I Looked at Twitter and I have some opinions....

Which is always a bad idea. 

The "thread" is a debate over the ending of schooling for Afghani women. Tragic. 

Who was responsible? Biden or Trump? Trump signed an agreement to bring the troops home in May 2021. Biden honored it. 

Well, Biden hasn't honored much else of what Trump did, so why couldn't he have stopped it? He surely stopped a lot of other things.

They are both responsible, then. It would have happened if Trump stayed in office. And I, for one, believe that's why we have Ukraine. 

And while I am here, the Tucker Carlson crowd who mocked Zelensky's speech (Carlson said he showed up dressed like a strip club owner and that he is persecuting Christians and has declared martial law) can take a flying leap. They could not survive 24 hours in Ukraine. They want more money for domestic programs--which is totally not conservative. Oh, I am angry, and will probably never watch Fox again. No great loss. 

In regard to the persecuting Christians line, he is not allowing Russian Orthodox believers, who oppose a free Ukraine, to meet because of espionage, and we would have martial law too if we were under constant attack.  And he was dressed like a combatant in solidarity. We don't mock Churchill for coming here and asking for help. Shame, shame.

Kallman's Syndrome: The Secret Best Kept

-
I went to my cardiologist yesterday.   Every year I have to wear a Holter monitor for a day because of a heart ablation I had in 2007.   If you don’t know what a Holter monitor is, it’s a 24-hour mobile, wires-hanging-off-your-body EKG.   The nurse practitioner saw me, (not the doctor, which is ok because his voice puts me to sleep).   She was very sweet.   She asked me if I was still taking Estradiol and Progesterin.   “No,” I said. “I’ve totally gone off those.   I was on them for a very long time and I wanted to be sure to stop.” What I didn’t tell her is how long I actually had taken those hormones.   37 years.   I started with HRT when I was 17 because I have Kallman’s Syndrome.   You may never meet a person who has this condition.   It only affects 1 in 10,000 people (or 1 in 86,000, according to one source) so that’s quite a range and far more males have it than females (as do most negative things).   So, being female, I am quite an oddit

Do I Really Have to See the Barbie Movie?

-
 You know, I was going to write an essay about the Barbie movie .  I am pretty close to deciding that I don't need to spend $8 or more (plus gasoline), 3 hours, and some brain cells looking at pink (only pretty in its natural settings) silliness.  Therefore, I think I will also save the time writing this trying to explain why I probably won't see it unless it comes on YouTube and I'm too tired to do anything else.  Some are talking about it like it's the most profound art of the summer and an insightful exploration of sexual power dynamics. I have enough problems already. And I watched the other half of Barbenheimer already, Oppenheimer (it is brilliant except for the unnecessary and nauseating sex, which I guess was put in there to show what a womanizer he was).  I've already spent my 3 hours on movies for the summer.  Oh, and three on Sound of Freedom, but that was obligatory. And worth it; despite the controversies (ginned up by media that will attack anything
