uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Hands on Care Giving- for the sick, children, elderly, disabled, is dominated by women and considered " feminine" work inadequately paid and underappreciated. Low wages and status also make it hard for women to achieve independence and control their own futures without attachment to a MAN. 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026These guys are walking talking blasphemies. They seem to have a fetish for being dominated and annihilated by robots. They say they will be gods but they actually love the idea of being slaves- they loathe their own humanity ( and all others) that much. 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Agreed. Minimum wage-has to be a living wage. But basic income goes beyond that- it ensures a dignified standard of living for people whether they are employed or not. Study after study shows that it doesn't make people lazy but gives them the safety to retrain, go to school, & improve their lives. 120
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Food banks, however well intentioned, will and can never solve poverty or income disparity or even food insecurity. Tax the rich. Guarantee a level of income that allows for a dignified standard of living and let people BUY their OWN food. Refuse to allow millions to live in poverty! 001
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Don't just donate to food banks. They are (and can only be) a bandaid for the gaping wounds that are poverty and income inequality. In Canada 50% of folks who use food banks work FULL TIME. Donate, AND advocate for gov to Tax the rich and provide a guaranteed income level for all. 110
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I reacted to the pain of a cervical punch biopsy with hysterical shaking and sobbing. I was ashamed at my reaction b/c it felt wak. I have never been sexually assaulted inside my body- I can't imagine how much worse that would be. But it was definitely a trauma. And no one prepared me for it. 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Would love to know your position on Universal Basic Income- by which I mean establishing an income floor below which no one would be allowed to fall. Pilots around the world show it helps people get off social assistance, improves health outcomes, allows access to education and to start businesses. 030

One episode shows a French woman who knits colourful,cozy jumpers from the wool of her own sheep & also helps out as a volunteer firefighter on standby when planes land at the airport. Also PUFFINS! 000

uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Why would you not mention the repeated reference to Canada as " the 51st state" or our (former) PM as " Governor of Canad" as part of the Canadian reaction. Kinda of a big deal here and goes a long way to explaining the underlying psychology of the boycott. 020
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026 I think the level of vulnerability in country music is hard to take when you are a teen and so vulnerable yourself- mystery, aloofness, quiet moping, anger, even confusion is preferrable to wailing heartbreak. Today, I think Hank Williams is Cole Porter in a cowboy hat. 010
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026And then we are shocked to find out the opposite. It's dangerous to claim you know someone's, anyone's heart by their public performance. And if such claims turn off voters who might otherwise support you based on Vance's public performance alone- why risk it? All I'm saying. 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026For me the obvious conclusion is that Vance is willing to embrace racism and white power if it gets him to the White House. Which on its own is disqualifying. People are inconsistent as a matter of course. Flip it around- abusers are often great at pretending to be warm and caring people. 100
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026We can't know his or anyone else's heart - and it's really beside the point. His public embrace of white power is gross enough on its own. There are non- Democrat, non MAGA voters who may well be winnable. But claiming you KNOW that a guy HATES his own kids risks turning them off- why risk it? 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026BTW I can't KNOW that he does love his kids. But I can't KNOW that he doesn't. That's the point. Flip it around- abusers who live to hurt and harm in private can appear to be the warmest most empathetic folks in public. That's how they get access to their victims. 100
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026More likely that he is so power mad that he will support racist positions on one hand & so arrogant to believe that 'once he is president' he will be able to make sure his own kids are insulated from this race hatred on the other. 'Those people are bad UNLESS they are with ME' is a MAGA hallmark. 100
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I appreciate the civility of the conversation. And to be clear, I loathe Vance. 100
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I hear you. But if we're against hurting kids, then we have to be against hurting Vance's kids. "Your Dad actually HATES you" is not a seed to plant in any child's mind. And IF Vance thinks he can keep his kids and wife safe from institutional whit power, he may be in for a terrible awakening. 200
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026No arguments on any of that. But again double standards-" for thee but not for me " is a hallmark of MAGA. Vance may believe that he can and will protect his own kids 'when he is president'. I use the word "may" because I cannot claim to know. 100
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026You can't know that. He probably loves them to bits. People do all kinds of mental gymnastics to except themselves and their loved ones from their twisted positions. "Yeah, but of course NOT YOU GUYS" is totally inconsistent but not uncommon. 200
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026To raise the glaring hypocrisy is one thing- "how does he reconcile his public statements about Brown Americans with his own family life?" is one thing- but to declare Vance has race animus towards his own children is just UGLY- towards THEM most of all.to.me 100
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I agree- BUT-Everyone wants the hang-NO ONE wants the oranisational responsibility- choose the events, spread the word, set the schedule etc. of a regular group gathering. It's really hard to sustain without folks who commit to these things. A HUGE challenge these days. 110
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I'm so impressed by Dani Bensky She went through hell and has reclaimed her body, her life and her joy. The healing value of 'body work' for trauma as opposed to just talking and drugs is tremendous. Whatever happens w/ Epstein she has already won. 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Maybe a long shot but being Brown and Muslim is usually all it takes. Add competence, political savvy, success and popularity you get a foam sputtering meltdown. 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026If he can't actually ref, he should be invited as a special guest either by the Premiers- Eby or Ford, or the PM Carney to attend with them. FIFA should cover all expenses, but I would really be ok with doing it with public money if they won't. Or reach out to some private donors- GET HIM THERE! 000
uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026If he has to attend a training workshop he could do so remotely. For FIFA to just cave and take the guy off the roster rather than finding a workaround is deplorable. I can just imagine the ovation of support Mr. Artan would receive from fans at any game he was slated to ref in Vancouver. 000

uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 25/04/2026So far Trump has only fired women. Kash is a Brown man, so he's more vulnerable than JFK or Hegseth, though they give him stiff competition for incompetence. I've no doubt Kash has a problem with booze but find it hard to believe Hegseth has stayed sober-where are the sources & stories about HIM? 000

uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Brendan Gleeson is one of those " I'll watch anything he's in" actors because I know he will be amazing & interesting even if the rest of the film sucks.

uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 19/03/2026People are holy, but so is God's Creation- land, water, air. Creation didn't need people to make it so, and it will continue to be holy long after we are gone. And, I suspect humans might hate and kill each other less if we loved and cared for the earth and all its beings more. 130

uccathy.bsky.social @uccathy.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Good riddance to Noem, and maybe Bondi- TBD. However I do wonder if pushing them out helps the woman hating Christian Nationalists to say "See, women can't handle these top jobs", while ignoring the incompetent males who remain like Hegseth and Patel, with more surely to come as heads of DHS & AG. 000
