Durham county has municipal primary elections this coming Tuesday, the 7th and it’s crazy how difficult it is to find info on candidates with a simple search.

To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this:

For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.

Whiskey, needlepoint, baseball on tv, and then a book before bed. Guess how old I am.

Sometimes, I read through my Dictionary of Southern Appalachian English and find gems like this.

I was a at safety-net hospital today and the NP told me that their outpatient clinic no-shows has sky-rocketed because of ICE. And as a result, sicker patients are showing up the ER close to death's door. This just makes me so sad. #medsky

I live in NC and my family roots are all over Western NC and TN. I absolutely love the area.

Release the Epstein list. Blur out names to protect victims but release the list. I don’t care who the hell's on it. If someone hurt and traumatized kids, it's one of the worst crimes against humanity and those monsters need to be exposed. The victims deserve justice.

Hilarious Stories of Humiliation and Sadness Even while exploring how the internet warps us, Tony Tulathimutte’s β€˜Rejection’ never loses its humanistic sensibility.

"Try as he might, he cannot get any of the women in his circle to see him as a romantic prospect. Has he done something wrong?...What gives? You see where this is going. The feminist eventually completes his transformation into another shibboleth: an incel."
