The Royal mail has issued it's new stamps showing characters from British mythology. Stamps are things you put on letters, perhaps you remember them from your youth. Just for fun here's five famous characters from each country in the UK. Which one do you like the best?

Beowulf and Grendel (England). Danish monster gets killed by Beowulf who then slaughters it's grief-stricken mother. Beowolf gets killed by a dragon.

Blodeuwedd (Wales) Man cursed by mother to have no wife. Nice wizards make a woman out of flowers for him. She betrays him and is punished by being turned into an owl each night.

Selkie (Scotland) kinda like a bad mermaid but they transform from human into seals by slipping in and out of seal skin. Like to eat people but easily recognised because they look exactly like seals.

Piskies (Cornwall, we'll class it as a country out of politeness). Little mischievous people who play pranks on travellers but occasionally help out.

Fionn mac Cumhaill (Ireland). Warrior Giant with a magical thumb of knowledge. Builds a causeway to Scotland so he can have fisticuffs with another giant.

Apparently as many as four Neo Nazis waved flags in a deserted street at night in ohio and local black Americans as many as 5 are getting armed, dressing in black wearing balaclavas and patrolling the streets. Seems like another nonsense story. Some of these political activists are grifters. 4 masked men appear on empty streets claiming to be neo nazis and the media makes it seem like the black community is under seige. I call bullshit on the whole thing just like the Jussie Smollet thing. Seen recently and activist shutting down a witness after she was testifying as to what happened in regards to a black girl getting assaulted, apparently the black girl started it.

Honestly I don't think she respects him or sees him as a man. I could never do that to my man but then I respect him and our relationship and he would never put up with all Jada did because he has self respect and is a real man.

Greetings, all. Long time, no chat.

I'm doing research for a book and would like to know what you all think about this.

If you know or remember me, you know I like detailed comments, the more exploratory, the better. GAG is a place to socialize but also to think about the world, and how we all fit together (or don't).

So, I'm asking this question as deliberately and consciously open-ended, so as not to narrow down the thinking too much, but I will say that 'objectification' is key. Write whatever comes to mind. I never delete comments unless you're harassing someone or being extremely rude. Otherwise, I enjoy an array of opinions and angles. Speak your mind, speak your peace, non-anonymized.

I will set one, sort of, parameter, though—I'm not so much interested in, have you ever been an object, or how often, but more so in terms of the hypothetical, how would/did it make you feel?

And, ladies, feel free to comment, but the poll is for the gentlemen this time.

Hope you all are well,
