from them.” Probably good advice for warfighting too. Gallo_Ways So if he told cadets about ways to avoid becoming the victim of a terrorist group that would be victim blaming? I would say he sees it as his job to act as in loco parentis for young cadets who like all young people will do risky things and drink too much at times.

Community divided during FABalice Festival as NT Police arrest LGBTIQA+ community memberThe FABalice Festival in the Northern Territory began in 2018 as a homage and celebration of the LGBTIQA+ community, but this year's festival has been marred by the arrest of a community member. So is the '+' in the LBG et al a symbol for 'we've put as many letters there as possible to virtue signal but couldn't remember all of you because frankly the acronym has become a joke. Am I close? Fascists!

Seriously, with all the investment in him he can’t make it to the second week of a tennis tournament. At his age Novak had six majors.
