Girl from Downers Grove

I taught in a public school for 26+ years. I'd be picketing inside the school board meetings, I'd be contacting local tv stations, I'd probably end up fired. But I would not stay quiet about this. P.S. Linda McMahon has no business anywhere near public education.

This is so depressing, I have to try to make light of it. Does anyone remember Seinfeld, when the local "villain" Newman would do something to screw things up and Seinfeld would say "Newman!" in a disgusted voice? That's how I think of saying RFK Jr.'s name now, "RFK Jr!"

As vaccine panel prepares hepatitis B review, CDC and industry experts are excluded @statnews.com
CDC and manufacturer experts not consulted in ACIP review, raising concerns over transparency, science, and the future of the hepatitis B vaccine schedule.

I posted this & then decided it was too long of a story, but long story short once in Afghanistan I did BDA after an Apache strike & found an incapacitated enemy combatant & instead of calling in a 2nd strike I called in a medivac

Because that’s what you are supposed to do in the US military

Yes, yes I do! "I'm listening..."

Love it! Bette Boop has attitude.

And for the first time in his life (child of parents who owned an emerald mine in SA), wealth will not get him out of it, because 'you can't take it with you.' Hah!

There's a special place in Hell for that wanker.

The rhetoric today is nearly indistinguishable from Know-Nothing rhetoric about the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews.

Re: my post about the American Cowboy documentary, explaining how the Black cowboy said "but, who's starting and stopping the watch?", regarding prejudice in rodeos, his name was Cleo Hearn. He died this past November 11, just 22 days ago, at age 86. Rest in peace, good sir, life well lived.

How convenient!

Died of unknown causes at the age of 29. Very sad.

Watching Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories, season 1 ep 4 2023, The American Cowboy. Host interviewing a Black cowboy who's explaining the rodeo system. Host muses the man might like timed events instead of judged to avoid prejudice. Cowboy says "but, who's starting and stopping the watch?"

Exactly--Trump doesn't measure up to his own demographic, white men. Open up the field, there are even more men he won't measure up to--hah!

At her peak, she'd be the top dancer in just about any ballet company, world-wide.

Some of the most beautiful performances of dance I've seen have been performed by people of all different shades on the stage together. It's more powerful when it represents the true diversity of life.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Hayes: I'll level with you here. I too am a great believer in naps. I do try to avoid them while I'm on air with you. It goes without saying that the 79 year old president is no Thomas Edison

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.”

But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

Don't ANY of these people involved in Trump's regime realize that history is watching them? That the whole bunch of them will be studied for their complete lack of remorse, their complete willingness to join with the man who told the most lies in history?

This is Magnus. He just beat cancer. His family wrote the big news on their car and bought him balloons to celebrate. Magnus got so much love from strangers the whole way home. His human said, "I hope everyone has a Magnus in their lives, who shows them what determination and strength are." 14/10

We'd be back in the poorest of the poor countries with USAID. It is unknown how many people have died from hunger when the wealthiest person in the world, ever, cut off their funding. I can't believe the content of that sentence, and I wrote it...

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.
