    imaginary catch-up with Starsrite friends

    Bonnie Blue ain't so Bonnie.Bodies on sale in a camera glare,men grow quietejaculate and swear.When lust is counted,not felt true,love retreats,and hearts undo.Brenda: “I don’t think the problem is sex itself. It’s what Bonnie Blue’s story becomes, a spectacle....

    • Powerfully penned, Peter. Cool idea, thanks for the honorable mention my friend. A group of writers with critical thinking skills having a rational conversation. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      • I wasn’t sure if I were taking liberties by using yours and others names.
        In the end I think they mostly would agree with my views on the Bonnie Blue thing.
        🤘

    • This is a good conversation to have. The double standard and how society views it. Like the use of the writers on here. I think you capture their voice well.

    • This is an absolutely powerful writing, dear Peter! Your idea to bring several Starsrite member for a meaningful discussion on the Round Table is brilliant! Thanks a lot for including me!

    • hello beautiful Willow for let me say this is a powerful message with a great flow I am also sad about these things I don’t know what the answer is…I hate how people are treated I have skin ailment and can’t even get a refferal to a dermatologist because my primary says so… I hate how animals are treated it all makes me ill… what counts as compassion in this life it’s like a very painful soul ache to look around and think how can I change it… great write ❤️

      • I actually cut myself off with this one. There were so many more things I wanted to say. But they’re not listening anyway. I’m sorry you’re dealing with insurance issues. I am as well, so I can relate. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Sing it you beautiful powerful woman!!

    • This is a great screw it list touching on so many hot topics, great piece Lady

    • Now this has me agreeing with it. What happened to save the trees, polar ice caps, the aquatic life, or us, damn it?

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write with a message that needs to be heard, which in fact should be screamed from the rafters in every corner of the world. Amazing work per usual. This is next level good. Appreciate you.

      • This one blasted out of me in one evening after unsettling personal news. I had to force myself to stop. But the release felt good. It just keeps building. They never stop. Thank you, my friend 🧡

    • Wow! What a powerful message, screamed at the whole humankind, especially at those who still believe that no damage towards the planet and our fellow humans had been done. I haven’t heard such an impressive and sadly urgently needed wake up call since a long time! Brilliant work, dear Willow!

      • I think what makes me saddest is that most of them actually know what’s being done. They just don’t care because it would affect their wallets and money is more important to them than compassion. There are a lot of us screaming, they’re not listening. They just hit mute or change the channel. Thank you, Elke 🧡

    • Superb work. Excellent.

    • FUCK YEAH! Oh, fuck fuck fuck fucking Yeah, Willow. You need a big FUCK! for all of them, Willow. But there just aren’t enough fucks for all the FUCKS in the world ’cause they keep making more FUCKS who keep fucking things up! So FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS!

      Fucking right!
      nice

      aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand said with love

      • Yeah, that word has become a constant from me lately. I wrote this one after unsettling personal news and then spent the next 15 minutes just repeating fuck. What they’re doing – while it inspires some powerful poetry and protests – is beneath contemptible. They don’t stop either. I don’t believe I will live long enough to see the damage done just in this one year reversed. I’m not sure my daughter will even live to see that day. It’s unbelievable. Selfish, racist, sexist fucks. Thank you so much for feeling this as I did 🧡

    • Chère W.,
      Your list and mine are almost identical.
      At least my family didn’t tell me to shut up, but the in laws did.

      My car’s a vegan car. And many more people will follow as soon as it dawns on them that there is money to be made in doing the right things for a change.
      All my thumbs and kudos for you.

      Yes, please also listen to Sappho/Elke’s Point of no return in audio and podcasts or some such thing. You’ll find your way, don’t rely entirely on the words of a dyslect.

      Warm waives and regards, Gus

      • I wish my drafts weren’t so full of frustrated rants about the state of the world. But if I didn’t give them voice, I’d implode. It just never stops. I will definitely make my way to Elke’s piece. Thank you for your words and the nudge in her direction

    • I’m with you on every point. Someway, somehow, the good, honest, and caring of this world must overcome the evil wave that now confronts us.

      • The tide will turn. It will take a long time, but once it’s rolling, there’s no stopping it. Meanwhile, big mouth me will keep shouting from the rooftop about it. Thank you so much

    • Oh, Sam, ewww! How could you! Didn’t you even think to include the delightful octopussy? Talk about a hand job! Wowzer!

    • Thanks. Noooo, Swabby Sam wasn’t drunk enough to risk his gooey duck with no octopussy!
