    I keep going to vent then realising I’d be massively oversharing and I live in a very different world to a lot of people.

    I think I need to buy a damn diary

    Alrighty. Quick house tidy, gym maybe, but of chilling out, the practising the new songs.

    Next weekend is birthday weekend, so happy to have a chill one tonight.

    Edit: Some uber drivers shouldn’t have licenses, seriously. Hopefully I won’t need them soon.

    Ted is spaced out. All knots and dags have been removed and he’s been brushed nicely.

    Cupboards are all moved. I am now exhausted, but still need to put away a few things and sweep the decking the cupboards were moved off (and have some stern words to the encroaching blackberries there). And just for fun the people who have made offers have not got back to me to acually confirm a pickup time ☹️.

    Where the cupboards are now has more space so I should be able to take better photos to relist. I might try Gumtree this time.

    Sedatives have been given to Ted, now I just have to wait for them to knock him out before I can groom him.

        He’s getting a little wobbly but he’s still spicy.

        He’s also on a diet. He gets his normal food but I give Bill less. iow, less food for him to steal.

    Things I really really learnt this week.

    Most people are average. After watching Shadow of a Doubt for the umpteenth time I see that Charlie, who is constantly watching the world around her and looking at people and tries to make sense of it is the exception. Her mom, who is a sweet mom and not stupid, just average, sees the same facts but can’t add it all up.

    And I see now that Germans in the 30s really did believe the Blood Libel and other lies. They really did believe the lies that Jews were committing genocide, tho they didn’t use the word genocide as that word hadn’t been coined yet. It took decades of small lies that people were just not smart enough to discredit, see above. I used to think they didn’t believe but because they were prejudiced they went along with it. They really believed because they thought they had facts and they thought it was the right thing to do. They believed the people in authority.

    And no, teaching how to analyse won’t work. They just can’t do it.

    Today is cupboard moving day. I have a bunch of outdoor cupboards in the back yard I need to move to the front so I can sell them. It is a pain in the butt not having good access between the front and back yards. Plus I am going to have to move my car out onto the street until I can get rid of them because there is no space for them. Fingers crossed it won’t take too long.

    Edit: Cupboard moving is not going as badly as I feared. Two have been moved, six more to go. I think I’ll take advantage of the car being out of the carport to pull out the camping gear to list too.

    Events dominate the net and its farken crazy how many people are blaming harris for trump winning.

    The fuck is wrong with that country. Chunks of them chose not to vote, or to purity politic, half of them were stupid enough to vote for the persimmon emperor, how the fuck is it ‘the dems fault’.

    Absolute abrogation of personal responsibility.

      That country is so broken. I’ve only just gotten over my anger due to the significant impact it has on mine and my partner’s future. Still avoiding most of the interwebs.

      Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them? How’s Ukraine going to survive this? What can this dickhead of a loveable punk (me) do to fix it all?

      people underestimate how conservate immigrants can be

      underestimate the influence of religion

      and underestimate how far America has come in removing inequalities, even most Republicans now support all the civil rights changes enacted over the past 5 decades. This is why being told they are racist made them feel upset.

      I do blame Dems for bringing in Identity Politics, it was an active choice in the 70s, it wasn’t about civil rights, it was about targeting voting blocks. What it did do was undo a sense of national identity. People weren’t Americans anymore, they were now Black or White or Latino, etc etc
