Reposted by Anna Suemaura quint @mauraquint.bsky.social · 04/01/2026My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives. 277197604195 0

Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Prior to her hurting me we'd been good friends for years. The whole thing is shaking my faith in all of my other friends. I thought she did care... but it feels like she was biding her time! 110 0
Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 07/01/2025All of the world leaders who I kind of respected - felt to be broadly decent, competent, and with an actual desire to make the world a better place - are being ousted. It's bloody terrifying. 050 0
Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I can't believe the bare faced cheek, or emotional illiteracy, of some people. I'm in such an awkward position now. I am tempted to say no but the others in my team are nicer than me... 110 0
Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Someone who hurt me very much has asked if her daughter can come along to a kids club I run. I know I can't blame the child for the actions of her parent but I feel her being there will be a weekly additional emotional toll on an already tiring and challenging task. 120 0

Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Pete was bottom (1 point) so unless he got top public vote (which is obviously Chris) he can't have got to 7 points. #Strictly 030 0
Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 08/12/2024JB was top of the leader board (6 points) so if he got the lowest points he'd had had a 7 point total in which case Tasha would also have had a 7 point total. #strictly 120 0
Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Thinking about it - as we knew Tasha was in the dance off it *had* to be Pete too. Tasha was 2nd in the leader board (5 points) and must have come either bottom or second bottom of the public vote (1 or 2 points so total 6 or 7). #Strictly 250 0

Anna Sue @asg73.bsky.social · 08/12/2024I just asked chat GPT - it reminded me of Ashley Roberts in 2018. Apparently it's happened 6 times. But Ashley was never popular and I do think JB has more of a fan base 010 0
