Haven't posted here in a while because: Life

Also, because it can be difficult to convince family and friends to switch from 'you know who', even though 'you know who' is full of BS, annoying ads, and eye-in-the-sky harvesting of personal data and preferences.

I already have a 'Big Brother'.

“Nobody’s seen anything like it, even though they’ve done it twice before.” A quote by ‘guess who’.

Now, I am not an expert in logic, nor play one on TV, but a statement like that would have earned me a big fat F on any social studies or English paper in 7th grade. Probably in 5th grade, as well.

How do we explain to our children how to decide if the masked man with a gun is a criminal or is from the police, ICE, military, bounty hunter???? They all dress and act the same, so who can tell the difference?

Shame on those who are doing this and agree with it. Shame on those of us who do nothing to stop it.

Been off of Bluesky for a bit as I moved and somehow lost my password for the site. Will be posting as I can.

Peace be with you.

In this moment, each voice, action, and demonstration of strength aids both us and the entire world in overcoming the evil that is at hand. The evil in this world today has nothing to do with Satan. It is done by human beings to other human beings.

I'm still working to fully step away from FB. It is toxic and now full of bots and trolls. Of late, it appears that porn and sexual encounter links are being openly posted and promoted. Zuckerberg must be running out of money, poor baby.

Quick note:

Zuckerberg must be strapped for cash. Now allowing porn sites to advertise on FB with no option to 'report' the post.
