No need to ‘follow back’ That’s not my thing Edit: PLEASE don’t follow me expecting me to follow back, just coz you want to increase your numbers. I don’t need followers.

Not really. Folks like me follow, and don’t need followers. If you’re interested in what someone writes or shares, follow ‘em. Is it supposed to be a straight swap? She’s like journalist: if you read her articles, she not required to read ours back.

Creamy milk, beat in an egg and sugar, splash in the rumor brandy, grate nutmeg on top. My nephew in law makes a version that you keep in the fridge for a month to mellow. I’m nervous to make that one, but very happy to drink it!

So, just to be clear- I subscribe, then block the subscription? Is that how it works?

Nonsense. Libellous nonsense at that. Get a grip.

Make it home made, it’s delicious!

Aww, thank you. it took me over a decade to finish coz stuff happened. It’s a copy of an Australian quilt from a book on history of the art in Australia. I HANDMADE it all, I’m pretty pleased with it and myself.

I appreciate your distinction between First amendment advocates, and Free speech advocates. I also like the first comment on the article which draws a line at provable lies and misinfo vs free speech

It’s a wonderful portrait of you. Front hall might be a good place if yo have one. Give visitors a cheeky smirk, but YOU don’t have to catch your own eye throughout the day

I ve been travelling and haven’t kept up here, so I’ve just seen this. It’s so tough and stressful to see loved ones struggle like this, hard to keep yourself going too. Best wishes to Chris, and to you.

I haven’t had too much trouble, I have so few followers I can easily screen and block any fake engagement types and I never automatically follow someone back just coz they followed me. I’ve managed to keep my feed quite clean

Stop spamming this, you’re becoming a pest

Gosh, you’re so clever and satirical.. it’s a confected problem. It’s frothing at the mouth, and it’s derogatory and defaming to trans adults and ESPECIALLYto trans youth. There’s cubicles in Women’s toilets.

More than that they refuse professional hospital back-up.their whole gig is about refusing care from big bad scary hospitals

I wish my cats purred that loudly. I have to rest my head on them to hear it.

Once x castrated the Block function, I came over. I’m still there for accounts that haven’t migrated, but when they do I’ll close up shop. If there’d been a quick easy complete way to mass block trolls Nazis and MAGA, then I’d be fine. Except bloody Elon is poison

I’d much rather the CofE than all those ghastly US mega church White Evangelical outfits.

oh, did I mention the possums!? I’m growing a buffet for them

Love the spreadsheet idea -crossing off a list is my favourite thing! A neighbour is a pro gardener, but she’s too busy to take me on, and can’t spare her assistant. she has to supervise him closely. Ah well, retirement soon, and I’ll try to build a routine..

Just curious-Do you have that dreadful prion disease yet, up Winnipeg way?
comment in response to post
My knees, back, job, and procrastination get in the way. My garden used to be in good shape but it needs a lop, chop, weed and mulch. I estimate 40hrs just to get it back to happy maintenance level. And can you find competent garden help anywhere- No! No one wants to handweed or knows how to prune

I thought it was some wry socio-political commentary that I was too out of the loop to get it.

Wonderful thanks

Can you tell me if subscribing to a block list means I can push one button and block en masse, or do I just go down the list, blocking as I go?

To give him some credit (barely) I believe he means take that final sum and subtract it from HIS age. Still creepy that he even says it and hads a special formula for it.

And Evangelical preachers…

Is this fake- did he really say this?

This could play out like your “What is Marxism?” question

In weeks before election I was getting ad after ad to the most trumpy MAGA-coded weird products, web-sites, newsletters. Real froth at the mouth stuff…mostly disappeared now.

I just ‘censored’ that green symbol guy, coz I’m very tired of that kind of nonsense, keeping my feed tidy
comment in response to post
No one will/should judge you negatively unless you’re horrible. Part of the interest in these sites is having quite different folks intersecting over some shared view or interest, or learning something about something we don’t know much about. Plus often, unfollowing isn’t personal, just tidying up.

This LadySwindlers series is a great combo of dreadful/fun stories, and insights into the society at the time. I’ve only just discovered this series and LadyKillers, so I’ve got a wonderful back-log to work through

Ok, this is extremely cool
