Taking a break from here to reconsider. I tire of being blocked by a dozen people every time I post. It’s not some grand conspiracy, just a relentless drip of everyday bigotry in all its ugly forms, and downright small-mindedness. I’m sure I’ll be back. In the meantime take care.

Preemptively blocking strangers on social media without ever interacting seems an odd pastime. It builds echo chambers, signals hostility, and cultivates the sort of avoidance habits that don't translate into offline life. For my amusement, and your information, I keep a list of those who do so.

The first review was free — this is the next part:
This one goes inside Virginia Giuffre’s pain, power, and survival: the torture, the miscarriage, the betrayal by people who saw her as property.
It’s the story of a girl who feared she’d die a sex slave — and a woman who told the truth anyway. 🦋

As the US approaches its 250th anniversary with the Trump regime taking a wrecking ball to truth and democracy, with troops on the streets, a divided nation, climbing cost of living; what amazes me is those who, despite his plummeting poll figures, still cling to the notion of Trump’s ‘golden age’.

Even in my student days I loved my shiny red shoes, although when I look back on the idea of pairing those with white stockings and glossy red lipstick, I’m not sure that was ever really a good look.
