Hello hello hello. Depressed, lonely, grieving old woman living in a grim nursing home in 🇨🇦 here. Surrounded by heartbreaking dementia & paralysed stroke patients. No one to really talk to since my husband died a cruel death from Parkinson's, dementia, & bipolar disorder last year (but increasingly talking out loud to myself 🤭). I have Long-COVID brain fog so my short term memory is poor. My world has shrunk to music on Alexa & a few interesting channels on my laptop. The Jolly Heretic gives my poor old brain a real workout! Also learning to speak a little Tagalog as most of the PSWs here are from the Philippines. Sweet, hard-working people. I was a psychiatric social worker in Chicago in the 1960s, NYC in the 70s, Toronto in the 80s. I switched to writing romance novels to pay the bills & give me some independence to deal with my clinical depression, DID, & BPD plus my husband's BD, & raising our learning disabled son. Also coping with our chaotic, violent, & poisonous families. Oh dear, this is a long rant full of details of no matter to anyone. Sorry, I'm showing my age, I guess-should delete this. But what the hell, going to hit 'post' anyway. Growing old...not so good.

Hi. Wish you were in Dallas. I take therapy dogs to people in nursing homes regularly. I'm happy to hear your logical faculties are fine, even if your memory seems to be affected by Covid.

what is that green beard that modern humans use to identify "genetic similar" folk or kin? Obviously there was not 23andMe 2 generations ago. the concept of genetic transmission trough a molecule was unknown even 100 years ago. Instinctive knowledge, of "heredity", was known, but did not for the basis of kinship. How did premodern peoples, from the same "region" (e.g. northern central europe vs. central europe), distinguish kin from nonkin?

Well, here's a question. I'm a paid subscriber to Jolly Heretic on Subscribestar. Would Dutton prefer me to stay on Subscribestar or move over to Substack?

Is this where we may see livestreams which get removed from YouTube?

Odysee is currently hosting livestreams. We will likely move the entire operation to Substack soon.

Odysee seems to be Ed's repository of videos. He used to update Bitchute regularly, but apparently not so much anymore.
