Depending on where on the bell-curve you perceive "woke" and "anti-woke", you could go from absolute pot stirrer to (more like where I place them, seeing both extremes as not affecting me at all... I don't even consider these terms.) Level headed, middle of the road.
Purple is a great colour. It's rich, royal and feels expensive... That's why it was my favourite for a long time .... But then I realized that Green is the middle of our visual spectrum. Midway between red and Violet/purple. Our eyes actually evolved to center on green and everything else was an outlier. It's really mother naturey and that makes sense to me.
I like both Purple/Violet and Green but for different reasons
1605... 30 full barrels of gunpowder under the Parlement building of London. Would have blown the ever loving shit out of every politician in England had it worked. The Conspirators (Catholics... well religion and politics. You know how it goes.) would have succeeded if they hadn't been ratted out by an anonymous letter.
The culprits were caught, hung, drawn and quartered and hung up around London... although James I did say to Guy Fawkes before he was hung "I like your style."
That although the ducks at the duck pond are free and can be taken home... Its difficult to keep them at your home unless you have a tempting duck habitat i. e. a pond and lots of grubs, worms and reed plants.
Please don't take the free ducks home if you plan on keeping them in your spare room. They will not be happy and will let you know this in there own duckish manor.
Or anywhere really.

Herb Albert (who signed Karen Carpenter).Just in a super mellow mood.
So this atom returns to the pub begging the bartender and the patrons "Oh, good golly! I've lost one of my here electrons! Has anyone seen it?!"
The owner says. "No one has reported anything. Are you sure you've lost it?"
To which the atom replied, "Yes! I'm positive!"
.....
The next day...
Having a pint, the bartender sees the atom from yesterday and calls the ion up to the bar and says "Just yesterday, you say you lost an electron. Well we found it and here it is." Rolling it across the bar. The atom, now very happy says "Yeah! That's the one! Amazing! Thank you! What can I do to repay you?!"
The bartender, with a sly wink, says "No charge."
A stitch in time saves nine.
This refers to a time when clothes were hard to come by and often homemade. If they tore, a small tear could be fixed with one stitch of needle and thread, but if let go too long, it would take many more stitches to repair a bigger rip.
Change your oil (or tires) in time, or change your car.
I'd bet you dollars to RAM...
Also, I enjoy etymology. To me donuts will always be doughnaughts. (Naught meaning nothing or zero. Essentially zeroes made of dough.)
I came here for this comment. Thanks OP.
