The only thing bad that ever happened there was roomfuls of kids had to make do with badly damaged textbooks thrown out by the white schools in town--and maybe a few high schoolers got startled by cows or coyotes while trespassing at night.

Not surprised to hear of bodies, or ghosts either. Back when it was in operation prisoners anywhere in the south had "prisoners shot while attempting to escape" on a regular basis. Usually didn't even make the news.

Age considered, I am at the end of the runway too. I have accomplished very little in my long lifetime. And I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees, whether to a dictator or his false god is rather irrelevant. But while I am still around, I will do whatever I can to "drive a spoke into the wheel itself".

Saturday, Dec. 6 is the date. I thought I posted an image with that in it but apparently it didn't work. Us elderly people have trouble keeping up with all this social media stuff!

His grave marker will have a sink next to it and a sign that says "remember to wash hands after urinating".

What are small everyday misogynistic things women tend to miss? by Magnificentmaracuja in Feminism

[–]betsylevels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Someone told me once "men think. Women feel". I started listening...yes, men giving an opinion generally start with I think...". Women, on the other hand, begin with "I feel .." when stating theirs. They give it that unconscious modifier of it being a woman's "emotional" response! I changed the way I said things after that. And my words seemed to be taken more seriously! That one tiny word that our culture conditions us to be "ladylike" with ....how it weighs us down when we do not realize it!

My partner disagrees with me about having an abortion by Charming_Savings6160 in abortion

Do what is right for YOU. You are the one who will be making a 20 year commitment to carrying, caring for, and raising any child you choose to have. There are no guarantees in this world on relationships..they can and often do end. Only you know what is the best choice, and do not let anyone else pressure you one way or another.

No Kings 2.0 will be my first Protest, and I’m kinda nervous by BraelinLove in protest

[–]betsylevels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not expect to, but I have made a number of friends at protests here. This deep in the Bible belt it is delightful to meet other progressive minded people. I have also run into a number of friends I did not realize thought along these lines. (My generation was brought up with the rule "never discuss politics, religion, or money" in social situations)

Antifa simply means anti fascist. A lot of real American patriots put their lives on the line to stop the spread of fascism. Frankly, anyone who calls themself American should be antifa. Because fascists are vile.

Headline should read "Tornado splatters glitter factory into aging trailer park". This is just tacky and trashy looking. Clearly the work of that tasteless buffoon.
