There are numerous stereotypes out there. Assumptions and ignorance about groups of people continue to run riot through our society, even now, in 2023. It’s absurd, it’s a joke, but it is also reality for millions of people, around the world. If you check out the WordPress tag on homophobia, then you’ll see that the […]
Recently, the fundie that I have had the misfortune of sparring with more than once posted an attack on the idea of rights. Over the past few decades, there have been groups of people demanding their rights. They came to the knowledge that they have rights because many countries, not just America, provide rights in […]
Well, firstly, I’m gonna switch this to ‘Prime Minister Campaign’, on the grounds of being from Britain, but I’m sure the general gist will be similar. Regular readers of this blog (or the Coalition of the Brave site) will be quite aware of my outspoken views on politics, and will have quite-rightly identified me as […]
Oh boy. I can really sink my teeth into this one. One of the greatest evils humanity has ever inflicted upon itself, is the belief that money is more important than anything else. Those with money and power have long done everything they can to retain their positions of privilege. You need only look at […]
Bear with me here, this one may end up being a bit of a blur. It covers ground I’ve covered before, quite extensively, across more than one website, and if you ask me, some of these arguments make absolutely no sense. All too often, people conflate certain ideas, even when this conflation has been debunked. […]
Stress is the word, and stress is the opening theme. Bedsheets Is it daft to get seriously stressed over placing bedsheets upon a heated, indoor clothes dryer? I find the whole ordeal to be seriously aggravating. The sheets, to me, are unwieldy, and I cannot figure out how to put them onto the dryer in […]
In two separate avenues, I have seen two very different takes on the notion of ‘body counts’. This… shall we say concept, relates to how many intimate partners someone has had. To some, this is of considerable importance. To others, it is an irrelevant, out-dated concern. My question is, does this idea have any validity? […]
I don’t really know where to begin here. My social media activities don’t particularly lend themselves to lengthy blog posts. I don’t tend to follow trending posts either. As of the day of writing this (the 27th of December), Boxing Day is trending on Twitter. I’m not participating in Twitter threads on that trend. Piers […]
It seems religious fundamentalists are incapable of grasping irony. We expected to get a response from one of the two opposing views that seem to watch our website on a daily basis. Sure enough, the owner of the MM website came through and stated his faulty opinion. We are not going to address his opinion […]
Where do I begin with this one?! There are so many current events, both at home and abroad, that I have no clue how to begin. Do I talk about the energy bill crisis? The general inequalities of our social-economic system? Shall I rant about the failures of our cruel and callous Conservative government? What […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Let me reiterate, this post is not suitable for work! However, it is perhaps not for the reasons you think (or hope!). I am no prude. I am a man of the world, and familiar with activities of an, um, personal nature. Let it also be said that if people wish to educate themselves about […]
