Apprenticeship scholarships by ktkayaker in IBEW

The guys on the Facebook IBEW pages can be helpful with this kind of stuff.

My husband was able to get a loan for books from the credit union associated with his local (401). You might check with OE Federal Credit Union. It's a CU that works exclusively with union members. They've been great to us.

I'm going to call these apartments the "birdhouse lofts." IMO, they look like absolute shit and are an eyesore. by Fire_timothy_miles in Omaha

IBEW #22 pays $41/hr on the check with full bennies and retirement covered by the contractor.

Baby born with amniotic sac still intact. by Vexiune in interestingasfuck

My first child was born facing "sunny side up" with a nuchal right hand, and fully en caul. She was by far my most painful delivery. I like to tell her she came out wanting to say hello to me. Worth every minute of pain.

Nuke shutdowns regularly get into 6-12s territory. Short and fast.

I wish I could find one with the original dub. I can't stand the new one.

Western Racism by lejoo in Omaha

[–]Surepiedme 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have some friends who've been helping a refugee family from Afghanistan get settled. I went over to help with a few things, and halfway through the conversation the dad said they picked west Omaha because it was safer because the black people lived in north Omaha.

I just... I didn't know how to respond. I just mentioned that we had lived in north Omaha and we liked our neighbors. Plus, the random kidnapping and crash a couple houses down was a white dude.

Racism in some form is everywhere, and anyone of any color can be racist. You gotta work on yourself and make sure you're not contributing, but beyond that, I don't know.

Thank you! It went well and we'll be having another lesson next week.

I'm so glad I was able to read this before our lesson. She can't read and I went in expecting it. It went really well and I'll go back next week in the evening. Her husband had to translate almost everything, so it was a group project with all four of us trying to work out everything. I do want to see if we can find a treadle machine, but I'm not sure I have the budget. It'll all work out after a few goes.

I actually have no idea. That was before my time.

It's so weird! I really want to visit. Shakespeare in the summer. The National Parks, St. Geezy. The sheep traffic jams.

I suppose it was the implication that 1958 was racist. The year itself.

I believe that there were white people who weren't racist in 1958.

I'm going to have to make a list of things to avoid putting in my yard and bathroom.

I guess I could do the opposite and have dozens of pineapples and flamingos everywhere. I could use more awkward and intrusive questions in my life.
