Bunbury’s Eighth- Sealion training for beginners

[SophocIestheFox]

Old thread nearly full!

————————————-

The useful Bunbury Guide to Spotting Community Disruptors is constantly evolving.

The best research and advice is not to engage with community disruptors and trolls. As ever, if you suspect troll activity, report it to MNHQ.

Remember there are people out there who would like to silence us by fair means or foul.

This is a continuation of the Public Service Announcement thread:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3944572-Bunburys-guide-to-community-disruptors-part-5?pg=40

If and when you see threads plopped into FWR, especially a curious repeat of well worn topics, maybe check for poster history before engaging. AS is your friend.

There are a number of posts/posters/threads that are reproduced on Twitter or Facebook to foment controversy using screen shots & flagging to either MNHQ to have threads or posters deleted.. Sometimes, it’s used to approach commissioning editors with ideas for articles. It’s a tiresome tactic that we always have community disruptor posters who themselves post the comments that they then highlight elsewhere as purported evidence of racism, religious intolerance, anti-men sentiments, or transphobia.

Some helpful links can be found in the ‘Break it Down for me’ and ‘It never happens’ threads but in essence FermatsTheorem recommended “that in the absence of a block/hide poster button, I suggest the following strategy (given that you're talking to the lurkers).

Do not name check the sealion. Instead, respond to a depersonalised paraphrase:

"It is sometimes erroneously suggested that blah. Blah is wrong for the following reasons (short and pithy). If you need more information re. debunking blah, here's a link."

Then (this next step is important to combat derailment) go back up thread to the last useful contribution to the discussion, make sure you do name check that contributor, and pick up the discussion from that point.”

Ah. Tablet is a mix of condensed milk and all the sugar in the world, cooked into a hard fudge. It's a sort of Mutually Assured Destruction level of sugar, the kind that makes the whole of the inside of your mouth itch.

Here's the HootsMonIcannaebelieveitsnaediabetes scandal that is Irn Bru fudge: www.allmarksweets.co.uk/iron-bru-irn-brew-flavour-scottish-tablet/

@TinselAngel

I don't know what tablet is. This is why I was confused earlier when I thought we were talking about soup and pills.

I've got a silver beaver

"Many of our audience members were new to the blues and did not know how animals are used in many songs as sexual metaphors. To enlighten them, Gaye created a new animal that many members, especially women, could relate to."

Silver Beaver
(Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women)

VERSE 1:
I don't want a little red rooster trying to crow for day
Don't want no grizzly king snake trying to crawl his life away
Oh I got a silver beaver and lawd you know it's true
It's a pretty little silver beaver and it's looking right at you
Oh it's an eager beaver and it don't beat around the bush
It's a pretty little silver beaver, grantin' your every wish.

VERSE 2:
I don't want no black rat come eatin' up all my bread
Don't need a widow spider leavin' cobwebs around my bed.
Oh I got a silver beaver yeah lawd you know it's true
It's a pretty little silver beaver and it's grinnin' right at you
Oh it's an eager beaver and it don't beat around the bush
it's a pretty little silver beaver, grantin' your every wish.

BRIDGE:
My beaver don't play possum, my beaver don't play shrew
My beaver don't really give a damn if you gonna do
My beaver gonna be your gopher, my beaver gonna be your pet
My beaver's gonna thump her great big tail and get you good and wet

VERSE 3:
Don't need a Mississippi bullfrog sitting on a hollow stump
Don't want no funky monkey don't know which way to jump
Oh I got a silver beaver yeah lawd you know it's true
It's a pretty little silver beaver and it's smiling right at you
Oh it's an eager beaver and it don't beat around the bush
it's a pretty little silver beaver, grantin' your every wish.

BRIDGE:
Yeah my beaver don't play possum, my beaver don't play shrew
My beaver don't really give a damn if you gonna do

It's a beaver, such a pretty beaver, it's a silver beaver, shiny, shiny beaver.

Hi ho, Hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver, Hi ho, Hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver,
Hi ho, Hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver, Hi ho, Hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver,
Hi ho, Hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver, Hi ho, Hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver.

Is it me, or are more trans issues escaping into the wild now? And not beong posted by FWR regulars either. Not complaining, just wondering why now?

More sunlight in the press and media recently, prompting new shoots to pop out blinking into view?

Biden's EO has generated coverage of sports and there are usually a couple of paragraphs at the end of each story about wider issues.

Most of the posters on AIBU seem completely unaware of the existence of FWR, or have a false impression of what it is like here even if they have heard of it. (Not saying that is a bad thing - just that it is and that it is probably to be expected.)

I’ve noticed that too, SunsetBeetch and the FF MMA thread is doing some Sherpa work.

Maybe we’ve reached tipping point and all the supposed to be quiet bits are now being said out loud and the noise is being heard?

I’m ever hopeful.

Oh boy, I hope so. Tipping point would be such a blooming relief. I forget that lots of people are barely aware of these issues.

I love the threads escaping into the wild. I rarely post on them as it's wonderful to see women who don't visit FWR who completely get it and put it out there.

wild feminism ... gamboling in the fields...

@fatblackcatspaw

wild feminism ... gamboling in the fields...

They've been spotted here and there.

Free range, organic feminism! Yes, it's a joy to see.

I just misread the title as 'Stallion training'. I wondered about the implications...

@TinselAngel

Courgette can be really tasty actually.

No.

I was once fed the moistest most delicious chocolate cake I had ever tasted in my life, so naturally I asked for the recipe.

Here 'tis. allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/33569/vegan-chocolate-courgette-cake.aspx?o_ln=SimRecipes_Link_3&o_is=SimilarRecipes

Unbelievably lush.

On a slightly different subject, I find it very sad that a thread which is supposed to be a Q&A for people new to all this has been colonised by a merailer and if people really are new, they will have no way of knowing that is someone who really ought not to be taken seriously, or indeed read at all.

Tinsel you might want to look at the Q&A thread. Or not.

@Ereshkigalangcleg

Tinsel you might want to look at the Q&A thread. Or not.

YY, Asking.

There are people commenting on a thread about a woman having her head stoved in that they can't see the problem with it and its....... I can't, I just can't.

I was watching that Greenland movie last night, when is the comet coming?

I've bookmarked that recipe for the day my courgettes run wild. Not happened yet, though.

And YY to the two threads mentioned.

I enjoy mashing up courgettes in hot milk and weetabix.

Bunting 🤮

FFS, Bunting.

What?

I don't eat it. It's a treatment for my t-zone.
