I feel that people these days are on constant Witch hunts. As if there is some great prize for rooting out anyone who does not strictly and completely adhere to the public's expectations/ demands. Its like walking/ talking around in a big trap with a hair trigger. Why do they want to live this way?

A quote (as I remember it) from "An American in Canada" a TV show on CBC TV. - "The rich person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least."

OK. So you hate Israel, hate Palestine, hate Iran, HATE HATE HATE. They are all just people. Who are you really hating? Mona with the Children - Never forget Doug Cameron's song and the real young woman who was murdered for the hatred of others. youtu.be/KEyaGAFvFKQ?...

That's not how the Royals handle things. They keep silent and wait for it to blow over. It doesn't always work but its all about reputation for them.

I've been thinking the same thing. We don't know if Andrew is actually guilty of anything. It seems if he really were guilty they (British police etc) would have done something more about it. Taking away his title and moving him away is just to cater to public mania. It isn't saying he is guilty.

I haven't been giving it a lot of attention, but is Prince Andrew Windsor actually guilty of anything? Seems its just guilt by association with Epstein. That doesn't seem like enough to vilify someone. Epstein knew and worked with a lot of people in entertainment, and more. Are they all guilty now?

Lastly, I use Chyrp Lite for my main site. thatgrrl.com/blog It's great as a CMS. Your markdown editor is a little better, especially now that I have solved the sticky toolbar.

One other question. If I activate the columns to edit side by side, how do I get out of them? It covers the sidebar in WP so I can't save or publish. So far I couldn't find a way to get out to the one column screen again, with the sidebar. I'm probably just missing something.

I read that (skimmed/ read) I thought it was about making columns. It seemed a great idea for writing in 3 languages. I didn't understand about the sticky toolbar. That's great. Just what I was wishing for.

@surf.social My device is not on your list. I use a PC. No mobile/cell phone.

Thank you.

Markup Markdown plugin for WordPress. www.markup-markdown.com Its working so far. I hope its an alternative to the block editor with WordPress. So far so good.

@pfefferle.org Is there a way to post bluesky posts to a WordPress, or other, site? This would save me SO much time. I could just edit and expand on what I've already written.

Do they really have snowflake tires? I don't have a car anymore but those would have been my first choice for new tires.

Yesterday I had a tooth pulled out. Other than pierced ears I've never felt I wanted to try body modification. Now, I don't have to. Let them try dental body modification. No doubt someone has done it. (Mine wasn't cosmetic).

A writing related joke I found in my old blog posts.

Circuit board tree art. I can't think of anywhere to put it, but I like it. www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1...

Anna and the Apocalypse - Wikipedia

I've seen Shaun of the Dead. It was very good as comedy horror. Another really good one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_an... I had to search to remember the name. I watched it twice, and I'd watch it again still.

Sounds like a Halloween story. A missing woman, never actually missing, something oddball like that.

Halloween ASCII art, my own. #ASCIIart @lovehorrorfam.bsky.social asciiartist.com/ldb/hallowee... Not very horrifying but is what I like to do.

@lovehorrorfam.bsky.social I found your site linked by @theaoryanfiles.bsky.social When I searched for your name (I was curious) this is what came up on top. It works for Halloween and horror. Happy Halloween!

It sucks a lot more when more and more of them are your same age, or not far enough from it.

I remember that woman and that look, but I can't think of who she is and what movie/ show it was from. I prefer a creative story, not showing a lot of killings, or sex. I like old movies where all you see is the door closing, maybe a shadow at most.

so cool to see both how far we've come and how many tricks we still (in some form) use

I like watching old movies for the things people would not dare to show now. Realty is kind of smothered these days.

Have you seen inflatable costumes? This is a first for me. How does someone wear it without suffocating? It does look like someone is inside the costume, not just a lawn ornament thing. amzn.to/3LoIqpG
