thanks for including the link to my blog in this newsletter Dusty. I've decided to repost here the comment I made to you on my own Substack....

Hi Dusty, I'm touched by your interest and compliments. I hope your readers won't think this current blog unrelated to our resistance movement.

I'm finding it increasingly hard to be involved and to speak out. I am afraid.

I went to an exhibtion opening in Sydney just over a week ago where I had selected works showing and there was a crossdressing man present. I don't know who he is or what his political beliefs are or whether he claims to be a woman. Some of the artworks on display made explicit postmodernist statements about homosexual oppression and being "queer". I decided to leave quickly after the crossdresser arrived as I felt "triggered"...and feared actually coming in close proximity I might be unable to disguise my outrage. As it turned out, when I was exiting, there was a brief meltdown with a gallery staff and some unjudicious comments were made on my part. There is no knowing if it was related to the outburst but 2 hours later I got an email advising that an art workshop the organisation had solicited from me had not been selected to be a part of their upcoming 2026 education program.

I've been contemplating writing something analysing this experience but putting it in writing will quite possibly generate more consequences that are time consuming and difficult to deal with, and likely to further seal my reputation as a bigot.

I have to admire how women like Kirralee and Sall get through this.

Thanks for this message, Pearl.

Make sure you look after yourself. It's not compulsory for you to write about the gender madness. I echo what TT says here.

Creativity is anathema to totalitarians, particularly those on the left, because it challenges their world view. If they get their way, we’ll all be equal in their socialist utopia, whether we like it or not. Meritocracy & talent will be discouraged in favour of obedience to the tenets of EDI. There’ll be no room for originality & creativity. Keep up with your art & don’t put yourself at risk. You don’t have to justify yourself. Don’t forget that there are legions of women rooting for you. Stay well. 💚🤍💜

Your art is so beautiful Pearl, you don’t deserve to be going through such fear. Authoritarian/totalitarian ideologies such as gender ideology don’t produce creativity, they destroy it. So keep going, you’re doing more than just producing beautiful pieces, you’re sticking two fingers up to all of the people going along with the insanity.

Brilliant by Paul Givan. That’s exactly how to do it.

And I agree about the College of Policing in Part One. They are completely captured and are destroying policing in this country. Time to close it down and sack the senior officers who’ve gone along with their insane edicts. I wonder how many are Fabian members? The chaos that they and the Frankfurt School have been engineering for decades has come to fruition especially now that we have a slew of Fabians in govt.

Thanks Dusty.

You're welcome, TT.

Really great from Mr Givan!

I did notice that the PM and half of the new cabinet are members of the Fabian Society!!!!

Good hashtag 😊

Btw, Pride in Surrey is still receiving local donations. Godalming Town Council donated £1,500. Not sure where I saw it. Think I need to write to them.

Is it these books by an author called Cleland:"The Legend of Mild Bill" and "The Cowards Never Started", plus a related short story. In 1883 Massachusetts, lusty red-haired school teacher Cait Wilkins is caught in a scandal that threatens her career. To save her future, she heads west to take a job at a prestigious Arizona academy, but her plans go awry when she meets enigmatic 'Mild Bill' Stoneman, an easy going cowboy who increasingly beguiles her. In these two stories (The Legend of Mild Bill and The Cowards Never Started) Cait meets a series of colorful characters in the mountains of Arizona as she and Mild Bill share a series of adventures with friends, neighbors, prudes, whores, and, of course, cowboys and Indians.
