heh 😁

surveillance-fear can be taken a bit far, though - i know a lady who takes the battery out of her phone when she goes to collect her cat from the cattery..so "the Chinese" cant track her. i dont know if she means all people of Chinese descent or the government of China but i'm pretty sure none of them give a flying faroo where she boards her cat...she is a Sky News zealot, though, and as a result is afraid of everyfknthing...sigh..

back to showing solidarity: during the last referendum, someone complained about the Aboriginal flag being in a hall (voting place) to such an extent (newspaper and facebook outrage) that the poor old dears who ran the hall took down the flag just to make for a bit of shoosh. Come polling day and the foyer floor of the hall was scattered with tiny little bits of paper with the flag coloured upon them; people were just bringing in a tiny flag or two and dropping them 😀
it probably didnt do much to sway anyone's vote but it did give much support to the people of the Gunditjmara nation and has bouyed spirits very much following the totally shitful result of the referendum.

*A great comment!! So true. That is how the Great Potato Famine happened in Ireland. Starving people - but the 'Powers That Be’ still shipped food out of Ireland and to the wealthy.*

I've got french fries frying in cast iron on the stove. I set a timer to 5 minutes so I won't forget, and the entire batch is burnt to Hell. I'm a refugee from 'The Land of Multi-Tasking'. Even now I've got so many different things going on in different directions that I crash into myself. Hahaah!
While peeling and cutting up the potatoes I thought about you and the "severe vitamin D3 and B12 deficiency" that contributed to your loss of hearing and other super powers. I'm so sorry that happened you, and whatever the circumstances were that that caused such a thing to happen.

From working in dark rooms with the only light being from computer monitors, I also developed a number of vitamin deficiencies including D3 and B12. Eating junk food at my desk didn't help either. Continual high stress, deadlines, anxiety, nightmares, no proper rest or exercise, addiction to caffeine and cigarettes. Ughh, I'm fine now - not a complete walking wreck. I hope you're doing better and you are in good health.
- So - I was thinking such things as you may have limited surface land- but within the limits of building ordinances and permits, you could build up, and under you land space. I'm sure you've already thought of such things. With all the extra money you're making, you could do many things.

And - it does take a village to survive. People contributing what they can, including great skills like yours. I think of the incredible skills and humanity of Miss Muse and Andrew - that they share with all of us. Oh! My Gawd!! In comparison, I'm a snail inching my way on a city sidewalk! But I do try to contribute things of value - of one kind or another.
