I can add #uspol to my posts but I will NOT use a CW coz not seeing reality doesn't make it go away especially when it affects others more than you.

You can unfollow me if you are getting too stressed out. Trust me, there are people whose lives are more upended than yours.

The least you can do is read about it and hopefully, call your elected representatives...every day. Don't know what to say, here's some tips - https://5calls.org/

I must have read "I have no mouth, and I must scream" by #HarlanEllison decades ago.
It's one of the scariest things I've read in my life.
Yet I've not read much else of his writings.
I've just gone through "jeffty is five" and it's a masterpiece.

Trump "is parroting a regular supply of Kremlin talking points stemming from somewhere yet unknown, altering the course of the largest war in Europe since the 1940s. ...

Only one strategic interest has been served by Trump’s radical rewriting of the global order in the past fortnight. And it is that of the one adversary NATO was founded to confront."

“Boeing is at least three years behind schedule and has already booked $2.4 billion in losses on the contract. Decisions made during Mr. Trump’s first term in office are themselves a factor in the delay, said recently departed Air Force officials who helped run the program.”

Come on. Be better. You cannot host a website in 2025 that lists people as “targets” and expect to keep your hands clean when someone is harassed, hurt, or worse.

I’m in London. LOOK at the 1st edition of the UK Edition from Gollancz 😍! As a book lover, I had to take 5 minutes to admire. My copy is the FIRST first edition.

It’s like a mysterious piece of technology (so…apt, 😏).

"With Cocospy and Spyic, you can usually enter ✱✱001✱✱ on your Android phone app’s keypad and then press the “call” button to make the stalkerware apps appear on-screen — if they are installed. This is a feature built into Cocospy and Spyic to allow the person who planted the app on the victim’s device to regain access. In this case, the feature can also be used by the victim to determine if the app is installed."
