Re: I love JK Rowling so much <3

I read most of the Harry Potter books and enjoyed them a lot. If I had been a child reading them they would have been my favorite books of all time. I never have understood the controversy over her words, which when examined are very straight forward and even compassionate. Her first 'controversial'...

Re: Anti Vax Prevalence

Okay guys this is about the point where I cannot keep up with all of this in one day anymore. This forum is lit and I'm all about this. Did not expect such a wide response in the end and I appreciate it all. I'll aim to be back and finish reading these comments when I'm up! -Russly I always look fo...

Re: Another really good and credible thread on how to prevent covid transmission

Great source of info. Thanks for providing it. I wear a mask anytime I am in an enclosed space where people gather that is not my home. I made the effort to find a type of mask that fit me well. The exterior is cloth with a compartment for a filter. I fitted an N59 mask within the compartment and ma...

Re: Anti Vax Prevalence

There is absolutely an issue in making sure that trans-people have safe access to the needful things in life. I feel for you and I want you to have these things. And also: Their is a law you are called to vote upon- weather trans people can use the regular public bathrooms... As a result of that, no...

Re: Anti Vax Prevalence

Interesting take LinguisticTaco. Identity, Perception, Biology. That really does sum up a lot of the 'personal trans experience' as far as I see it. Everything is highly nuanced and not this black and white issue that it gets hyped up in the 'don't question the trans' TRA and woke crowd. So Zombie s...

Re: Anti Vax Prevalence

No doubt that life can be hard at times and it sounds like you are going through tough times indeed. Try your best not to 'spoil for the fight' - most who disagree do so only on certain points and not on the value of your existence. It is easy to believe the whole world is against us when we experie...

Your experience is that - your experience. No one else can validate nor invalidate it. We are all entitled to our own views.

Re: Anti Vax Prevalence

Nothing we say will change another person's strongly held beliefs. Belief vs belief is a pointless argument. We all believe what we do based on so many subtle and non subtle things - based on our life experience which is different from person to person. So, you say he says 'men can't be women' - or ...

Re: Anti Vax Prevalence

For me the common thread through all of it is the push back against what the 'woke' and 'government' and 'patriarchy' promote. Tat questions and scrutinizes all these things. The message is still anti-porn and anti-prostitution but it also is not afraid to push hard against the blatant requirement t...

Re: The Russly Diet

What a list that is. It always amazes the differences in people's diets, especially those who trend towards a 'healthy' way of eating. I think when we focus on what we eat and how it effects us our food choices become extremely specific. Just wanted to give a shout out to the jasmine green tea - one...

Re: October 22, 2021: Unperson 31

you mean this one, right? Yeah, people distrusting vaccination because of the push on gender bullshit it's one of the horrible ramifications of the whole genderqueer issue. Reforcing anti-scientific feelings within the major population who's illiterate in science. It also comes from a common miscon...

Re: What We Know About Covid, the Flu and the Air We Breathe

Thanks for sharing that link. It has always puzzled me that there has been such a push back against masks. A well fitted mask is comfortable to wear and within just a few moments you forget you are wearing it. To be fair, it does take a little time to get used to the feeling and to get used to the s...

Re: Well Anyway....

I think a case can be made that being skeptical of the way the vaccine is being 'marketed' is not the same as being 'anti-vax'. And to me that seems to be Tat's message. We are being asked to follow the science when the scientific evidence is scant (due to lack of time to truly study this virus) and...
