Melissa’s response to recent events - Warning this thread contains political subject matter

I would hate to lose Kiwi too and suspect he’s taking a break rather than quitting, I really hope that’s the case. Many long time contributors myself included have taken breaks then come back.

I agree that what Melissa says on her social media shouldn’t be given any more weight because of who she is. I still believe what she says is a valid forum topic for this site. I will pledge to keep my thoughts on any social issue stuff she posts confined to this thread.

Quoting Brierrose: "While I don’t believe celebrities political views are more important than the views of us regular people they have the same rights to express their opinions as everyone else."

And...people like myself have the right to offer a rebuttal, especially to the likes of "Representative" Bass...who was honored byby a member of Communist Party USA last August. It's not to my shock she represents a tyrannical totalitarian run state like California which is falling apart at the seems. She may deny being a socialist or even communist, but everytime some globalist operative like Bass opens her mouth, she's lying.

And do not even get me started on the corporate elite media who's silence or writing favorably of the likes of Antifa and Black Lives (LIES) Matter has led to all the violence in this country and could lead to an all out second Civil War.

My state CT has a similar congress creature...Rosa DeLauro a woman who has "represented" an area including the leftist enclave of New Haven for a long time...too long if you ask me.

Stewart, inspiration comes from all kinds of sources, viruses and plagues included. There are plenty out their, just look at season 3's 'Of Two Minds' for example. Admittedly timing might be a problem, instead of completely dismissing the idea, maybe file it until we are all hopefully out of the woods.

I see you are considering sending Kara over here to Ireland. I'll love to see that. In Season 5's 'Blurred Lines' Lena make a reference to Dublin after Kara buys her lunch, unfortunately we don't get to see it. If you do send Kara over here, please do me a favor: no stereotypes like leprechauns and we actually do not say things like "Begorrah" or "Top o'dee mornin tee ya".

I'm going to start on my next Supergirl story this week. And I was toying with these sorts of ideas about a new virus in National City, but it seems like that's hitting too close to home now. I was also thinking about something dealing with street demonstrations in the City, but I'd say that's become too politicized for me to touch at this point. I think I'll go back to my "travelogue" type of stories, and send Kara to Ireland this time (probably for a space rescue mission). Of course, I want to get Kara's musical talents in the mix, too. I'm planning to have her meet up with Allie Sherlock and join her onstage in Dublin with her guitar (as Kara Danvers, of course).
How does that sound?

Oh, I already wrote and posted that story. And no, there are no Irish stereotypes in it. ( I try quite hard to avoid any type of stereotyping in my stories.) No, noobdy says anything like "Begorrah!" In fact, Allie Sherlock speaks the same sort of homogenized "Gen Z English" as English-speaking teens anywhere in the world today. When Allie says "Bye, guys!" at the end of her videos, she sounds like a California "Valley Girl".

From my original posting of the story:

Here's a link to my new Supergirl fan fiction story on my Facebook page, "The Crew Dragon Rescue Mission". Yes, it's based on the recent Crew Dragon landing in the Gulf of Mexico. But I changed the location to Ireland, and got the real-life musician Allie Sherlock involved in the story, too.
I hope you like it!
