Great Peas of Literature. A piece of art in language and thought.

I think I got your point and most of details, though not able to understand all the metaphors and some words were simply unknown to me, too tired at 4:00 am to look them up on my mobile. Wondering, how many of the people in my surrounding might be able to understand only half of it, languagewise.

I have stood my truth right from the beginning and ended up in political and somewhat personal destruction because I did not have the financial and personal background. No power left. Hoping for others to wake up and take a stand.

Found this post after being directed to your 'Sound of Silenced Science' post where I commented that as a theatre practitioner in the UK I am horrified by my profession's position on this. You write: 'Artist are, and always have been, ones to resist compliance, sitting on the fringe, dangling our feet over the edge of Satire City, the easily-ignored-until-it’s-too-late pioneers of tyrannical opposition. Artists hold the line at the last frontier before a dark winter.' Well, not here they're not and they don't. Not anymore. The number of my colleagues (some friends) who went on record encouraging everyone to get the death jab astonished me. Those who were friends are not anymore. I am ashamed at my profession which I joined so that I could be a thorn in the side of conventionality. I had a spur to prick the side of my rebelliousness. I'm an unvaxxed playwright and dramatist who has written themselves out of any possible further commissions I fear. But then I don't care, I'm old. And I stood my ground and I stood in my truth. As I said before elsewhere: nice writing.
