See how nobody is calling you a sausage? That’s probably because you are not a sausage.
People don’t even realize what they are doing when they make these statements. It’s become so natural to them. It’s not about what things are. It’s about what you call them.
Here’s the famous bean stew, by the way:
Delicious and already gone.
The journalist who invited me is a controversial figure. One of my prospective publishers in Ukraine even asked me to remove a quote from him from my book.* Obviously, I didn’t publish with them because I’m not escaping from one form of censorship to plunge right into another one.
Matt Walsh has 2,8 million YouTube subscribers, and with the US population plus the global reach of an English-speaking journalist, you can imagine the equivalent of 500,000 subscribers for a dude in Ukraine.
* Most of Ukrainian publishers, news outlets and cultural projects exist on Soros money. The one I finally chose for my book is not a huge publisher but it’s independent and despises Soros money. As a result, nobody had a single objection to the content of the book.
I’m being invited to a show of a famous Ukrainian journalist with half a million YouTube subscribers. This is my husband’s favorite journalist, and it’s a dream of his life to see me on that show. I’ll be speaking Russian on the show, and I’ll post the link when it airs. If I don’t perish of nerves before then.
Nineteen-year-old Ruslan V. V Turko and two unnamed minors were arrested on Wednesday for first-degree malicious mischief after vandalizing the rainbow Pride mural that sits in front of Riverfront Park located in Spokane, Washington.
The media description of what happened is, of course, extremely tendentious. These teens are facing felony charges for leaving skid marks while riding their scooters. That’s all they did. They revved their scooters and left barely visible skid marks. But the crosswalk where they left scooter marks was painted the saintly rainbow colors, so it’s now a felony to leave a scratch on it. It’s a good idea for everybody to avoid that crosswalk because what if you track mud on it? Or make a facial expression that is considered genocidal?
In the massively tolerant Canada, the support for LGBT “dropped precipitously” over the past couple of years. I wonder what the teens in Spokane will learned about the importance of tolerance from this experience.
