I've had several people, including a gay person try to convince me how great it is to live there.

Honestly disgusts me the things people are willing to ignore for a bit of comfort.

There's a shallowness to a lot of people that is able to turn a blind eye when they see fit.

You can arrive with a suitcase in Spain. You might leave in a suitcase in Saudi.

And drink beer and wine, and talk back while not being battered and assaulted by your husband owner who your father owner sold you to.

Sure but beaches.

My daughter spent January in Saudi for work. Was constantly harassed, followed into bathrooms and actually spat at in public.

Oh my goodness! I'm certainly not saying Spain is misogyny free, especially here in the Campo, but wow!

And have an alcoholic libation should you so wish.

I may as well have been in Saudi from that perspective lately!

I hope there's light at the end Al. I'm contemplating a beer on Día de Andalucía tomorrow. 🙏

Want to do at least 6 months. Sadly sin alcohol beer is heavy on the calories so sin gin is the way or water

emmagee.bsky.social•3 days ago

Understand completely. I've had a few sins, but can't really see the point (I'd have them out) of piling the calories for no effect ha ha.

Saudi’s the same old oppressive, corrupt, murderous Saudi with a new PR company.
