That is so nice to read, I wish I had that advice from my mom, phew! She must have been some lady, but then again so are you, so that makes sense, this message came right on time, so thanks, Grüß Gott.
If one has fingers and is old enough to subscribe to a stack, certainly that same person, with extremely minimal effort, can press the “unsubscribe” button on their own. I use sarcasm to make a point.
I think the point was things that might make them unable to do it themselves? Not my favorite examples as cut off fingers is a gross image, but anyhow, have a good day
Yes if we don’t like what you are writing we need to unsubscribe ourselves not the writer.
But it’s that ‘virtue signal’ of ‘unsubscribe me’ that says it all. No one wants to take responsibility for their side of the street on ANYTHING.
Oh and BTW I had not read your post yet that elicited the ‘unsubscribe me’. I’m writing on my phone at the moment and need to get on my iPad to read it in a larger format.
Regardless of what you write I always look forward to what you have to say!
“... But you wanted me to feel ashamed of my thoughts and perceptions.” Currently, often this is the case in *so* many aspects of life!
Making a point / making a request by way of wanting someone(s) to feel lousy about themselves has become a mode of human communication, especially via social media (inc Substack). That's an awkward sentence, but the best I can do right now.
Which leads me to your post from yesterday (the one the reader got pissed off about).
"It means none of the stuff we’ve been fed was meaningfully true, or true at all."
I am observing something inside me shift to a place of recognizing that, simply, no matter what happens / doesn't happens with this administration (MAGA/ MAHA) and whatever happened / didn't happen in any other administration, I will never know all of what goes on / what went on.
I can be as riled up as I want, and I can draw whatever conclusions I want - over and again, based on ever-newer information - but I will likely never know the fullness of what happened then nor what IS happening now.
All of politics, and likely ALL the history I've eaten and digested, is largely baloney / propaganda / lies / inversions / hijacked / whatever you want to call it.
I am surprised and relieved to discover some peace in that. I don't mean apathetic or removed-from-emotion, I mean a kind of relief and freedom.
Anyway, the way I feel in this moment is that it's a great time to become accustomed to living groundlessly. Living in some sort of 'Well, that could be ... or maybe not ... ' zone.
A place where I don't go careening into catastrophizing and completely lose my shit because (for instance) it seems entirely possible that the current democide will just not be revealed by the all-powerful (not) MAGA MAHA.
It's up to me (and anyone else who feels similarly) to watch current systems crumble as we do whatever we can to start living a new way. I don't know how, yet, and I don't know what's true for anyone else.
But for me, it's too wearying to keep investing my vital force in supporting or arguing against a horribly impaired vessel that thrives on human suffering, and aims for depopulation and transhumanism. All parties want this, ultimately. They just go about it differently.
I don't need anymore proof that this is the case. As always, I'd be glad to be proven wrong about any of this! But in the meanwhile, I'm changing course and contributing to a world in which humanity is valued, love is greater than fear, and information is just information - not something in which to invest my precious life force. More than that, I don't know.
Oh I love what you said. You spoke exactly to how I feel. And how I’m ‘navigating’ this crazy world we came into, this lifetime. There was a reason you know.
“I'm changing course and contributing to a world in which humanity is valued, love is greater than fear, and information is just information - not something in which to invest my precious life force. More than that, I don't know.”
I value your work and the decades of dedication that earned you the right to have a voice on the stages which have beckoned you to usurp the villian lighting directors.
As Martin Luther King said "At the end of the day, the highest form of maturity is vigorous self examination." Or in more modern times: "Just say No." And Dr. M. Scott Peck's words of wisdom decades ago: "At the root of all mental illness IS the denial of the truth." Peck in his day was referred to as "The Conscience of Humanity."
I've been through that predicament recently, that serious violation. As a result of that, I have lost my best online friend, forever.
He was punishing me for disagreeing. I decided to apologize and say good bye.
I never understood that: people invite reasonable disagreement, then they lose their temper. Maybe I'm too intense in my commenting. Maybe, they just don't know what they want.
Thank you for putting into words what I could not.
An "online friend" is not real. Such a friend is a phantom and a fixture of your imagination. Get outside....join a book club. Get a dog. Take a class....etc etc.
Having "friends" online is a way to make us visible to those who have us in their sites. "
THEY" have big plans --
"THEY" have a club and you "aint in it".....to paraphrase George Carlin.
It's been going on a long time. "THE CLUB" in this case has decided it is time to take out the trash.
WE are the trash they want to take out. I just moved to a new town. I don't know anyone here except my daughter who is very busy. I am planning to get a dog soon!
I have done much the same thing, decades ago, before there was an online.
Some people are just too judgmental, too controlling, too bossy, too provocative, too full of themselves, or too wrapped up in themselves, and a result, they alienate other people and wear them down without good reason.
If you are wondering whether you are too intense, it means you probably aren't—you're just extremely enthusiastic. And you are nobody's doormat.
Thank you for your comment. I remember that movie. That's where I learn from the painter Arcimboldo.
About my case, it was not a disappointment, because I was expecting it.
And also not exactly a broken heart. I don't hold a grudge. But I have realized I'm not acceptable for that person. That causes me a certain amount of freeze. But that's my own brain protecting my life from a danger that is not there. I will survive. Thank you, brain!
I am so very proud to be a reader of your substack and to have read your book on SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS...Good writing...detailed with substantial evidence to back up your claims.
There are many truisms that are tossed around such as "To Thy Own Self Be True...." etc etc.
