The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.
This still sits with me even after all these years. The trauma of that and other mental and emotional abuse I received over the years still causes me a lot of pain and anguish, and I still have a lot of learned behaviour to unlearn. 4/4

Putting words in my mouth about appeasing racists because at no time have I said that, nor have I denied her talent. As creatives we have a responsibility to keep pushing boundaries, but we also have a duty of care and causing contraversy for the sake of it is never going to be the right thing to do
24.02.2025 17:25 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Not weird at all. I personally think it's important to have these kind of discussions and I've had some brilliant ones with fellow creatives about it.
From a creative and LGBTQ stand point it is ground breaking and exciting, but right now things for us are very volatile.
Not equal at all but it's important to discuss it.
Right now the extreme right wing want to shoot us down at every turn, we are getting the blame and a lot of hate right now. There's been a monumental shift in world politics and opinions for the worse.
Because a lot of the energy that is generated up here in the Highlands isn't for our benefit, it goes down to England

We're not idiots in this country. We had one school shooting and we locked down big time and haven't had one since. The US has shootings, drills, and lockdowns every day and they still want to protect their "rights" to fire arms!

The post is literally asking for discussion and debate. The question of "Is now the right time" is a perfectly reasonable one. So instead of attacking me, do what my post says and discuss it, debate it, challenge it if you want, that's the whole point of the post.

We're not perfect, but we do not arrest people for "praying at home". We simply protect people seeking abortion services from religious nutjobs.
You bunch of cunts.
JD Vance attacks Scottish abortion clinic buffer zone law, says it infringes religious freedom not to allow fundamentalist nutjobs to harrass women exercising their right to control their own bodies. That clown's far right politics are not wanted in Scotland.
