DRAFT a cobbling together of some stuff. Not all. Some to be kept back for anything next. Purpose, need a compañera or 2 to help get this out. It's time.
And what you will not find in this sketch is that bit I wish to share especially with younger social justice warriors or refuseniks: how to do it all so so on the cheap and yet with aplomb; and not let such silly things as megga legal change entirely take over life. Indeed how to live, and fight without stopping still living. Simon Clayton.

Now, "there's no success like failure"
A certain poet once wrote.
The real 'failure' methinks of my whole generation of so called 'boomers'
Or to be very silly-scholarly, and take from philosopher AA, a generation liberally polluted by some kind of boomer 'truth' that suits the elite.
I don't really buy as it breaks down when it comes down to a complete inability of grown up media and also 'activism' to keep on keepin on..
is quite astounding in that it as if none of these so called journalists have done one bit of real research about how obviously it has all gone back to about the 1970s.
Never mind zero transparency.
When some of us put our backs into it bigtime.
Me, Birgit and others.
I am not an entire fool, and no with such a backwards idiocy there is no point having even once cared.
But i care merely about retaining some of the story, in written fun.
And four or five thousand readers a day there on ralphschism (stats prove) I do intend to rev up and make a bit more fun...
Even if rather a lot of my all has gone into it thus far for three years.
No hastagging, no SEO, and no social media - i don't use it other than most rarely for an occasional direct message. And no one answers them either.
I do however have a small gathered-face-to-face little band of middle aged artists - rather good, who do at last accept 'this' cannot go on. The total infantilisation of all including the arts world for some years.
And... I will be spending the rest of my life doing nothing new - as at least in times gone yore a few thinkers and writers and even artists like Gillray really did go all the way, elegantly attempting to lampoon what matters. In this case it really does seem to be a rather lost masses.
And i don't blame either the 'establishment' or ridiculous David Icke types who really have done so much damage. And the so called 'populists, who do not even intelligently say what maybe needs saying. And i don't 'blame' woke either.
And do write well on what it is.
One post on ralph a month or so ago called Wuss not 'woke'
In short i do not blame the wussy precious generation (or 'woke' if you must)
I only blame the masses - their parents, who failed to direct them back outside to what matters and always has - universal justice etc., rather than getting all 'small things' - obsessing over the bodily, and even 'identity', as an understandable response to being really rather overwhelmed by world events.
ALL 'family justice' matters failed.
There is only now good culture, about why..?...and that hasn't been begun, so as to fail yet. I know i have searched for it for some years.
