As the USA descends into a 1933 Germany fascist era, I stand with Canada and Mexico. What is happening in America is terrifying. They are enacting each part of Project 2025 with horrifying speed. It took the Nazi party in Germany 53 days. Might take Trump and cronies less time...

Well, after 5 days of 'Murica descending full pelt into 1930s Germany fascism, thanks to the implementation of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 through their newly installed puppet President, I'm left asking how quickly other nations are going to recognise it for what it is.

Trying very hard to give a certain orange blob no publicity at all in my posts but I have to laugh at the snowflakiness of moving his inauguration indoors because it will be 'too cold' when other, better men have kept theirs outside regardless. Or is it cos of anticipated lack of crowd size... ?

I shall be absenting myself from SM and mainstream TV on Monday evening. It's probably easier in the UK to avoid the orange blob's inauguration as it will be everywhere in the US. I predict that he will claim his crowds were bigger than anyone's, anytime, anywhere. Hope Washington DC has bad weather

Okay. Guys, I do not respond to unsolicited DMs. Please don't send any to me. That's it. Comment on my posts (as long as comments are responses to what I have said), but no DMs. Thanks.

I may not post lots of interesting, political stuff right now. These are interesting times ... but incredibly scary. However, I intend to continue to use my voice to defend anyone and everyone who is targeted by the terminally st*pid/bigoted. I will never shut up.

And off the back of my last post, thank you for the engagement so far, guys. And for pointing out lists. Of course, my followers/followed are my own personal choices so I will still have to partake in a bit of mixing and matching. I'm doing what I can. I'll get there. 😀

Back here again, trying to ascertain strength of engagement. I hate that Meta has now become a place of hate unfiltered and uncensored because of its owner's craven cowardice in kowtowing to a would be dictator. But I have a fab community there. So I will keep trying to curate the same here.

Watching 'I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here' and the constant voting for one person to do the trial I have concluded that society has not moved on from the days of gladiators or the eager audiences at the guillotines. Apparently we want people to suffer for our enjoyment. How sick is that?

Okay. So I gave in and switched on the heating. Looks like a very cold week in store. Might even fill the coal scuttle and build a fire in the fireplace on Tuesday. I do already have crumpets.....

Looks like it's getting colder at the weekend. Decisions, decisions. Do I switch on the heating or tough it out? (Not the most monumental happenstance, I know. But I'm focusing on the mundane right now to regain my sanity)

Hi folks. New on this platform. What's the tea?
