Thanks to everyone who took the time yesterday to help me as I moved my OTHER blog (marthakennedy.co) over to this one. Everyone’s responses were very helpful, and I ended up making three pages — one for historical fiction, one for memoir, and the other for visual art. marthakennedy.co is now gone for good, it seems. Anyway, I haven’t been able to access it directly from a browser though I can still see it if I go from here which is probably good in case there’s stuff I want.
I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner to do that, but I’m finding a lot of previously undiscovered good sense in these strange times…
I haven’t used the word “bud” in this post at all till now. I’m sorry.

OK that’s good
It’s good to hear a thoughtful view of your politics. Thank you
I took out the politics… But thank you. ❤
I think you have a very ‘grown up’ view x
Thank you. I hate recognizing what I do, though. It makes me sad.
It is saddening. We need some more sanity in this world!
Yep. I want people to value education, humane values, peace a whole lot of stuff that they don’t. The guy two houses down from me flies a Trump flag and waves at me when he sees me in the yard. I don’t know how to deal with that. Some days I don’t want to go outside my door. I am pretty sure Trump is going to win, simply because the Dems don’t understand how MUCH people in this country hate black people and women. I don’t think they get it at all. I don’t think they’re aware of the level of propaganda being pushed out there or understand that people believe it. Maybe they do, but…
I think we have similar problems, propaganda is rife and being able to tell good lies seems to be the way things are going. Having the media in your pocket is so dangerous. People need to think. I was accused of virtue signalling by a right wing ‘friend’ yesterday. (a phrase that didn’t exist a few years ago!) I didn’t block him. I need to see what other people are saying so I can discuss things with them. I try and help. But our British government? I think they are making a poor job of things.
Virtue signaling is a stupid phrase.
Yes, what does it even mean? More 1984 than ever!
I think it might be that “holier than thou” thing but “virtue signaling” is just an icky term. I’m not having the best day, today. 😦
Sorry to hear that Martha, if I was there I’d give you a big hug if I could, and was allowed!
Thank you, Chris. ❤
💕
I’m glad the 3 pages worked out so well. Nicely done 😊. They really highlight your art and books!
Thank you! I can’t believe that wasn’t obvious from the beginning but live and learn, I guess.
That’s all we can do. ♥️
It is. ❤
I didn’t even realize you had a separate blog for your books and art. I like the layout of this – easy to see the books and the art! I’m not giving up politically speaking. The same thing that happened when Obama was elected can happen again – all the women who publicly professed GOP allegiance voted very differently in the privacy of the polling booth. Women can still change the outcome of this election we do make up a majority of US citizens…
Women can definitely do that. I’m not giving up, either, but I just turned down the local Dems — I said I didn’t want to make phone calls. I love being old in a way. I know how to say “No.” I don’t have youthful enthusiasm, passion and optimism but at this point in my life I have some wisdom. I said I would text… I won’t lose it texting people. I might lose it on the phone.
