I haven’t posted much on the blog this year for a few reasons. One, I was well pissed off at being censored by some DEI hire, especially when some of those posts were years old and there were no complaints before. I would also like to note that to date, I still have not been given even a copy of a formal complaint or what exact issues were ‘offensive’ in my writings. I am however hopeful that with Trump going back to the Whitehouse, we are now seeing the beginning of the end of all things woke. Everyone is sick of it and the constant fear porn as evidenced by the huge red wave that swept over the US in the November election, and the ousting of almost all Green Party candidates in the Irish parliamentary election.
I am aware that some of my posts are contentious and, as such, would have posted a warning for the more ‘sensitive’ souls out there, especially as so many cannot seem to cope with a different opinion these days. If, after being warned, you chose to continue to read the content then, in my opinion, you were prepared to be offended and made a free choice.
I also had what I thought was carpal tunnel syndrome but turned out to be radial tunnel syndrome which left me with a loss of power and a lot of pain in my hands. This was exacerbated at work as we had a lot of staff off for a few months through the summer and I had to provide cover taking minutes at meetings. Thankfully it has eased now and I am almost back to full strength and the itch to get back to blogging has started to make itself felt.
