My ears even want to hurt and itch. I hate my allergies.

I think I’ve mentioned, on here, this book but if I haven’t, I truly believe everyone should open it up and get a glimpse at the rest of the world. It is from the 1990s so I’m sure there are changes to what families consider their prized possessions, but it’s still an excellent anthropological examination of “wealth.”

I was having this discussion with my physical therapist this morning and how all those rich women in high-end jobs, i.e. politicians, wouldn’t have their cushy jobs if we went back to the “good ‘ol days.” Heaven forbid they acknowledge all the improvements made over the decades by women and thank them for making it possible for them to have the job they have.

Such fucking hypocrites they are.

The "Anti-Woke Movement":

Because if certain people don't constantly screech about stuff they don't like (thus drawing a lot of attention to themselves), the rest of us might forget they're there. It's called... #PlayingTheVictimCard .

There’s too much “taking for granted” behaviour.
I was a volunteer, helping refugees, (Africa, Iraq), for a couple of years and the shock they went thru when I took them into a grocery store or a fast food drive thru. Or me, being a woman, driving and talking freely. It was all a huge eye-opener for me.

I'm starting to think this Musk dickhead might represent a danger to democracy. The last time I felt like that about something or someone my laptop ended up as an exhibit in the International Spy Museum in Washington DC.

Just had to come back to share this. Another library burning. Have the protestors been in contact with Republicans here? Good night.

Worth Repeating:
1) Vaccines save lives.
2) Homeopathy is a scam.
3) Astrology is a hoax.
4) Magic isn't real.
5) Psychics are frauds.
6) Prayer doesn't work. (#4)
7) Yoga can't cure cancer.
8) Climate change is real.
9) “Chemtrails” = ice crystals
10) The earth is not flat.

The rich can't comprehend why us regular folks can't just "pull on our boot straps" to get to their level.

Their "boot straps" however are trust funds, inheritances, nepotism jobs and being given every opportunity available to succeed with no effort on their own.

@Gambit_1 I had my Crocs on and it just happened to be where I stepped i promise

@Gambit_1 I stepped on it an smushed. It made that oddly satisfying splat sound.

@Gambit_1 tbh Some folks say that to me when they discover I have MS and am in a wheelchair but I've trained myself to just smile and thank them because I really can't be bothered to argue and if it helps them feel better then that is fine (I'm glad to help).
