Because mood. It's so tiring.

--

People so staunch and true, they're fixated,
Shining with self-regard like polished stones.
And their whole life spent admiring themselves
For their own long-suffering.
Licking their wounds
And flashing them around like decorations.
I hate it, I always hated it, and I am
A part of it myself.

It's a weird thing, I can't make large purchases without it actually making me feel ill. I want to enjoy and be excited I'm getting a computer today but I actually feel nauseous. It's always the same.

@singlemaltgirl @ToruOkada I tend to revert to this poem when asked that;

Smoke-signals are loud-mouthed compared with us:
Manoeuvrings to find out name and school,
Subtle discrimination by addresses
With hardly an exception to the rule

That Norman, Ken and Sidney signalled Prod
And Seamus (Call me Sean) was sure-fired Pape.
O land of password, handgrip, wink and nod,
Of open minds as open as a trap,

@singlemaltgirl one thing I'd say was the PEACE tranche of funding from the EU did wonders for here post conflict, funding outreach programmes, infrastructure. That really made a difference.

Then fuckin Brexit.

@EllyOnTheGo are we starting pizza wars again?

I’m all in for pineapple

@singlemaltgirl nail on head. I cringe anytime I read words “we are the greatest”

@ecksmc he has the West by the balls now and he knows it.

@Horrrflmlvr too many won’t.

Now think about what Elon is doing on a global scale through Twitter.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.

Hannah Arendt

My daughter gets a Protestant education, my friends daughter a Catholic one. How can they even say this with a straight face.

These are minor grievances considering the state of it all but it really pisses me off.

You can’t protect the poor by appeasing business interests. You can’t protect the poor by appeasing tyrants. You can’t protect the planet by appeasing Corporations.
