TheCathyWilcoxRigthto time for a letter to the editor at The Age
"Neither candidate showed a credible way to fix America. Metaphorically America is now an old man, suffering ill-health, refusing to act to help himself (gun control, public health etc) all the while telling us how good he is. Once an admired figure, America has now become Uncle Sham."
I wonder if i will get 1 Letter published - my first.
Perhaps I should take lessons from my old chum @fyfepeter who has had 600+ published in SMH - http://www.peterfyfe.com/other/smh.html
Dan GillmorTrump tried to overthrow an elected government in 2021, and may actually face justice for it. He's made it clear in his 2024 campaign that he will rule as a dictator if elected.
If Big Journalism won't finally take a stand -- in its news coverage, not just in its commentary -- to protect democracy (and by extension journalism), then it'll be directly complicit.
You can't be a mere observer about some things. This is one of them.
Sunday morning, cold outside and a happy, purring feline friend. Why get up? Time for some pusscrastination.
I'll claim this word as I can't otherwise find it via Google.

Cait the Proud Trans WomanI'm kind of struck by how left-leaning the Fediverse is - after seeing so many right-wing social media sites stumble and bumble their way to ignominy. And I realised - the right want a social media site where they can own the libs, flex and troll. And it's boring trolling each other instead. While for the left, it's more about wanting a site to actually interact in a reasonable way with grown-ups.
Just interesting to note.
Fedi works because it works; Gab and Rumble and Truth and all the other right-wing circle-flappers just limp along without any users, because they don't offer what right-wingers want: targets.
