For some reason I got back into Die Antwoord. I know they are Wildly Problematic to say the least but for some reason I cannot resist them. There’s something about the shocking trashiness and the Afrikaans that just does it for me and those videos are absolutely genius. It’s also really hard to tell with them what’s part of their act or not.

I don’t know what to do when I like someone’s work who is attached to a scandal. I also adore Shangela, for example. What do you all do?

I’m a practicing Christian that goes to church every Sunday, and yet I believe in abortion and birth control like I invented them. I love babies and hold one most Sundays during the sermon and think they’re a miracle, but also if you don’t want to be pregnant don’t for one second hesitate to have the abortion. Your life matters way way more than some cells.

Adore purple! I love this idea!

We are friends then. Big hug to you.

Thank you so much. Losing an Internet friend is such a weird grief isn’t it?

Especially when there are shitheads like Republicans and pedophiles and Nazis who don’t deserve years like that.

I could just kiss you.

Someone at work bought me macadamia nut milk when I went vegan, it was at Costco for a while, and man that was good. They don’t carry it anymore and it’s not in regular stores I’ve seen.

Every single day. I am someone who people just really open up to. I don’t know what it is but I have the craziest conversations.

I think my friend I always talk to on Lemmy has passed away, he had cancer and was on a palliative ward when we last talked due to fungal infection, and was awaiting debulking surgery for the tumour. I’ll miss you friend. Your messages made me feel happy.

Ignoring abuse.

I didn’t say it was healthy, I just said I’ve improved at it.

I was reading legal cases of divorced parents, one who wants to vaccinate their children and the other who doesn’t, this weekend. The judge always sides with the parent who wants to vaccinate.

I thought I was smart. I’m not. I’m clever and good at figuring things out, but there is a difference.

Good for you because morning Mormons are batshit.

It’s Thanksgiving here. I have church, that’s about it. I don’t eat meat so Thanksgiving is just a long weekend with cranberry sauce and sweet potato to me.

So very good!

Now that I’m vegan these articles are so bizarre to me. Oh the price of corpse has gone up? And the industry that produces said corpse is price gouging? That’s nice I’ll have these lovely inexpensive chick peas for dinner and not participate in death and abuse and rape, and my health will be better for it. It’s pretty easy to do.

We have an incredible local park with a great greenhouse that has tables you can sit at and read and have coffee.

The fact I won’t be able to retire. I don’t have the money because of financial abuse from my SO. I honestly don’t know what I’ll ever do. People in my city are living in tents in the park and I assume I will have to do that. I’ll have a good pension but it won’t be enough for the cost of living as it is now.

(Please don’t suggest I leave, as kind as you all are, I cannot afford it).

I don’t think you can. I very gently tried to dissuade a church friend from weaponized disinformation websites by explaining what that was, and he unfriended me and stopped coming to our church and told the pastor we were too liberal. Well we always were so it was just a matter of time before that sunk in, so I don’t imagine anything would have stopped that, but I felt bad. I just didn’t want him getting sucked in to Tucker Carlson because he is a sweet guy and deserves better, but he also seems to have gotten religion because of a psychotic episode so I’m not sure any of this is a good idea for him.
