A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover …
Whoever finds and publishes this work shall be entitled to all proceeds. I ask only that my name take its rightful place. Perhaps you will even prosper. If, however, you discover that readers are less than sympathetic and choose to dismiss this enterprise out of hand, then may I suggest you drink plenty of wine and dance in the sheets of your wedding night, for whether you know it or not, now you truly are prosperous. They say truth stands the test of time. I can think of no greater comfort than knowing this document failed such a test.
The vicious cycle - as implemented by the Toddler King, sans reasoning skills or human empathy, with only his concept of a concept: "Me win" / Screw everyone / Me "perfect", everyone else disgraceful.
Journalism is not here to validate our opinions, but to preserve a shared language based on facts. Without it, democracy can’t even organise disagreement.
Losing the boundary between true and false — paving the way for autocrats and fanaticism. Trump, Bolsonaro, Orbán, Putin… but also excesses on the left.
I listened to 3 different Moose Hide Campaign Day workshop recordings, including one by the mixed Indigenous guy who I'd dated briefly. I was upset during/after listening to his talk. He lied in it, multiple times & that upset me because people who attended didn't know they weren't given true stories. I promoted the event here before knowing he was going to be dishonest during it & before I burned the bridge between us on purpose. In the recording, he shared some dishonest, embellished stories, which were based on some factual lived experiences & others were life stories full of lies of omissions. I know because he spent 6 months telling me about himself, his family & his lived experiences, daily for hours. Some of the life experience stories he told me about, in depth with details, were the same ones he shared during the recording. He lied & made …

I know because he spent 6 months telling me about himself, his family & his lived experiences, daily for hours. Some of the life experience stories he told me about, in depth with details, were the same ones he shared during the recording. He lied & made his past traumas sound even worse than they were - unnecessary to lie since the traumas were bad enough without any lies. I don't know why some people use lies to obtain more sympathy because life is brutal enough without any lies.
This revelation makes me wonder - did he lie to me about all those lived experiences too & what else was I lied to about? Everything? It also makes me think - not being honest & being given a big public platform to lie to more people does harm to Indigenous peoples. No one should be using public platforms for Indigenous peoples to educate/facilitate cultural teachings, if they can't share/teach with honesty & authenticity. There's many Indigenous peoples who would not lie at all & be better suited at helping to bridge cultural connections.
There was some fascinating reporting today on a forensic lip-reader revealing the words of a whispering Melania urging Sir on when he seemed unwilling to shake hands with (real) leaders at the Pope's funeral.
Consensus: "Her quick thinking saved the day" - avoiding a reckoning with reality as the world watches madness.
