       I don't understand why Thailand (and many other countries) is allowed to protect their culture but countries like the UK and Canada aren't. https://youtu.be/PVAjaWO9CyYIt may appear that Canada doesn't have a culture to outsiders but I can tell you it's very disturbing knowing WHO exactly will take over the 'culture' in this country when the original European Canadians finish dying out. Sorry if that sounds XENOPHOBIC!

       @astarsscreams @ChasingWaterfalls Much the same in my fam. It was intended that their religion be passed along but not the German and Dutch-German they grew up with. Sure "westerners" may not have colourful or extreme practices in our national behaviours, but that's OUR CULTURE. Fed up with people trying to change it for the worse. Fed up with being expected to include the culture of others while my own was wiped out - even though I don't much care about it as we weren't explicitly taught to 'keep the culture' it was implied in everything the ancestors did. Then I don't know exactly what happened. I do remember ages ago in Thailand (early 90's?) and being pestered by I believe it was a Swiss woman tourist who was all bent out of shape because North Americans talk about 'our culture' but we don't even have a 'national costume'. FFSAfter that I didn't give a shit about 'culture' at all. How ridiculous to reduce it to a national song and outfit.

       @AnungIkwe Weird how we knew from the beginning that 'antifa' was fascist. I don't know about you, A, but we first encountered them at ANTI-PIPELINE protests. We were warned to watch out especially for men wearing all black and masks as they were likely to be agents provocateurs, not actually protesters against the money machines' fossil fuel engines. That was around 2004ish? I forget now but certainly long enough ago for anyone with half a brain to realize that their grandfather's generation of actual antifascists IS NOT THE SAME as the current crowd of establishment SUPPORTERS pretending to be all woke and fashionable and all with their cool 'anon' masks.Antifa is the epitome of all false flag operations. They aren't someone's old granddad who's doing the right thing. So get over it @JudasFaulpelz - what kind of a fucking name is that anyhow? You defend traitors to the people while styling yourself a traitor? FFSAnd I'm sure you're no kind of 'reverend' either. It's like you're putting Saul Alinsky's rules into practice while pretending to be 'one of the good guys' just like antifa! LOL do you also support the 'river to the sea' antifascists who state that Israel is now worse than Nazis because they have dared to defend themselves against the establishment? What a bonehead. They are the same people. Yet you claim to be against Holocaust deniers!

       @carolen @HebrideanHecate Of course gay guys are some of the biggest 'hobbyists' so would have torn control away from those who worked in such places and actually gave a shit. I'm so unimpressed with gay men in general these days. But I could be way off track here. Just what I see is the majority of gay men (and a lot of lesbians too) wanting to be THE most progressive of all so they mindlessly support everything to do with sick crossdressers and fetishists. I'm so sick of sex and fetishism. I wish people could STOP making references to it all the time in every little thing.

       @HebrideanHecate I don't get WHERE politicians ARE these days. They seem not to have any experience with reality, nor read anything less lame than their FB buddies. WTF? So much for 'the commons'. Only wealthy people with nothing better to do can be bothered to get into politics these days. It's nothing to do with democracy or being PAID to DO A JOB that involves caring for the people you are supposed to rep.

       Reposting so you can angst with me about the latest fucking troonery forcing its way into my life! Fucking bathroom LURKER! It's so creepy the way this guy lurks about in any room at my day program - with his headphones on. I was about to get more milk for the coffee bar and there he was lurking about THAT ROOM TOO!Could it possibly be any more obvious that he is just practicing his fetish in a 'safe space' where he won't be made fun of? I never saw a single other tranny 'allowed' in the women's bathroom so why this guy NOW? Sure hope our regular female staff person gets back soon so we can have a chat about female safety!RT: https://spinster.xyz/objects/3990facd-1002-438f-a66d-8614bbfa34c9

       @HebrideanHecate They seem to believe they're morally superior to those of us who believe women should have privacy in all things. Also women aren't clamouring to use the mens' bathrooms - that should be a top clue right there!

       I came across this because of the "skimmingtons" in episode 0908 of Midsomer Murders. What is a 'skimming ladle' used to skim?RT: https://spinster.xyz/objects/cb7fe400-42b6-4c28-8a9a-ed93d29b908e

       @HebrideanHecate @virvallis @Flick I've personally never understood the magically overrated appeal of pizza. I put it down to being mildly allergic to tomatoes but for me, there are just so many more delicious things to eat that are less problematic for my diet.For a while there I was just crazy about a type of Persian flatbread which is easily found here. I would just brush it with olive oil then make what was essentially a salad with a fair bit of freshly grated cheese in it (no cukes or lettuce tho) and pile that on top of the flatbread and bake it in the oven. Now that was worth eating. Nowadays I'm off all breads except organically made soda crackers because the flour here (unless you pay a fortune for organic) is full of glyphosate and there is at least one other woman on Spin besides me who's problems likely resulted from 'over-glyphosatiation' or something like that! It's so disgusting and no one is willing to do anything about it here.

