Careful. sbhThoughts. Contained #Careful.sbhThoughts
Hiyah. How’s you? Good, I hope. Welcome back to another scurrilous missive from the sbh, this one is something slightly different, this sbhmissive has suffered/gained from having a little (lot?) thought applied to it, this is the type of post I’ve thought about making for a while, deeply debating about if it should be published or not?
Why do you not ask, well that’s because of the subject, it’s one of what I really think about stuff, what’s really in my head.
Now I think with most that can be a scary thing to do…
Now, I do realise that there are many reasons for sharing/not sharing these…as thoughts change, things can be interpreted in different ways, thoughts can be used against you when tides change, the list of dos and don’ts for reasons to/not to, it could go on and on.
If you listen to these and try and balance every single one then I think then you end up deep in some paralysis, which is the antipathies of creativity.
So I’m really not sure which direction it will go in you see, it starts out one way and then I realise I haven’t thought through that angle (which is unusual for me as I’ve been accused as an overthinking pos, so I’m always worried/wary that either someone is wilfully misconstruing it as a way to shape their truth, or I really, truly haven’t thought of that angle, which again is very scary.)
I think that possibly society hasn’t always benefited from certain people keeping their mouths shut (especially when preaching love, humanity and understanding) think the state that we are in all now, shows that, maybe, we should have spoken up sooner, in the schools, in places of education, in the pub, in the places of worship, on the terraces, in the clubs and on the streets.
Another reason to share that sometimes it is cathartic for the author, and it may strike a chord with someone to know someone else thinks like that, encouraging positivity when there was negativity, of course the real high aims of this is to see if you can change someone’s mind from the negative to the positive i.e. from the fascist to the…to the…what is the opposite of fascism? Intelligence? Socialism? Anti-fascist? Normal?
I mean personally speaking I see the Proud Boys sticker on the sign on the border of Salford and Manchester and I wonder what the f**k they are on? I realise that they are parroting another’s ideals, that they really don’t know what this sort of rhetoric is or does or even worse maybe they do…I don’t know, I’m not sure I could sit round a table with any of them and discuss anything, I’m not sure I have the patience for that anymore, having dealt with certain sections of ignorance for a large part of my life.
Another reason I find more applicable to use these days is that you should rigorously inspect those who agree with you when you are making your views known. Check their credentials and past endeavours. Sometime those that side with you are looking to their own agendas and sometimes they are supporting you for other reasons, possibly nefarious, possible ignorance or something else entirely.
I say this because in my older years I’m starting to see the mistakes made and want to share them with you, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m getting older or if I’m just less tolerant of bullshit or a combo of the two that I examine a lot more and apply an awful lot more diligence.
As well I do have the realisation that as I get older I have much less relevance than I once did, especially because of my DNA/Make up/persona/descriptors/demographic and I’m really, truly ok with that. I see it like ageing, it’s something you can’t help and rebelling against it in an inappropriate way, can make you look a little foolish/stupid/nasty.
This leaves me unsure as to my role moving forward, I do feel that this is possibly the only place to share my thoughts and I should as in they seem to be providing an outlook, much different from most of the stuff in the right-wing mainstream, much like being in the pub/club with your mates and talking about stuff, don’t have that right at the mo, so here is where I’ll do it.
Hope that’s ok and I’ll temper these posts with a hashtag so you can avoid them if you just want to see club pictures from Manchester from 1995 to 2019. I’ll title it with one (or all of these!)

How’s that?
That way if you just want the fluffy content, you can avoid the thinking stuff. Winner?
Last week I realised that I missed the pointing out of an insta genius, as the post got a bit heavy, so this week thought I’d share two posts.
The first is as ever evidence of how amazing the world is, and how socialmedia helps that. It starts with me having a thought, writing something exploring that and then boom someone else has the same idea and shares that, I then read the comments and decide if I’m wrong or right. This happened with last week’s post, I asked if I should do some more ‘fashion’ type images as I love doing them and hadn’t had a chance to do any for a while, well Salty certainly came up with the opinion.
Its here at: thatsaltypost
Yep and yep, plus you should read the comments too.
Wow that’s quite a heavy one so I’ll leave you with something else to balance it? That the right word? This caught my eye as what I think sbh is all about, here’s the new ad campaign from Versace (are they cool these days?) I spotted it in Superdrug first, then YouTube and now I’m sharing the insta with you…
Ciao Bella.
