What a day!

Have you ever had a day where you just one moment, you’re just up and then you’re down, and then you’re up and down and shake it all about.

When I woke up yesterday morning, I was looking at the fashions of the VMA awards, enjoying them and then “bop” Depp made an appearance and said something like “I’m available for parties, barbecues” blah blah…Ewwwwwwwwwwww, that’s what a bunch of young people want. A creepy old man who wants to have sex with corpses and put out naked pictures of his now ex-wife” hovering above them. Looking for his new girlfriend. Honestly, I think America is just a different planet. But then again, maybe the young girls of America don’t even like him. It could just be the media.

But then the best news came in…

Chris Dawson.

Chris Dawson found guilty of murdering ex-wife Lynette in The Teacher’s Pet trial: as it happened

If you ever find yourself wondering what MalePrivilege is remember this:

Chris Dawson, a wife murdering pedophile, walked free for 40 years because he was a white male footy star with mates in NSW police.

Also remember his lazy, lying mates in NSW police were white men too.

Then I became sad again, as you might see above why. When Lynette Dawson “disappeared” she “left behind two young daughters. Who would probably be about 40ish now. So for a moment, I wanted to cry at work when I found out, but then I wanted to cry for different reasons after I thought about it.

Then I went up again and DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNNNN Taylor Swift, I love your burns. You know if I was an artist, I would probably do all the little Easter eggs and subtle hints as well. I am so happy for her! For YEARS West AND the Kardashians hounded that girl, and for what? Because HE made himself look a total moron.

Taylor Swift fans believe her MTV VMAs look was a reference to infamous Kanye West feud

Is it just me?

Or are people getting stupider on social media, if that is indeed, possible, haha.

I’ve written about a couple of things that happened over the weekend, on here. The stupidity just honestly never seemed to end.

I totally was empathetic and understood about people being upset. What I didn’t understand was the whole saying something stupid, even if you’re upset and then refusing to admit that you probably shouldn’t have said it. Instead of being an adult, being all “Well, my feelings are hurt”.

Like you know how, when you’re upset and you say something stupid. It use to be that you’d apoligise, but these days, people will lash out and then their little social media minions will sit there and attack with you. For example, I follow a lot of different animal rescues accounts, wombats being one of them. So this account I follow, was upset that they couldn’t find this wombat and this person, I felt was just pointing out that it is all “doom and gloom”. Because, well it is.

Well, the account holder had a go and then all these other people, had a go. Calling the person a “troll” and other things that stupid people call others. I popped in and said “Well, I think they were agreeing with you”. How doom and gloom the situation was, because, well it is.

Are you seeing these things also?

Wombats are not pets

Where do we go from here?

Yesterday was…well..it was a day wasn’t it.

I feel asleep crying, woke up saw Texas wanted to cry again. Lunch break I got angry.

Waking up to the news in Texas was heartbreaking enough, but then as the day went on, it just got worse. How are we in 2022 and people are still this cruel?

Firstly someone on the right and anti-trans, decided to photoshop the picture of a completely innocent trans women, onto the body of the shooter. This trans women doesn’t even live in America, let alone Texas. It got SO bad that a lot of the anti-trans “leaders” had to tell their followers to stop sharing the picture. WHY would you have to tell your followers this? Unless you know what was happening WAS WRONG.

And then anti-trans “people” got mad at trans people who were obviously upset about it.

On top of which State Farm decided to back out helping with books for LGBT kids. Because when the Right hear “LGBT” they automatically hear “everyone’s having sex”. Of course when you point out what the books are actually about you’re called a “pervert” and asked why are you sexualising children. Of course, Facebook, Twitter, do zippo.

Guilt

It’s a very powerful emotion.

At the moment, I have guilt about:

• Not taking Travie to the vets straight. Not that they could have done anything. Still though, really could they not have?
• Not writing enough about Black History month or Pride month for the UK, and I think Canada?
• Not doing enough with my stream.
• I just want to save the world, it’s not asking too much is it?lol
• So few things to feel guilty about, but they take up so much!

