I’m in the middle of a book right now. When I finish, I will probably read that next.

A man must have said that. A woman in her 40s is usually either perimenopausal or menopausal.

Liberal Buddhist @liberalbuddhist.bsky.social · 9h

The book is even better so far.

Famed polar exploration ship Endurance not as strong as legend held, researcher says

Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton's crew famously survived after the Endurance became stuck in ice in 1915. A researcher says the ship was ill-equipped for the voyage and Shackleton was aware.

Another thing they can do if you don’t have them blocked is read your posts and report them to the moderator. One persons fact is another’s misinformation.

Liberal Buddhist @liberalbuddhist.bsky.social · 15h

True. But they can’t suddenly unblock you and then repost you with a nasty message. It just seems like it’s safer to block them back.

I unblocked her.

Liberal Buddhist @liberalbuddhist.bsky.social · 15h

I always block ppl who block me so they can’t add me to a list in the future. So I have her blocked now. 🤷‍♀️

I don’t know. Maybe I was on a list or something. I’m on a bunch of lists. LOLOL
Some ppl block or add ppl because they are on a list - without looking at the acct page.

Liberal Buddhist @liberalbuddhist.bsky.social · 17h

Totally agree. Two of my faves are Line of Duty and Wire in the Blood. Recently, I’ve been watching The Crow Girl - very good.

I’m kind of confused. They seem to be all over the map in what they support. 🤔. Fifi has me blocked for some reason.

What's wild to me is this "selfie-flotilla is getting so much international attention for their ridiculous shenanigans, while WCK is on the ground in Gaza feeding hundreds of thousands every day. No dramatics. No publicity. Just working up to a million+ hot meals/day. 😏

Remember. The media never spoke about the Thai hostages. Because none are Jewish. None Israeli. And that contradicts the whole “Hаmаs are freedom fighters” narrative.

Please listen to hostage survivor Watchara Sriaoun.
