Come into my comments defending and excusing Netanyahu’s genocide and I will block you faster than you can scream “antisemite” at me. Members of my family are Jewish. We don’t play those games with fair criticisms of political parties and their leaders.

@KatM
like those we lost too young here in the US, I wonder what a different world we would be if Rabin was not killed or even if Sharon (whom I disagreed with 80% of the time) did not die early, he was on the cusp of a lasting peace deal.
I support the human dignity of all the peoples of the region.
I’ve been called many derogatory names in my life, I have a thick skin.
I agree, I will also immediately block anyone who is a bully to myself or those I support.

@KatM agreed. I have many connections with Jewish friends and family. Many who were holocaust survivors. I’ve also been friends with people who survived the Lebanese civil wars..
I’ve tried to not share my views on my socials in respect for peoples different life experiences and views. My apologies if I offended anyone out there in the world.

It's extremely strange to me, as someone who was born during the Vietnam war, that once again we've got the military (militarized police) starting to encircle college and university campuses because students haven't been fully indoctrinated yet and think it's a bad idea to wipe a country off the map with high explosives.

The lack of generational memory is just astonishing to me.

@chriswho @LALegault I’ve seen way too much selective reporting on the protests as well.
We see one, two minute clip of something with some slanted commentary and nothing on what may have provoked the confrontation five minutes earlier..
I have become more and more disappointed with anything resembling actual news reporting..

@chriswho @LALegault I stopped trusting them back when Rove funneled fake stories during Bush, Jr. then they started using Twitter clips as real news. Sad what happened to journalism.

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 174 , Friday 19/04/2024

TL:DR Friday - happened ! ; went for walkies; dizzy spells have returned 🙄🤦‍♂️ ; super clean extraction fan !
Morally corrupt energy companies & PMs !

Friday dawned bright but with the threat of rain on the horizon. With this firmly in mind I leapt semi athletically out of bed , hobbled downstairs , sorted breakfast & got ready to venture forth.

The clock had barely registered 7am when I braved the cold & romped into the great outdoors.
I have to say our hill is a killer ! It’s not massively steep (at least not until you get near the top) but it is a constant gradient for the first 500m & I always know how fit I am by how fast I climb this initial stage & how knackered I am when I reach the road that runs at right angles to ours. Currently I am not very fit at all !

I kinda speed walked the first Km as I wanted to avoid the impending downpour , & as I was ahead of schedule I tagged on an extra few metres to prove I was making progress.

Back home again I hung the laundry out & tidied up after herself. She was in the office today so peace reigned supreme!

I really wasn’t feeling like joking the human race this morning so I lurked at the edge of the Fediverse while watching 2010 - the sequel to 2001 A space odyssey.

I went wild after lunch & cleaned the bathroom extractor fan - a job that has been delayed by MH & physical health issues. I nearly came to a bad end today when a dizzy spell caught me on the way down the ladder.
Yes sadly a mix of last weeks EDF conflab & todays attack on those suffering from MH issues by the UK PM has set my dizzy spells off again. By happy coincidence the ENT consultant my GP referred me to called for an update today , she reckons a trip back to the cardiologist is a really good idea - if my GP can get their finger out !

I felt more myself late this afternoon & ploughed headlong into my TL , much fun was had by all involved !
I am awaiting the result of a poll to see if I should have a name change even as I write this .

Final Thoughts.

Flipping EDF - their morally bankrupt behaviour is even now affecting my life !

I find the folks in the Fediverse a constant source of wit & support , luvs yer all !

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

@KatM @laurahelmuth great question!

oldredsubby,
@oldredsubby@sfba.social avatar

@laurahelmuth @KatM It is a great question to ask .. I’ve wondered that over the years too, but was unable to ask anyone.
My dad used to ask this same question about how oil & gas drilling will have effects on the earth, and we all Pooh Poohed him. Boy were we wrong..

I found the best answers are from questions you never thought of.
Thank you

Long chat with a neighbor, who was high ranking govnt personnel working in war zones, now retired. We discussed Gaza and Biden’s military support for Israel. S/he conveyed that we can’t expect Biden to abandon Israel over possible war crimes because they backed us in the Iraq war - and they know our hands were not clean under Bush/Cheney. S/he basically suggested that because of Bush II’s war in the ME, the US cannot demand a cease fire without risking exposure of our own closeted skeletons.

@KatM that has always been my biggest fear living next to a base.
A whole community trained to used weapons living next to us.

Having family who work & worked for the military, I’ve seen changes in them which are concerning as well..

last time I talked my brother who lives in Port Ludlow he was talking about being fearful of driving on Aurora Ave. in North Seattle. All I could do is try to reassure him it is safe. Sad..

@KatM I’ve always liked there. My brother & my sister in law have lived since there still was a fully down at Shine. When they took the tolls off the bridge it really changed the feel of the area..

@KatM it is nice. My sister is in sequim. Not sure I want to live that close to them though…

Remember, anything attached to the internet can be hacked!!
I just read another story where hackers are able to access the brightness settings in your computer to act like a camera. So even, like me, you cover your camera with electrical tape when not in use, hackers can still use the settings on your system to spy on you.
My main takeaway from this story is: Beware of those evil toothbrushes!
