@Chronic-Yonic @kfaythe87 @WDI_USA @mk I don't think it is about being better organised in the UK. It is more that trying to do anything here is like herding cats.
At times it is very frustrating and especially when you are part of a business, political group or national organisation trying to get things done or when someone you disagree with suddenly gets a lot of traction. Overall though I love how unruly we are and how, despite our historic and cobbled together constitution and laws, we often do good stuff. -

@Chronic-Yonic @kfaythe87 @WDI_USA @mk That is good advice for building a safe GC/feminist network. I suggest that at the same time you try to find some safe local groups. These will not be places to discuss feminist, gender or trans issues but just to connect with either like minded women or just good women.
I get a lot of support from my local book group and a local volunteer organisation I am part of. At the book club we do not talk directly about gender ideology but have discussed books where this does feature. The conversations have been less scary than I worried about before hand and the other women were interested in what I had to say about why I was uncomfortable about a trans character in one book. It turned out other women were unsettled by that book too. Even if they were not coming from the same place as me we found a lot of common ground. -

Not been online much because of family stuff, the world news has been so awful and social media is even more of a cesspit than usual.
Best wishes to all good people and please make sure you say the important things to your loved ones or people you need to reconcile with while you can. Do not wait for a better opportunity as sometimes they are gone before you get that last chance. -

I use spinster via Chrome on my laptop.
Recently the pop up box that appears when I want to add an emoji appears so low on my screen I only see the top of it and cannot actually select an emoji. When this happened before I could close the emoji box and when reopened it would be in a different position on the screen so I could use it.
Has something changed with Spinster or is this just a problem for me?
I can live without emojis but it is annoying. Help appreciated.

This afternoon I listened on spotify to the Jordan Peterson podcast with @PosieParker. It was good to hear KJK talking in a calm conversation which was focused on exploring her point of view rather than shouting her down. At times Peterson was rather professorial and went into long explanations but it was mostly very good and Peterson had a better grasp of KJK's humour than many interviewers.
Well worth a listen but you need a bit of time as it is over an hour long.

Since the Twitter limit fiasco I have hardly been online and it has been so good to have a good break.
I am going to try to keep to just occasional peeks at Twitter and not get drawn back into lots of scrolling. I like when people here post links to relevant Tweets which I can then choose to check out or not whilst avoiding all the nonsense. Thank you Spinster!

I know Janelle Monae from the photos of her in a vulva costume and her role in Glass Onion (Knives Out sequel) but I could not name a single or album by her.
Maybe other Spinsters are better informed and can tell me if there is anything worth looking into given she has been trending all day on Twitter for flashing her breasts or is she just another female pop star doing what they must to sell their music and get media attention. 🤷♀️ -

This is a striking graphic showing how drag is very different from other forms of cross dressing and gender non-conformity such as pantomime dames and roles in dramas.
Drag is highly sexualised to appeal to the desires of some adults and is now being used to break down social boundaries and promote queer/gender identity ideology. Those who cannot see this are choosing to put children at risk.
