WV Book Team: Author tells own story to prevent sexual abuse of children This month we spend some time with Diane Tarantini, who uses her experiences and her words to prevent other children from enduring what she did as a child.

Thank you writer friend, Amy Deal, for telling the story of how I came to be a child safety educator in the Charleston Gazette-Mail and the Herald Dispatch here in West Virginia.

What was the highlight of my day? Today I recorded a clip over at @TMZ talking about how THE episode of White Lotus Season 3 feels to a sibling sexual abuse survivor.
Any other SSA survivors out there? Yoohoo? Anybody?

Today's the day, friends.
Wherever you live, gather together with good people to demonstrate your desire to change the future. This is way bigger than today. Bigger than this year or the next four.
And so we march with love and purpose. Together.

Don't check your retirement accounts. Just don't. Our one account didn't lose $10k, didn't lose $20k, didn't lose $30k... Fuuuuuuudge!

I posted this question on Facebook yesterday and wow! The responses were so very heartbreaking.
"If your life is different—better or worse—than it was on January 20, what has changed?"
What about you?

Don't forget to be embarrassed by Greenland's new name: Red White and Blueland.😆

Whoever did the naming, he is not meeting meritocracy standards.

And the leader of this pack says this: "“The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party. A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.”

Gift with purchase if you read the mother jones article. You'll see how they want to make PUBLIC FLOGGINGS GREAT AGAIN.

To understand JD Vance, you need to meet the “TheoBros” These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.

And the SAVE ACT? That looks like it wants to take away a woman's right to vote? Extra! Extra! Read all about where that idea was birthed. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Bill introduced to purchase Greenland and rename it
Red White and Blue Land. Can't make this stuff up, friends.
Pretty sure it'll be so demure. And also so mindless.
