I’d much rather have my kids spend time with people like Hugo Grrrl than the white froth at the corner of their mouths musty ass destiny church too concerned with other people’s genitals crowd.
Pleased to hear you are on the mend, long may it last and glorious school holidays await you. Sounds like a pretty challenging way to spend your recovery, but perhaps not having a gallbladder gives you a some defence from the bile of others?
I would venture to add to your list:
- Pro Russia. Often their posts will include the "truth about the NATO war of aggression in Ukraine". You'd think that would be an obvious flag, but people buy it.
- Climate Nonsense. "If we got to carbon zero then clearly all the trees will die and I love trees so it's just a commie plot to deforest and enslave the world, basic science there you go". Either that ot "Ice Age on the Way - Scientists Prove It". Mostly wishful thinking, sometimes actual disinformation.
Often their social media is all jumbled up, weirdly inconsistent and they seem to have no sense of cognitive dissonance. Words mean what they think they should mean. I did some calling last year in support of a local body candidate. I got a woman who said she didn't know much about politics except what she studies at her church. She was very concerned about her 2nd Amendment rights (!) and hated SOCIALISM (and Jacinda) like the Devil. But she was deeply concerned for the poor and thought there should be more money for our PUBLIC health system and our PUBLIC schools. No idea what she really thought socialism was then.
Incredible. And yes absolutely can’t believe I forgot climate denial! So so accurate. And all the pro Russia stuff is so true as well - the guy who called me a big pharma drug peddler had a page full of Putin worship. Wild stuff. It’s all connected maaaaan 👽🛸
I’ve never felt prouder to be a transactivist, woke, leftist, propaganda pushing snowflake ❄️. It feels like that time when my sister told me I should take it as a compliment everytime some douche nugget called me a bitch, because if old mate Gazza likes you, you’re doing life wrong!
Funny! I often wade into the comments because I like to think the people being bullied will see some of us have their backs. It always ends in a swarming of evangalical anti vax transphobes telling me I'm a woke leftist fucktard, an embarrassment to humanity. And part of me kinda loves it 😃
I laughed out loud so many times!! Thank you. I cried this week when we had run out of ham .... I don’t want to be the adult in charge of making sure we always have ham. I didn’t put it on Facebook though. School holidays 🫠🫠🫠
Glad you’re on the mend. Rest up. Put down the Facebook
my local police precinct here in NYC has a poster on the front doors of a dark moody police officer's arm pulling back an American flag curtain and it says "BELIEVE". I don't even know that that means but I think their graphic designer def' dreams of working in Hollywood. Dreadful. I must take a picture!!
I haven’t read the term “eftpos evangelical” before and I love it. That has enriched my life 😂
You’re welcome 😂
I like the ‘Eftpostle’ riff too 😅
Amazing! Made me actually laugh out loud! 😂
I just snorted as I was already laughing wheezily.
I’d much rather have my kids spend time with people like Hugo Grrrl than the white froth at the corner of their mouths musty ass destiny church too concerned with other people’s genitals crowd.
And actually Hugo did an incredible show for kids called The Glitter Garden which was amazing for boosting my kid’s self esteem ❤️

Preach! Can I get an amen!

You got me laughing again with that. I was camping down the coast when this was written hence my delayed reaction.

Embarrassment to humanity club ✊👊
I just love funding an Evil Woke Devil Feminist Slutbag. 🤘

I totally get those school holidays feels!
Satanic Panic 2.0 would be a great band name just saying
It really really would 😂
Ooo I’m disabled and I commute on my bike and does that make me invisible? Please tell me it does. I’ll get myself a cape!
It does! You better get that cape!
Trans flag obvs
Thanks for putting yourself through this on our behalf Emily. And for the heads up for us poor sods who just want to ride a bike for transport!
Can’t believe you would ride a bike when you KNOW it makes a transphobe cry. Wow. Just wow.
Wonderful writing as always. Particular highly commended award for slutbag. That is my new favourite word 😂
Thank you haha
OMG you are back in form Emily! This made me lol, despite (or perhaps because of!) the dark subject matter. Thank you, and get well soon!
That was fantastic. I needed a good deep belly chuckle and subsequent Google search of ripped Jesus.
Praise be to the woke activist lefties!
