Hot spots. If you've had dogs, you're no doubt familiar with those itchy, painful lesions that are the bane of my existence. While I personally am not afflicted (and were I, I daresay I'd not chew and rip at myself with talon-like toenails), I've had a few dogs with allergic tendencies and hypersensitive skin, and this is precisely what they do. Their desperate attempts to alleviate the itch and the pain only exacerbate the trauma.

I don't know if you've ever tried to reason with a dog, but I've had very little success in this department. Much like trying to reason with a zealot, dogs are fundamentally stuck in their own mindset, and engaging in meaningful dialogue and an exchange of ideas is of no interest. While zealots come in all forms, and the leftist "PC at any cost" zealots serve only to impede progressive causes, it's the far right religious zealots and FOX "News" MAGA hatters who are truly disengaged.

There are a lot of screwy people out there and this one "Jonna" went from itchy dogs to Vagina's and politics. Whatever point Jonna was trying to make was lost in the confusion of ideas "Jonna" put forth. If there was a point it's not apparent. Maybe it's a case of someone who just likes to hear themselves talk or in this case babble. Well, it's mot entertainment, it isn't interesting and Jonna's writings here makes no sense. Jonna, try again please and try to not smoke any of that junk that makes you unintelligible. Maybe just maybe someone will be able to understand what your point is. maybe. One can only hope.

At least now I know it wasn't just me.

After reading Jonna's op/ed I was left wondering, is it me, or is this just nonsense?

Is there really an audience for this, and if so who are they?
