Called Fanny “Bobby” Rosenfeld, he was even voted “Canadian woman athlete of the half-century” in 1949 – WTF?
There were lots of famous trannies 100 years ago, but nothing like the number there are now. Wake up people, they are everywhere.

It's hard to believe now, but there was a time when some popular music was making strong anti-establishment statements. Leaders in that field were the Clash, who did two absolute masterpieces - their first album "The Clash" (1977) and their third album "London Calling" (1979) are both timeless classics.
This photo of Paul Simonon smashing his bass guitar onstage at the New York Palladium in September 1979, taken by British photographer Pennie Smith, became one of the most iconic album covers of all time, but that cover is actually a rip off of Elvis Presley's debut album from 1956!

Here is the title track from London Calling - the entire double album is brilliant, and still sounds cutting edge nearly 45 years later

Blogging has certainly not turned out to be the world changing activity I once hoped it would be. I started out blogging on Blogger in 2008, which despite being owned by Google was such a well designed platform that I missed it when I stopped using it in 2015 and shifted to WordPress.
It used to work pretty well, but these days it’s not very popular anymore. I’ve pretty much given up caring about that, so I set up this new www.sift.co.nz Blogger account to replace my WordPress blog.
I have started doing a post of some sort (long or short) on Blogger each day, because I have always liked the way the platform works
(even though I don’t like Google), and it's really handy for basic low maintenance blogging.
At my most optimistic I hoped blogging could change society, and with the advent of the Steemit blockchain in 2016, I also hoped I could earn reasonable money for writing blog posts. Well, society has certainly changed in the past quarter of a century, since I got my first computer in 1998, but mostly not for the better.
To my jaded old eyes there were many things that were better in the 90’s and very few that are better now. Apart from geek stuff like the speed of internet connections and ease of transferring data, I struggle to come up with much stuff that is better now.
Blogging is another one of those things like data transferal that has never been easier. But sadly most of the content is lame, boring, semi-literate bullshit, and getting an audience of intelligent real humans in this day and age is not easy.
I live in New Zealand, which is a beautiful country in the middle of being fucked over by some of the most evil and corrupt WEF gimps on the planet. There are likely to be more “hate speech” laws being brought in by these maggots, and people like me who want to share non-approved content will have to adapt.
Free platforms are as rare as hen’s teeth, and it’s not as easy to remain uncensored as I had hoped. Coming from a background of being black listed by both Google and Facebook, amongst others, I stopped using censored platforms and thought the future was in blockchains.
Back in 2016 before I knew shit from chewed dates, Steemit at first seemed awesome. But I soon learned a thing or two. Steemit turned out to be just as oppressive as Facebook really, just in different ways. And Hive soon became even worse. But I did well out of both platforms financially for a while, and still think of Hive as very well designed blogging platform, even though several whales there have spelt it out in no uncertain terms that I’m not welcome to use it.
Which brings me to the point of this ramble – I need an effective system for blogging. As of 2024 this is my plan for blogging world domination:
I have stopped posting on my WordPress.org blog www.frot.co.nz because WordPress is becoming a pain in the arse, a big bloated woolly mammoth. My WordPress blog was self hosted so in theory couldn't be censored. But in practice the globalist NZ Government can threaten my server space provider, and they in turn can be forced to apologetically ask me to remove the offending content (which they have done once so far) – so the writing is on the wall, at some point in the future I may need overseas options that can’t be censored like that.
I will continue to do a mix of more frequent but shorter posts here on my Blogger account www.sift.co.nz and enjoy the irony of using Google’s own platform to host the very sort of content they are trying to block. But they may well notice me and crack down at some stage.
I'm also keeping my own offline copies of everything I post, so if my online content does get censored or deleted at some point I could put it all back on a new platform.
All the other platforms that I've been posting content on for the past seven years, including Instagram, Steemit, Hive, Bastyon, Blurt and a few others, have ended badly, or simply crawled up their own arses, so I have just given up on them and I'm now focusing exclusively on posting content on my own little blog. I'm past caring what anyone else thinks about anything I post these days so have turned all the comments off.
Although I plan to knock out a post of some sort on www.sift.co.nz each day, it's safe to say I won’t be doing it for fame or fortune, but more because it helps me to get my thoughts straightened out, and if it also has any influence on the global hive mind (I’m sure that "Hive" platform name was no accident) that would be an added bonus. It feels like we are trying to bail out a sinking ship right now I know, but every extra insight or bit of positive vision could potentially do us all wonders.
