Took myself out to a gay bar in Edinburgh solo. My social skills have entirely atrophied.

I just realised... after 20 mins, the weird guy across the bar giving me evils... is my reflection.

I've not yet seen anyone answer this and provide a reason that isn't suggesting either:

A) You're just silly dumb dumbs

Or

B) Something really cuckoo bananas that somehow becomes deeply antisemitic...

Out of interest... if the big evil secret plot is that the 'loony left' are all trying to 'trans' the kids... Why? Seriously, why?!!!

If we're so desperate to do this to ALL the kids, and it's not because of... reality... what is it?!!!

I have this feeling that there has been a lot of historical erasure of queer folk (mostly unintentional) by people taking an ambiguous word from a dead language and presuming the context because of their own identity... /3

Desperately I want to know what the ACTUAL Akkadian word is used on tablet VIII when Gilgamesh 'covers his head like a bride'.

Call me paranoid, but the 1990's translation is feeling veeeeery 'they were just friends' and I do not trust a straight classicist... sorry but I don't! /2

Ok. This is driving me crazy and I am falling down a rabbit hole!!! Help.

In the Epic of Gilgamesh the relationship between Enkidu and Gilgamesh is translated as 'beloved' 'brother' 'friend' 'partner' and 'companion' depending on the translator. 1/

Some may shout 'psyop' and yeah, it can be, but what I see is more basic. People wanting a 'win' a moment of 'clout' over integrity. That human weakness sadly crosses political lines.

I'm probably naive and gullible. I'll admit it; I'm not built for a world where you can't trust anything you see or hear.

But whilst it IS a minority, I hate to see people seemingly pushing for equality and justice using these tactics. It's destabilising.

I expect the extreme right to lie. But I'm exhausted when I see the left editing images, using AI and misrepresenting things. The truth is enough, we don't need to stoop to the level of liars and tyrants.

Today we moved my father into a care home.
Today has been one of the worse days of my life.
Today has been an enormous relief and release.
Today my mother can start painting again.
Today I had to hold my father and cradle him.

Human emotions are an insane cocktail...
