It's been longer than usual since I last wrote anything. Have I nothing to say?
Well, truth be told, these last two weeks have been taken up by some very difficult problems.
So I was glad when my next door neighbour invited me to lunch last week as I thought it would make a nice break from insurance claims, tax calculations, family issues and other troubles ... but then he had a meltdown about geopolitics. He is terrified of nuclear war and the Ukraine situation, not assisted by online algorithms' plugging him with stuff that he "might also like", i.e. reinforcing his outlook of fear and hopelessness.
I and my family for generations have worked in international affairs and I have more sang froid about the current situation, but the fake news, prejudice and propaganda reinforcer that is the modern internet has got him rattled, despite his good educational and professional background. It's more than high time for governments and rational people to get to grips with the chaos of AI fakes, the jungle of junk you find online, and deal with populist grifters, too.
So when a TGirl is frustrated or stressed or upset, what does she do?
She gets frocked up, of course!
I hear that Princess Diana's "revenge dress" is up for auction. So as I've recently been reunitied with my littlest little black dress, I thought it was time to try it on again. Thanks to my slimming regime this year, it fits me again. So here's one trans woman's defiance of all the stupidity, violence and malignancy out there. I am trans and I am cute and the world is better with trans cuties in it.
I managed an outdoor shot before sunset, too.
You can see I've developed quite a tan in this boiling hot summer.
It's so good to be a girl. Everything seems much calmer and less worrisome when you have a dress, heels and makeup on.

Ah, geopolitics; lovely 😁 Meanwhile, the unregulated rage farms and targeted psyops bunkum step up a notch. 🙂 But it's not all good news! 😉 I hope the meal was nice, though.
ReplyDeleteOn a related note, Mrs J and Youngest were working their way through a documentary about the 60s in the US. The behaviours of Nixon and more modern regimes are quite surprising. Perhaps they shouldn't be, but here we are.
Earlier in the week, I was watching some gaming related video content and I don't sign in to YouTube for that. As the video about how to update your graphics finished, I looked down the Recommended Content.... third was a video from a well-known racist, offering 'get the facts*' following long-term investigative journalist exposé on their alleged activities.
* I feel there are some who would not know 'the facts', if said facts arrived in a chorus line, high kicking, waving placards, and signing "ooo, we're the facts".... as the elevator doors opened 😉
In other news, that dress looks lovely on you. I hope you felt very glamorous!
Thanks, Lynn. And thank you for the nice remarks about the dress which is very old but I'm happy it fits again.
DeleteTBH, the best thing about the meal at my neighbour's was the mineral water. So it was a pretty lousy afternoon altogether. That's why I needed a good glamming up!
Ah, yes, "get the facts", closely followed by "you've been LIED to about ..." and "the real TRUTH about ..." followed by a truly-scientific-and-no-way-AI report on how Zarktoid aliens made the earth flat for Jesus, and the like. And if you don't believe me, "do your own research".

Wait up: the Zarktoids are in cahoots with the wizard carpenter? The plot thickens! 😁
DeleteThings most definitely do seem much calmer and less worrisome when you have a dress, heels and makeup on. The dress looks fab on you xx
ReplyDeleteYou said it, Carla. Thank you so much for the nice compliment. Sue xx