Thursday Talking – Everything

Where do I even begin with this post? The last 24 hours have been…Well, easy to say a emotional rollercoaster, of very high and very low.

Woke up too hear that “Governor” Greg Abbott has made it so any parent who SUPPORTS their trans child, it’s automatically considered abuse. He is also making it so any teacher, Doctor, you know person suppose to help protect you, HAS to “out” that child.

Later in the day, I heard that Clive Palmer has been taken to hospital with COVID like symptoms. Now for pretty much anyone to get COVID in Australia, the irony (or karma) is so weird with this one. Think of Clive Palmer like Texas’s Ted Cruz. His “party” and himself, have denied that COVID is a real thing. It’ll be interesting to see if he changes from this, though I doubt it.

Too even later in the day, Russia has invaded the Ukraine.

Even a bit later, I got a package that I have been looking forward too.

I mean, when do the emotions end?

The best piece of advice that I can offer is to simply, come off the grid. Even just for a couple of days, rejuvenate and refresh. Remind yourself/ourselves what we’re fighting, remind ourselves what we should be grateful for. Just shake it out and shake it off.

Grief

I was inspired to “write” this post after I FINALLY saw someone in the media, called out Kayne West’s abuse AS abuse, rather than grief.

After losing my own kitty a couple of weeks ago, I am tired of hearing from others that West is just “grieving” and he can do what he wants.

No, he cannot DO whatever he wants. Every day, somewhere in the world, someone is grieving a loss in some way or another. And we’re not all abusing people because we’re “grieving”. Being able to do whatever you want, is not a thing. In fact, I think you’ll find most people are more loving and kind BECAUSE they’ve just love someone or something important.

Grief, can do a lot to you and your life, in general. But it is not some “get out of free card”. if you feel you’re going to be angry, don’t interact that day.

5 ThingsTuesday: Feelings / Emotions you felt most often during the Pandemic — Salted Caramel

The Covid 19 Pandemic is far from over. It has been around for 14 to 18 months (depending on when it hit your region). This is long enough for you to recognise the feelings/emotions you have experienced most often. Desolation When the first lockdown was imposed in my city in March 2020, it came at […]

5 ThingsTuesday: Feelings / Emotions you felt most often during the Pandemic — Salted Caramel

Over at the lovely Dr Tanya (Salted Caramel) she has asked this week (on Tuesday though…For 5 things Tuesday) 5 Things Tuesday: Feelings / Emotions you felt most often during the Pandemic” Now normally I might write these feelings in the comments. However, I decided this time to make a post about it. I think I’ve said bits and pieces how I went. And please head over to Salted Caramel, to write about your feelings and emotions =D

When it first happened, the first emotion I felt was uncertainty and for most people to begin with, there was a lot of that. Within my own circle though, even though everything was new, most people were able to keep their job. So, for a lot of people around me, nothing changed that much. However, I was a casual and had lost my job, because of COVID, my/our contracts just happened to end at the same time. At that time, we thought when everything “calmed down”, we’d all be asked back. Apart from myself, nothing really huge changed. I did lose my dog, my job, a baby tooth and I had to get a new handbag. None of those had anything to do with COVID.

So it wasn’t until about September/October last year that I even started to really depressed. That was because it became really obvious that none of the casuals were being hired back. They hired all new casuals. I don’t know why, but that’s what they did. This when it really started to hit, as a casual, I’m used to not working and the Government had finally brought is some more relief payments. At the time I was getting as much money as if I had worked at work for about 3-4 days full time. So money wasn’t a issue. My partner was still working, my Mum was still working. I don’t actually know anyone who lost employment due to COVID. When I realise though they weren’t hiring us back. That’s when it started to hit me.

One of the saddest I became (apart from my dog obviously) was that all the Libraries were pretty much shut for a couple of months. Which for myself was a “annoyance”, I love taking a walk whether or not I’m returning books. I also love just walking around seeing if there was anything else I’d like, also no one had…or still has…a working printer. The Libraries had a skeleton staff, so we got any books we took out, for longer. I ended up reading books that I had bought, but hadn’t read yet. I think I missed the atmosphere of the Libraries. Most of the time, if I was going to the Library, I would go and have a look in the equivalent to the 99c or $1 type stores. It’d be like a little trip out.

