I recently posted about the idea that former US president Donald Trump is being persecuted, and why I believe that idea is preposterous. I wrote that post because Citizen Tom decided to dissect a comment I’d made elsewhere. Tom duly responded to that post, but it’s the comments on Tom’s post that I am more […]
Content warning for this post, it delves into some difficult, and emotional territory. Over on the Coalition website, I have been debating the challenging and charged topic of abortion. It goes without saying that there are a lot of powerful opinions on this subject, and not a lot of consensus. I do not expect there […]
What would you change about modern society? I can already smell the pushback from this one. My chief change? I’d end the culture of greed. I’ve written countless times on how there’s enough resources out there to help prevent poverty and starvation. Within the UK alone, there’s enough in the bank to provide everyone with […]
Friends, meerkats, all of you, lend me your ears, it’s Meerkat Muse time! Work it… Work it Real Good No, I am not shaking my booty or gyrating my ass, or thrusting my hips. I am quite literally referring to work. Circumstances have been quite tough of late, due to a colleague being off long-term […]
Emotions. We all have them. We all experience them. Love, anger, happiness, despair, jealousy, joy… they are part of the human experience. Those emotions will manifest themselves in various forms. Tears? They can be provoked for a variety of reasons. Sadness? Of course. I cried at the funerals of two of my aunts, and of […]
We approach July, and the halfway point of 2023, with some interesting political news… Johnson can get Stuffed Back on the 15th, the Privileges Committee’s report into whether or not Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons over Partygate finally hit the public domain. Given Johnson had resigned as an MP the week before […]
What are you passionate about? If we’re talking casual interests, I can write you a fairly long list. I could go on. Star Trek, Doctor Who, The Lion King, Liverpool Football Club… these are all subjects of great personal interest to me. In most respects, these have been lifelong interests too. I know where my […]
June is Pride Month. It’s a celebration of all things LGBT+. It is not unsurprising that there is a lot of backlash to Pride, from conservative, religious sources. Businesses such as Target have faced boycotts over their display of LGBT products, and Target went as far as to cave into bullying, by removing and relocating […]
Do you remember life before the internet? The answer is yes, I do remember a time BI – Before Internet. My early childhood was largely computer-free, until the early 90s, and the internet didn’t kick in for a few years after that. We had games consoles in the house, but these weren’t net-enabled, because the […]
I regularly read The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser. Bruce has become quite dear to me. His forthright approach to extremist evangelicals is refreshing and entertaining, and his willingness to lay everything bare, despite knowing that said evangelicals will try to pick apart his words, is brave and noble. Recently, he made two posts […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Truth be told, I have zero thoughts on adult colouring books. If someone finds them to be therapeutic, or relaxing, then fair play to them. I am not going to judge one way or the other (least of all considering that I still like to play with my model space ships every now and then!).
