All good @ENKELI its actually good to be able to put it out there and clarify.

Am a muso, need to be grateful for my ears in that area too.

hearing you about too much politics at the moment

hugs

apple

@ENKELI my Retiisi air kisses Mwa Mwa. You do what you need to sweetheart. The only people who talk about politics are people who have never been on the inside of politics.
Can’t get away from the topic even in a sauna. Thank goodness for earplugs.

Retiisi you have EVERYTHING in M-Vegas.

Sooo many people! I’ve only seen traffic like that in Sydney. It’s got to be the busiest suburb here. Wowzers.

I’m starving. I got to eat. BIG HUGS 🫂

Please @ENKELI I hope you're not taking my comments about Donald Trump's LGBTQI policies as a criticism of your voting preferences. His policies on theLGBTQI community are simply horrible...and that he shares with Hitler, he has good policies in other areas, but again, so did Hitler. Hitler had good environmental policies. And yes there are bigotries against LGBTQI people that have always been here, but are getting bolder and gaining momentum politically in Australia at least partly as a result of what's happening in America. That's what I'm saying. Vote the way your conscience guides you to vote, that's what elections are for.

This is a forum in which we can all name those things that are giving us anxiety, and the rise in militant homophobia and transphobia is giving me and my fellow LGBTQIA friends quite distressing anxiety.

The LGBTQIA community is a community that has one of the highest suicide rates in this country, we're also quite often targets of social violence here and around the world, and anxiety makes our situation worse. Also we were the first, along with disabled people to be interned and gassed in the concentration camps under Hitler, and we were the last to be liberated after the war. So the fact is @ENKELI that while you don't have much to fear in this political climate we've a lot to fear. That's what I'm saying, I'm not criticising anyone's voting priorities, that's useless.

@Abner how do you know what I do and don't have to fear? Quite presumptuous of you.

I've been involved in politics for nearly 30 years so I am well aware of how to vote thank you.

While I'm no supporter of him, I do think comparing Trump to Hitler is inappropriate and offensive.

This is why I retreat from the fora.

It may be so in your situation, but not in mine. This man has passed an edict making it illegal for transgender men to use public men's toilets and for transgender women to go to public women's toilets based on hysteria about gender. And along with the British High Court, in the same edict, he has made it US legal policy that there will only be two genders recognised, that takes the legal rights of trans and gender diverse people away, so in that he is playing to Hitler's policy.

I'll add @@ENKELI that one of the reasons why I was so badly defamed for so long was because I'm LGBTQI..

I don't care what your thoughts are. Don't tag me again I don't want to listen to your diatribe. Thanks so much for making me feel unsafe and triggered. Leave me alone

Yes I'm horribly unmotivated too.

BUT I cleaned a big section of my bedroom !!

I know ,.........

I got into so much shock I had a long shower, washed my hair and went to bed.

Eating a pie for lunch at 4 pm.

Ate last nights extremely yummy spaghetti .........

Pondering the tofu thing .. .....,

In bed.

I planned into cleaning the porch out but only moved the very heavy stick Christmas tree.

I can see that you're being respectful @ENKELI and you think I'm not being so, and I'm not going to try to change your mind about that, but sometimes political realities are horrific.