I was happy though quiet a few times, because I thought my partner and I would drive each other nuts. We got on really well though. I don’t live with my partner right now. There would be times though, where I had to stay with him. So there would be times, where I would be happy.

Tired

This is a bit of a cop out, I can’t think of anything to write for the moment. It’s the world…Every single day…

Do people think what they write and say anymore?

Do they listen to the words as they come out of their mouths?

Even though Trump is “gone” why does it feel like we’re still dealing with him?

How can people possibly say that words have no impact, when Trump is still making life changing impacts?

Why are people so stupid?

Have we always been this stupid?

Is it just because we had no social media echo, echoing out every single opinion known to man?

Why hasn’t that died out in the fires of Hell, still?

Why do people keep insisting on tweeting and posting every single stupid thought they have.

(Oh, this doesn’t include you).

And when they’re wrong, instead of remembering to be humble and go “I fucked up”, they double down instead?

Why do people insist we need to help women and girls with education, but they think they know everything and don’t have to “educate” themselves, when they’re a woman, whose working to get women and girls better education.

Questions:

If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make them?

I think it’s a reminder to ourselves, that we are not perfect.

How do we know that pleasure is good and pain is bad?

I think it’s that dopamine? … I think?lol

What problem or situation did TV / movies make you think would be common, but when you grew up you found out it wasn’t?

When I really think about it, it has to be the Cosby’s. Only because though they were such a beautiful family (on tv) that it made me think racism isn’t an issue. Meaning, I didn’t know it was even a thing, if that makes sense? I remember when Oprah was talking to someone about black families on tv, and how “The Cosby’s” was the first show where she saw a black man lay his head loving in the lap of his wife.

Does that make sense? I guess my answer is the opposite of the actual question,lol

If you drive, do you speed when no one is watching?   Have you ever run a red light late at night on purpose, particularly if it doesn’t seem to change very quickly?   If you don’t drive, what minor law may you have broken?

No,I would never do that. You just know that the ONE time you do it, there’s going to be police, right there. As far as I am aware, I have never broken a Law…Although I probably have done jay walking.

What positive things are you finding to do to occupy your time right now?

I am writing and trying to organise my Discord channel, playing YouTube in the background.

QUESTIONS:

Why do we seem to respect the dead more than the living?

You know, I have no idea why. Someone can be this really horrible person and yet when they die, people insist on only talking about the good things they had done. Except for the people who had nothing to do them with anymore when they had died. In a way it’s a good thing, because just because they were horrible, doesn’t mean we are. If that makes sense?lol

Why is beauty associated with morality?  Or not?   (a few weeks back I asked a similar question, but the key word was MORTALITY, not MORALITY).  

I know a lot of people like to do this. But it can also depend on the person, like how some people dislike Michelle Obama, a really wonderful person. Whereas they think Melania is really gorgeous, despite her face being stuck in the same position and joining in with her husbands bitherism.

I absolutely adore Michelle Obama and to me that makes her beautiful. I literally cannot fathom what “beauty” people see in Melania, she’s not a beauty to me, at all. I used to feel sorry for her and could see a sad beauty in her, but once she wore that jacket…She could get lost for all I cared and whinged “I’m the most bullied person in the world”. I even thought her birtherism comments were because all she had in America, was Trump. Nope, I think she’s just generally an ugly person, how else can you explain her getting married to Trump to begin with?

Have gadgets and apps taken away emotions?

Oh, they definitely can do that! It’s all about learning about a nice balance.

Is there a perfect life?  What’s your version of a perfect life if you care to share?

I don’t think there is a “perfect life”. I think that there are definitely perfect moments though.

Gratitude (find another question under the graphic)

If you’d like, please share something uplifting or for which you are grateful.