You have been of inestimable importance to those among us who see the crime and the criminals.
p.s. It is well known now that the covid injections are implicated in causing a world wide surge in cancer among the young and healthy. I assume you have seen how Dr. Rochelle Walensky went on television and announced with all the authority of the CDC backing her up...that the covid "vaccines" were safe and effective for women and that included pregnant women, nursing women and children. Now there is a huge surge in cancer among all these groups. Dr. Rochelle Walensky is married to Dr. Loren Walensky....a PEDIATRIC CANCER SPECIALIST. Need I say more?
We were lied to and intentionally misled by Walensky and Fauci and Bourla, and others. They all committed crimes against humanity, and are unrepentant.
hmmmmm not Dr. Loren Walensky Pediatric cancer specialist....no not him. I am sure all his work is probronum and he never takes money from parents of grief stricken desperate parents who just want to save their child and give him a chance to grow up...no not the good doctor...He would never advise expensive and deadly radiation/chemo/surgeries for his extremely vulnerable patients....never never never....not when they could just take Ivermectin and be done with it.
Who would ever dream of profiting from hthe deaths of innocent children by a painful and deadly disease process? Surely not this esteemed man...
We're in a very weird era where journalists are being punished for being journalists instead of being parrots repeating what someone else tells them to. It's sad that so many people have outsourced their very important survival instinct of listening to their guts to the idol worship of supposed "scientists" and fake media.
“It may seem like a minor thing, but it’s a fairly serious violation— to suggest to another person that their mind should be just like yours.” Not minor at all. I have always thought that presumption is original sin.
Celia you doll, this is how a real woman acts and thinks. You are correct. And affiliated with this are those who judge others without the facts. A mere human has no capability to judge because they do not read minds of know the intent of the person as does G-D. HE IS THE ONLY ONE TO JUDGE ANYONE!!!
Example. I met a gal named Nurse XXXXXXXX online and right away I lauded her for her work. The reality though was she was a naughty "nurse" and I was told she wore skimpy revealing clothes. Her affiliation with me as a friend was apparent BUT I do love it when the religious hypocrites point fingers at me. You see, one of the closest friends of Jesus was Mary Magdalene, a prostitute.
As to this nurse, I am NOT going to scold her or unfriend her because that might well hurt her tender feelings. I will gently tell her the same thing I tell other women without judging them..."I have no interest in skimpy clothes revealing intimate body parts because I think more of women than that."
Jesus did not disassociate from Mary Magdalene and I am always gunning for those who turn on a dime and misjudge people more often than not.
I had a woman ask me what was my most favorite part of her body. I did not even blink. I said merely that it was her pretty eyes and that is true, the eyes are sooooo pretty and better than that there is no associated naughty thoughts.
A prostitute who propositioned me decades ago heard the same words I use today in such cases. "I think a lot more of you than that." She just smiled and walked away.
I hate those who judge on the merits of their BS thoughts!!! And one more thing Celia, you are right totally in your words and decisions. I would protect a prostitute as strongly as I would a lady. They are also women but have made bad decisions. They are also masterful creations of immeasurable beauty and priceless worth.
Always Edward
Remember this. Anyone who worries about what others think of them, is merely their slavemaster! Piss on em all!!!
Always go with your gut. The only time(s) I have created problems for myself is when I second guessed myself.
Right? or, usually, somebody else did. My mother always asked: "What does your inner voice say?" To her it was something always talking, clearly.
That is so nice to read, I wish I had that advice from my mom, phew! She must have been some lady, but then again so are you, so that makes sense, this message came right on time, so thanks, Grüß Gott.
You are right. They wanted to communicate their "rejection" of your work. Kudos to you for realizing it & writing about it.
Reminds me of the people who announce they are leaving Facebook, X, etc.
Why do that? And why wait to see who answers what, before you go? Just go.
That's really funny ... I've wondered but never really stopped to consider it. Now that I've read your post, it just makes me laugh!
How old is this person? Five? 105? Seriously! Did they have their fingers amputated recently? 🙄🧐😬
Not sure what you mean, Erin ~
How old is what person?
Why might they have recently amputated fingers?
Missing the point of your comment.
If one has fingers and is old enough to subscribe to a stack, certainly that same person, with extremely minimal effort, can press the “unsubscribe” button on their own. I use sarcasm to make a point.
Thanks for explaining. I tend to be slow on the draw when it comes to sarcasm (not a lot of fun at parties) ~
I’m sure that you are perfectly enjoyable at parties! I, on the other hand, tend to cause a bit of trouble! 😂
I think the point was things that might make them unable to do it themselves? Not my favorite examples as cut off fingers is a gross image, but anyhow, have a good day
I was being sarcastic about the amputated fingers.
The person who told Celia to “unsubscribe” her 😊
Like the celebrities who said they would leave the US if Trump was elected!
But they never do!
Yes if we don’t like what you are writing we need to unsubscribe ourselves not the writer.
But it’s that ‘virtue signal’ of ‘unsubscribe me’ that says it all. No one wants to take responsibility for their side of the street on ANYTHING.

I value your work and the decades of dedication that earned you the right to have a voice on the stages which have beckoned you to usurp the villian lighting directors.

You can't make everyone happy all the time, but I do note from what I have seen, you are super nice and considerate to others so their loss.
Maybe it was us... LOL
Or..., she, they, it... as in BOT..., water off a duck!
🦆
!
Quack! And a shake of the tail ...
Don’t feed the ducks!
I agree with you.

Amen. As my father used to say "The truth needs no prop."
Speak your truth!
Celia I love you, keep up the good work, Gods speed to you, Gods blessings to you, Gods protection to you , Gods empowerment to you !
