Recently, Citizen Tom wrote a post decrying democratic socialism. Leaving aside serious questions around whether or not the Democrats of the US political system are truly socialists (or even whether they have serious socialist leanings, something that is highly debateable), his post serves as the foundation for some interesting discussion points. Democratic Socialism As defined […]
Whilst perusing The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser, I came across a post from my pal that spoke of taxpayer’s money being funnelled away from state schools, and towards private schools. In particular, this money is going towards private religious schools, and in the US state of Ohio, that means Christian schools. It is […]
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Do I even need to answer this one? I think we all know what I’ll say…
It’s April! Has Spring finally sprung? And why do I wear a disgruntled expression? To answer the latter question, let’s rewind to the 20th of March… Supply Chains I fully appreciate that there are some issues way beyond the control of anyone where I work, such as the on-going disruption to our supply chain. This […]
Wow. Just wow. Originally I’d wondered if these comments related to the Coalition of the Brave site, as that site tends to attract this sort of ignorant deviant. Imagine my surprise when I realised they’d been left on Meerkat Musings! They are hilarious! Clearly whoever left the comments was feeling extremely angry, but if they […]
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Failure is part and parcel of life. We all make mistakes, we all fall down, we all do things we regret and are not proud of. However, not everyone responds to setbacks in the same way. I will stew over my mistakes […]
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? What is going to be my biggest challenge? Well, barring any unforeseen events, I believe it will be the editing stage of the sequel to The Awakening. This is far from an insurmountable challenge, not least of all because I’ve been through […]
Today, this meerkat has voyaged to the islands of New Zealand, in search of wonder and excitement. What might I find? The answer lies in Māori mythology, and the Taniwha. The Taniwha are said to be supernatural creatures, that live in deep rivers or lakes, and some tales of the Taniwha also place them in particularly […]
It’s been a minute since I last reviewed something, and then shared that review here at Meerkat Musings. I aim to correct this, so here is my review of Legends & Lattes, by Travis Baldree. My Goodreads review: This was a delightful, light-hearted tale that subverts the stereotypical view we may have of certain fantastical […]
Welcome to the latest edition of the Meerkat Muse! Facebook Fails We begin with the events of two weeks ago, when the world briefly melted down due to an outage of Meta’s various social media platforms. I wish I could say that I was immune to this, but my initial reaction was I’d been hacked, […]

Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
What topics do you like to discuss? I like to discuss a lot of things. I’ve been blogging at Meerkat Musings for nearly ten years, and I’ve been active on the web for even longer. In that time, I have found engaging in – and enjoying, to various degrees – discussions about football, Formula 1, […]
