Peeling Digits & Free Speech

My digits are peeling, my pointer and thumb. Does anyone call a finger a digit any more? First it started on one thumb which I thought was a cut but it turns out it was cracking and peeling. Now it's on both thumbs and pointer fingers. So I haven't done anything with clay. Need to catch up because it will soon be farmer's market time; and I need to make some income. I might have to wear surgical gloves. I'm wondering if it might be a vitamin D deficiency since it's been such a long dreary winter. Might have to get some cod liver oil, ugh.

In other news Twitter blocked me till I could prove I was not a robot. I was able to do that by getting a fake phone number through Google so I didn't have to give them my real number so they could send me a text. Now CEO of twitter pledges to "crush conservatives in civil war."

Then I got blocked on fb for two days. They don't tell me why just that I am banned for violating their community rules. Easy for them to ban folks and not let them know the reason so the person can't argue back about the ban. I notice most conservative friends I have, have been banned at one time or another. I have never seen or heard of a liberal friend being blocked. Social media is not a media; it is social engineering by excluding conservative views and encouraging far left liberal views. Case in point are the two women Diamond and Silk. They were blocked because their posts are deemed per fb "unsafe for the community." They are funny and current but they are also conservative and support President Trump.

Free speech is not free but is biased when only liberal views are allowed and conservative views aren't able to be expressed. Even more scary is the fact some folks have actually openly stated conservatives or republicans should be targeted; some even expressing violence against conservatives. These types of behaviors are a violation of free speech and the freedoms we hold dear. These behaviors are happening more and more in only one direction, against conservatives. This type of censorship happens routinely in dictatorships or communist countries but is not supposed to happen here in the United States of America.

  1. Two edged sword, Linda. Most of my friends are screaming liberals, as you know, and their children more left wing. Recently one, to quote her, spent two days in FB jail, for post. Just think, Mark Zuckerburg owns us all.

    1. Hi Joanne, thanks, now I've read that he has harvested info on folks who have never been on fb and that he also contacted hospitals wanting info on folks, scary, that. Wonder what they do with all that info on us? I do see if I look for a car on craigslist, ads for that same care come up on fb, scary what they know about us.

  3. I am grateful not to play FB or twitter.
    And my skin dries in winter as well. Too much exposure to artificial heat?