       @HebrideanHecate @Flick Compared to alcohol, cannabis is a healing agent for many. I know tons of people who smoke and eat it and none of them are psychotic, much violent. They all lead fruitful lives. IN my entire life I've met one guy who was allergic to it and one guy who was already bipolar and discovered that weed made him more manic. I've known people who say it makes them more anxious but then they just stop using because weed isn't particularly addictive for most people. Yet coke and crack, meth, fentanyl turn people into such zombies, no one knows what to do with them so they are let to rampage and do anything illegal to get MORE. They destroy their fams, friends and clog up the courts. There are bound to be some people who cannot handle any drug yet our whole society is geared towards getting people on extremely dangerous prescription drugs because they are so much more profitable. I do agree that children should not have access to illegal drugs (though cannabis is more or less legal here) and that includes weed. Unfortunately govs of all sorts are shirking their own and the role of society in helping kids to get through life without booze and drugs. IMAGINE that govs would actually help to make a difference in the overuse of drugs but they think money and power are their only real resposibilities. Going easy on dangerous drugs, even the overuse of less addictive and dangerous ones was a stupid stupid move for Canada to make and most of that is because we had a TRUDEAU who is adores ALL the underdogs, ESPECIALLY TRANNIES who have a high rate of addiction issues and now it's WE who were never a problem who have to suffer the consequences.

       @HebrideanHecate @Flick Trouble is no one wants to work with these fucked up people and some believe they can be cured - like 'virtuous pedos'. So let's just put it all back on society again - voila - no need for costly psych wards and rehab and nurses and other mental health practitioners. It's so much more fun for govs to continue to print money to fund their own little vanity projects that don't benefit anyone but themselves.

       @Flick What's annoying about this is that there really isn't a great need for computers and various other electronics to control every aspect of our life and there are other profitable ways to use more abundant resources - like PEOPLE'S LABOUR.  They tried to convince us that rare earths for electronics is such a moral imperative that special ships or other gadgets need to be built so they can scrape together the tiny amount they might find at the bottom of the sea, ALONG with every other single lifeform that lives there. Men just hate the idea that their own nonsense about endless progress is nothing but an egotisitic fuckup. Carnage of Canada thinks pipelines are BORING. He'd rather have data mining or whatever the latest short term electronic fashion might be. He's also so stupid he thinks we don't need to provide anything of value when you can just get computers to put more zeros after every price. MEN MUST GAME and that takes priority over ALL OTHER THINGS.

       @RadicalCartoons @AnungIkwe EXACTLY. "Trans" is just a shortcut that's become politically correct for now. We could call them 'AGP widows' or 'porn widows' or whatever. It doesn't look like perverted men are going to stop convincing women to get into relationships so there has to be some sort of warning for women who are heedless about such things. And YAY for any ADULT woman who's finally started to stop ignoring the problem. They can take what they want out of our women's movement just like they have been all along. Or not. If they don't want the support of other women, that's their prerogative. At the same time, no one can really gate keep a set of ideas such as feminism. Better to ignore the women who are pissing you off because they aren't sufficiently feministic than to try and control the entire narrative so it is WOMEN who end up suffering the most as is usual. Meanwhile the rest of us canaries are still trying to figure out how not to let perverted MEN take away the few gains we've made by pretending to be us. FFS a big clue would be if everyone stopped just believing in any (OLD) new religion or other belief system that comes along. But we know that won't happen as now during every regular cold season, doorknobs don their magical face diapers.

       @AnungIkwe I think a few cracked up, got sick, got old and tired but I recognize a lot of names that are still active. I am curious about what happened to a lot of the women who were protesting locally but I'm now too old and sick to even keep track of my own fam well enough. Even the two that I met here and became friends with IRL don't return my calls or messages anymore. Sad.

       Hey all my friends! Season's Greetings and Happy New Year. Hope you're all doing well. Unfortunately I've been crap and still am. Also need a new keyboard or whole new computer. And a whole new body. I've mostly been playing dolls in SecondLife. Today I watched Midsomer Murders Season 24, episode 1 all about drag and how wonderful it is. They clearly have no clue. It makes me sick to my stomach the way it's been both glorified and made pitiful at the same time. WAH WAH WAH, won't someone think of the poor poor MeN!??!?!?!Grrr. This is terrible for my blood pressure, ARGH. I've been away nearly a month, please let me know if I missed anything good.

       Did I mention I've been watching My Life is Murder, an Australia/New Zealand murder mystery which is actually quite good. Soft pedal on the alphabet soup and so far, only ONe involving drag 'queens' whom the insist MUST be called SHe even when using their male names? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10584446/But this massive effort to what, be fair to men? There are way way too many Female ones to be plausible - maybe to make up for the fact that BOTH investigators are WOMen? I came across this site and the female murderers in most countries are extremely RARe!!! This show takes in NZ and in all of its recorded history there have bee only NINe!!!https://murderpedia.org/country-female/new-zealand.htm

       Bel-Air, a 'serious' remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Episode 5 and we finally meet a doorknob with 'they/them' pronouns who meets the brilliant 12 yr old, Ashley: -No it is not, Ashley. This has been the norm for humankind since before we became homo sapiens! DUH they/thems.

       And finally: is the they/them correct? Why do we need to quantify and pokemon all of the zillion variations of how humans relate to each other at all? Why not just talk instead of LABELLING? Seems like I spent a lot of time trying to get rid of labels while today's naive pronounsters want more and more pokemon.~I forgot, isn't this where the 'good' concept of 'wokeness' began? How it's gone awry!
