God told Mary and Joseph to flee to Egypt with baby Jesus. They were refugees. Bet Johnson would have denied them entry.

When my son was in school he got a Chromebook. I HATED that so much as we had serious issues with apps he was able to download. My husband is a programmer and even he had problems finding and deleting #kidlitchat

Critique Partner Matchup - Google Groups

Writers looking for critique partners: don't forget the crit partner match up, an active match-up that uses the same method I did to snag my first excellent partners over a decade ago: groups.google.com/g/critique-p...

I was a bilingual teacher at South Whittier school district when this happened. My students were afraid and often asked if La migra came to our class, would I let them take them. Parents shared stories of La migra hiding and ambushing family by the school. The fear was real.

Let’s just say addicts can say one thing when in fact they’re doing something else. They are good at lying. Big le sigh

I feel so stupid after a recent incident with a close family member that sadly involved that person making very poor choices. I should have seen the red signs on this. Le sigh

We see what they do with predators. In our country they’re rewarded, while the victims are shamed, not believed, and labeled bad, disgusting or blamed.

I’m a mutt. Mexican great-grandmother’s family were migrant workers from a town in Sonora. That line’s history is fascinating. The first Acuna came over with Cortez. He in fact was a converso-fleeing the Spanish Inquisition.

My dad’s grandmother was a Van Buren-yup, I’m related to Martin Van Buren. They came from Holland and settled in NY. Some ended up in YOLO county-around what’s now Sacramento. My great-grandmother married an Irish servant. He left her after the first war.

Not sure but it was enough to piss off the brother. Great-grandfather first settled in South Africa and even fought a war there before coming to SoCal and settling in San Bernardino-Reche Canyon. Said it reminded him of Italy

One side-rumor has it my Italian great-grandfather had a fling with the sister of the black shirts in 1870s. Modern day Mafia.
