If we did not have the devil / To blame, how could we live?

I confess I only know HL from her profile info. I was interested in her post and the replies - e.g. why are Drs who discuss body dysmorphia under the same transphobic banner as MAGA fundamentalists who are anti anything that’s not straight, white and male. There seems no nuance in X and BSky debates

Ah, case in point. Transphobia is used as an all encompassing blanket, shutdown invective on both X and BSky, but its parameters are never defined.

Where is the line in the sand when people want to discuss this?

Is this a kidnap 🆘 ? 😱

Hope her heart’s holding up ok, if she remembers where it is

Yes, but the chasm maybe too wide? Their principles are diametrically opposed -sex vs gender- both purport to protect the vulnerable. Their supporters are particularly fierce in defence. It’s a minefield on social media. Even ambivalent comments attract angry replies, no neutrality allowed it seems

Defamation, I think. It seems to be about their interactions over on twitter/x from what I can gather

I hope they don’t txt you to say you need to cover custom charges and can they have your bank details …

I suspect that the already well-to-do financial advisors and fund managers will make a fortune guiding their clients towards a more tax-friendly pathway.

I inadvertently tagged hashtag *cruising* after posting a photo of my dog splashing around in the bay. Not the best idea 🙄

I often receive a five word txt from MIL then about three lines of emojis 👍😀🧚‍♂️👠🕺🏼🐶🦋 … 🤦‍♀️

I’ve just deleted an earlier post about 7.30 last night on ABC because I incorrectly referred to Bandt instead of Littleproud, 🙄unfortunately it was reposted and sits somewhere on Bluesky no doubt receiving comments correcting me.

Sorry about that.

Grate post

Knitted beanie and embroidery on the wall. Very nice 🙂

Not on my wavelength 🤔 must be a clique thing

probably just distracting him while his mate keyed his car

Meeting agendas are predominantly about when to schedule the next meeting after the side issue of who to invite to the next meeting

😇 I know

misguided

Then there *umbrella* deterrents. They’re used today to stops rats from climbing fruit trees, a wide cone shape around the trunk. If the store was on stilts or poles that would work. They would have to be made with material tough enough so the rats couldn’t gnaw through it.
Ok, that’s all I’ve got 🐀

Not sure but …
Citrus repels rats. They avoid it because it affects their respiratory system. But, back then citrus trees were probably only specific to certain countries. So local essential oils maybe 🤔
There are also rat snakes which feed on rodents and aren’t harmful to humans.
🤷🤷‍♀️

Good luck!
