My future was decided by the judge I feared most Nimisha Ladva ~ The Cruelty Is the Point ~ Chiliquila Ogletree ~ Business owner says gay people “need to be called out.” Let’s see how he likes it. ~ Jamilah Lemieux likes to call Black Men “Negroid” ~ nightclub shooting ~ @mattklewis @billscher ~ i’ve been told i interrupt too much ~ he gives her a drug called a popper ~ great speckled bird ~ What is the meaning of this quote: “We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”? ~ @SonofBaldwin We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist. ~ Deadly shooting at Buckhead club: ‘Throwing bottles … then pow, pow, pow’ ~ The tragic end of Telltale Games ~ the people more facebook logic ~ @BetteMidler The too brief investigation of allegations against Kavanaugh infuriated me. Angrily I tweeted w/o thinking my choice of words would be enraging to black women who doubly suffer, both by being women and by being black. I am an ally and stand with you; always have. And I apologize. ~ 16 Movies Where the Actors Really Had Sex ~ Problems in Social Sciences ~ Why “I’m not racist” is only half the story ~ bette midler ~ please copy this ~ Forgiveness Is Overrated ~ toxic masculinity ~ You Can’t Cure Depression By Working Out ~ I got a hoax academic paper about how UK politicians wipe their bums published ~ Maybe you can’t cure depression by running. However, you can get a virtual buzz by thinking of the correct phrase to google, to find an amusing article you saw a few months ago. ~ fb hoax ~ @TalbertSwan White women kneeling during the anthem to protest “rape culture” is highjacking a movement you took no risks for. You didn’t kneel in solidarity to protest the murder of Black people, don’t co opt & make it about your victimization. That’s white supremacy in the name of feminism. ~ @TalbertSwan That’s exactly what it is. To change the meaning of #TakeAKnee from a movement led by Black men to protest injustice against black people to a liberal white woman led protest against rape culture is hijacking. It’s offensive & epitomizes white supremacy. ~ A fire service in the region dubbed the ‘obesity capital of Britain’ has been called out 50 times to help winch severely overweight people out of their homes and into ambulances. ~ This is a substantial work. I look forward to seeing a live performance of this. As a male, there are some mixed feelings about the content. A poem should inspire more than one emotion. One criticism I have of this video is the church steeple on the left side of the screen. That was a distraction. The phallic symbolism of the steeple is ironic. The rest of the staging is good, particularly the lighting of the two poets. ~ I recently sent a link to the Paul Gilmartin story to a friend. He is in the AA program, and I thought he would enjoy the atory. Here is the email I sent with that link. This is a link to a story. It is an AA war story. It starts at 20 minutes. There is another story here. The first story in this show is about an Indian lady, who does not like her Jewish mother in law. At ten minutes into the show, the bride says “I am going to have to spend the day with a racist.” At this point, I turned off the show in anger. I am sensitive to the term racist, for perfectly obvious reasons. I did not want to listen to the rest of the show. When I decided to send you the link, I had to listen to the part of the show around the 20 minute mark, so I could know when the war story started. I set the timer for 18 minutes, and listened to the end of the mother in law story. There is a twist in the story, and everyone is friends now. The bride says “I am ashamed of reducing her to her racism.” ~ It is frequently speculated that the homophobe is secretly gay. The need to be heard badmouthing gays stems from a perceived need to prove heterosexuality. Could this be the case with the anti racist? Maybe the anti-racist is secretly afraid that they might be a racist. The “calling out” of others, for perceived racism, is an effort to overcompensate for their own shortcomings. ~ What is going on? I was just in the greenspace. A swatch of land, on the north side of the space, just below the parking lot, has been clear cut. The woods to the south of the parking lot have been thinned out. A twenty foot wide gash, leading away from below the parking lot to a spot a few hundred yards below, has been bulldozed out. What is going on? ~ If you like the links at the drudge report, you should go to my blog on monday morning. I keep a document on my desktop. Whenever I go to anywhere, I make a copy of the url. It is a handy habit, for a number of reasons. On monday every week, I publish the notes from the previous week. The pictures this week are from the farm security administration. The government hired a bunch of photographers during the depression to document the conditions. All these photographs are in the public domain. There was a law… if you worked for the government, you could not claim a copyright. This week the pictures are oil workers from Oklahoma in 1939. ~ Is is misogyny to use *Becky* as a slur for white women? ~ Wikiquotes says “Do what you feel…” was “As quoted in How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1944; 1948) by Dale Carnegie;” ~ What is rather amusing is the quote above this. “Oh! I want to put my arms around you, I ache to hold you close. Your ring is a great comfort. I look at it and think she does love me or I wouldn’t be wearing it!” In a letter to Lorena Hickok, March 7, 1933 ~ @KngHnryVIII There once was a girl named Boleyn, Who lured my codpiece to sin, After we wed, She cheated my bed, And I divorced her neck from her chin ~ That quote is not found on the James Baldwin wikiquotes. A gentleman named Robert Jones Jr., who uses the pen name Son of Baldwin, is given credit for that phrase. ~ @euflorium #OddThingsToAskAVampire Why don’t you suck fat instead of blood? @pints_and_puns How do you like your stake? #OddThingsToAskAVampire ~ “When decrying racism opens no door and teaches no skill, it becomes a schoolroom tattletale affair. It is unworthy of all of us: “He’s just a racist” intoned like “nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!”” ~ defiled mostly by her step brother, who knocks her up and beats her down, alone in the woods becoming a mother, leaving her on the brink of death town, they clean her up and take her in, rich wife dies alone in child birth, drag her to wet nurse his baby of sin, calls the women a harlot of the earth, when her milk stops she still says sir, he sometimes apologizes for raping her, step brother comes back to extort money, rape her once more for good times honey, they make love again and now it’s true, knowing she bit off more than she could chew ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah
