@AskTheDevil I feel you, Lucy as I've been in a similar situation. Stay strong. You're in my thoughts.

Ugma Blah was an eccentric Neanderthal. Anthropologists have learned that Ugma slept in his cave with cats, wolves, elk, and even a woolly mammoth! Yes, Ugma Blah had his creature comforters.

The covetous looks, whistles, and "Wooo's," I could handle, but ultimately, it was all the "Wow, nice ass!" comments that stopped me from walking my donkey downtown.

@mikeflstfi Good luck with everything

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your friend or family member that writes or creates art isn't wasting their time. They happen to be following their passion.

Everybody should have a magic carpet, a smile that touches hearts, and a pet that will live as long as they do.

"You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself."
Leviticus didn't talk no smack.

If you scroll through a % of the myriad of profiles on Elon's X that profess distrust or hatred of immigrants, you will find that most use an avatar, fake name, and have few followers. This is how the modern-day Nazi/racist regime works. Reject, lie, obfuscate, and incite anger, anonymously.

@TrueBloodNet Indeed. His "golden shoes" are a retrofit ;)

Cologne, NFTs, shoes, bibles, watches, etc. Heck, Trump would sell just about anything to augment his Cult of Personality and raise money.
Sure, most "offerings" are a joke, but you have to admire his grift-to-itiveness.

If a flea falls in the forest, does a wee circus get cancelled?

@Tacitus_Kilgore Cool. Sunset still about 40' away here yet.
