Still in moderation! I give up.
Ha! Nicely conceived and put! I'll certainly try to enrich the mix. (Once I'm released from containment) (At the weekend, a thoughtful potter told me that traditional Chinese potters peed into their in-the-ground clay resource because the nitrogen in the ...
More from Ursula - and it's really good!! "In a sentiment that calls to mind Nikki Giovanni’s magnificent ode to what amoebas know about love that we don’t, Le Guin writes: My private model for intersubjectivity, or communication by speech, or conversation...
Thanks very much, moderator!
Regularly, Anne, but only so I can see what's going on above the fray :-)
"Every act of communication is an act of tremendous courage in which we give ourselves over to two parallel possibilities: the possibility of planting into another mind a seed sprouted in ours and watching it blossom into a breathtaking flower of mutual ...
"Matt Doocey says, “What I want to be very clear about – we should be having gender affirming healthcare where we’re supportive of people and are inclusive.”" What a dreadful thing to say!! "sarc https://pointofordernz.wordpress.com/2024/04/17/matt-doocey-...
Test Still in moderation! Not fair. There has been no indication of how long, no consensus for the need to constrain me and no invitation to absolve myself from whatever transgression I may (or may not have) made. Not fair.
Bottom trawling. Still in moderation: why?? Unfair.
Snapshot: “I literally just got punched by some man on the sidewalk,” Brand said in the video. “He goes, ‘sorry,’ and then punches me in the head.” “What the hell is happening?” said Brand, who could not be reached for comment." https://www.stuff.co.nz/...
So, for the moment, I'm hampered, like a horse that's forced to carry extra weight :-) When might I be released from this impediment? Is it a matter or (your) discretion? Are there guidelines you follow, or is this a matter of Royal Assent?
I too, am commenting sincerely and can't understand your response, if it was addressed to me - sometimes it's hard to tell with this format. If it's me you are addressing, I can say I'd never mock your comments because I believe them to be sincere and ...
I'm being held in moderation - is this fair? Is there a justifiable reason? My comments are subject to decision by someone else, where everyone else has free rein/sovereinty to comment.
As predicted - what do you suggest?
I wrote: "The list of groups who find it hard to be here ..." and by "here", I meant TS. This isn't a "feminist online space", is it?
Adolescence and identity formation. Trauma there can manifest in many ways later on. Anger around being told what to do, especially regarding body-sovereignty, seems not to fade over time.
Thanks, weka. Intriguing to hear about a then-proposed sister site. It would be interesting to read its proposed kaupapa etc. The list of groups who find it hard to be here could include neurodivergent people as well. All of those folk probably feel the ...
Thank you, Joanne - I had truly wondered how it might be.
From the video's comments: "The best music to listen to being stuck in space together after unimaginable trauma"
Doubtless you are correct, roblogic. I felt those same drivers resulted in much of what happened on Parliament's lawn at the time Trevor Mallard was going through his Barry Manilow period.
Fair enough about spatting, weka. With regards the reasons for feminist authors and commenters leaving the site; I just don't know. If there were reasons expressed and I'd read them, I'd perhaps know, but I don't recall seeing anything explicit. Can you ...
I would if I could, Molly, but I've been shunted, as you were, into Open Mike and moderation at the same time, probably because of my random vague musings :-)
Not wanting anyone to share their gender identity here, weka, just wondering how comfortable they might feel joining the debate atm. Naturally, there'd be a range of responses, but there might also be a trend that speaks to the tenor of the debate.
Wondering if there are, or ever have been, any trans people engaging in the debate here on TS? Surely they'd appreciate the keen interest being shown and the great deal of background reading many of the commenters have done. They would, of course, be ...
Perhaps those using those spaces and listening to that station have influence over Ministers.
My comments are being moderated.
Hasn't this Government recently provided support to a ski field? A ski field???
sighs (in a good way)
Seems I'm in moderation, Molly!
"...gender affirming care that has all but been discredited by the Cass report..." All but? What snuck through? [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future...
"So I find your direct, but brief and generalised question difficult to understand." Agreed. "What it sounds like is you are suggesting..." Nope.
