Dancing in the Dust (Poem_

Beautiful, haunting and romantic Poetry!

brainyfurball

And here we are

High in the house

Locked and shuttered in the disappointment room*

While from far below

The laughter and music drifted up

And we knew that crystal chandeliers hung

Casting light and warmth

Over our elders while they danced at the ball

And we could imagine the wine in sparkling glasses

And see the taste, and feel it spilling down our parched throats

So we held each other close

And danced in the dust.

*A  room, usually on the top floor of the house, where mentally disabled or mentally ill children were kept during the 1800-1900s to remain out of the public eye.

Beat those senseless ANTZ fools with their own game!

One of the oldest tricks in the Glantzian book, and one that has been used for decades by the swivel-eyed curtain-twitchers of the tobacco control industry, is the establishment of a body of evidence.

It only takes a cursory look at Stan’s outpourings to see how it works. Write something, then write something else that cites the first thing you wrote. Then when you come to write your third piece, you can now cite your first two sources to demonstrate “a growing body of evidence”.

You’ve got to hand it to Stan, the constant drip, drip, drip of suspect science, misinformation and barefaced lies seeps into the public consciousness almost imperceptibly, and it also doubles up as a slow but steady torture for those who stand in the ANTZ’ path and ask awkward questions.

It matters little to the sour-faced purse-lipped fanatics that any or all of it is utter…

Stop Smoker-Shaming

THE POWER OF THE PURSE SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF TOBACCO USERS – TAKE IT BACK – STOP THE MONEY FLOW – DON’T QUIT SMOKING OR VAPING – QUIT PAYING TO QUIT! SMOKING OR TO SMOKE! WITHOUT OUR MONEY THEY WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS AND FOR US IT’S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!

Now we’re going to party like it’s 1939

I have to finish Panoptica, even with 7-day working, if it kills me. When I finish it, the Gubblement will probably kill me because they’ll think I’ve stolen their secret manifestos.

It has to be soon because it’s happening. Linked from Twitter is VGIF’s post of a transcript of a speech given By Christopher Hitchens. In which he talks about the infantilisation of people.

He was absolutely right. It’s been going on for a long time in subtle ways and blatant ways. It’s easy to notice the ‘you can’t have guns in case you hurt someone’ and ‘you can’t have these foods because you’ll eat too much of them’ and so on. Those are things you say to children. Yet there are other things that are just accepted.

If I have a (rare these days) takeaway coffee I take the lid off to drink it. I have actually had…

Vaping

Very well said. Thank you.

A school of dolphins

Vaping.

By Fergus Mason

I’ll repeat: Our activism is not funded by the tobacco industry or anyone else. We are just ordinary people who do things then tweet about what we’ve done. The result, more often than not, is that our friends go off and do the same thing – then tweet about it. Within minutes there’s an explosive chain reaction that sends a storm of tweets, comments or emails winging their way towards the target of our discontent. It may look organised, but it’s not. It simply happens because of social networks, especially Twitter, and websites that irate vapers have put together using their own time and money. Welcome to the latest one.
