Never watched it BUT I was obsessed with the Amiga game back in the day. Lol

Thanks ☺️ although this is only part of it. Theres 5 other shelves 😬

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 4h

I’m running out of space. Lol
I’ve got a lot of sets now. The office needs reconfiguring

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 4h

Imagine! Although I do like the screen ‘moves’ when you tilt it.

Finished my Lego Gameboy and added it to one of the Lego shelves.

The Lego game boy with Mario cartridge. Zelda is in the handheld.

A section of my Lego collection. Really need to get better shelving to house it all

I’ve got a Jack Daniels to numb my brain after all the ridiculous comments, lol

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 6h

Oh it’s on one of the Big Brother groups on FB. But you have to be a member

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 6h

It’s the determination of it that astounds me. Like no attempt at all to listen to valid points. They just get aggressive and precious.

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 6h

I think the most hilarious argument about privilege and experiences was a woman saying ‘I’ve faced discrimination for being fat’ like it was equal to systemic racism or homophobia. She can lose weight. I’ve been fat. I can’t change my sexuality and people can’t just change their skin colour

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

Yeah they were getting very defensive and they were just trying to argue with me or insult me instead of engage properly

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

What was he scared of? That the colleague would know you’re not straight? Why were they asking about their life? Were they being intrusive?

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

Like yeah. I have left reviews. And? How dare a gay man call things out. lol
She blocked me after I clapped back on that.

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

That’s it. They are the people who dish out the hate or agree with the comments being made so when it’s challenged they get defensive and act affronted. Got told by one woman I had a chip on my shoulder because she saw part of my FB profile where I’ve left negative reviews on anti LGBTQ pages…

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

Some people just don’t want to hear it and acknowledge it. I have no idea why

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

Oh it was so tiresome. It’s because the cis hets are riled over big brother contestants who are gay, black or trans or pan criticising comments being made and they don’t like it. They’re crying the show is woke and ‘you can’t say anything nowadays’

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

Fabulous fifty! Love the cake and I hope you’ve had a great birthday

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

I’ve even noted how as a white man there's privileges I have but as a gay man there's things I've experienced that heterosexuals don't. Even gave examples from my life and how despite everyone facing struggles in some way, certain groups face extra hurdles

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 7h

My god, my post about micro aggressions black people have long talked about has really riled the white Karens. Lol
All afternoon I’ve had comment after comment trying to belittle me or make excuses or argue I’m posting nonsense. I’ve even tried explaining privilege and they don’t get it.

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 12h

Me “black women have long faced micro aggressions when they dare speak up or say something. They’re labelled aggressive or problematic. They face extra hurdles that white women do not”

I now have a load of white women trying to argue the toss, completely missing my point which was longer than this

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 12h

I’ve seen all three live too ☺️

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 12h

Oh I know what you mean. Sadly I had a snoop at her profile and she’s definitely gay or bi. Her feed is her with her girlfriend which just makes it more pathetic that she’s so vitriolic to gay men

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 12h

Not according to my husband 🤣
Mind you, he has been conditioned to like my music over the years. Lol

Lee @leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social · 13h

It’s scary and shocking activity. I despair at all this and I can’t see it ending any time soon

Still blowing my mind that the person who earns royalties from the microtransactions in a Harry Potter themed slot machine app accused me of grifting for having a Patreon which doesn't cover the costs of hosting the sites it's for.

Alan Driscoll @alandriscoll.com · 16d

Despite billionaires accusing me of grifting, the Opium Tea / Terfipedia joint Patreon makes $8 a month and as a result opiumtea.com is currently offline with terfipedia.com likely to follow.

Patreon allows one-off donations now so please consider supporting or subscribing at patreon.com/terfipedia
