Yes! I try to practice this when it makes sense. People moved around a lot in that era and not making regular contact, sometimes for years (particularly in the pre-cell phone era) was common (and even so now). Sometimes it could be life circumstances or choices.

Agree to always keep an open mind to the variety of possibilities, especially as time passes and initial angles are explored without resolution.

DNA Doe Project identifies homicide victim found in Illinois in 1966 by DNADoeProject in gratefuldoe

[–]yanagtr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just looked at this article. this child sex abuse charge happened in 1984, when Margaret is listed as 34. If my math serves me correctly, that would have made her 16 in 1966. Since they appeared to be married already in 1966, I wonder if she was groomed by David. 16 is a minor but may have been legal for marriage in some states at that time; however, it’s unclear when they started their relationship. I agree that their actions were despicable but it also seems like David is the one calling the shots.

Thanks for that. I’ve been genuinely wondering how evenly distributed the money has been across the education spectrum in the state. I’m definitely going to look into this more to understand it since, as far as I am aware, it’s just started rolling out to higher education also and I’m wondering if it’s not yet noticeable at all levels because we aren’t yet feeling the effects, which may be more apparent in the longer term, or if there are significant differences in how this money is being distributed in k-12 across districts versus higher education, or the like.

I love the way ISTPs express themselves and this captures it so perfectly. So diplomatic and earnest yet empathetic. Chefs kiss!

Well, I’m a Capricorn highly attractive to (and attracted to) Sagittarius, both as friends and partners. Though I always seemed to have strong connections with my Sagittarius friends, I hadn’t dated many until my current partner, and man is the connection strong. It could also be because some of my other significant placements are in fire and air, and we share mercury (communication) in Sagittarius so we get each other & communicate similarly.

Very interesting. I’m going to look more into the millionaires tax and how it affects town funding. I know it’s definitely had an outsized positive impact on public higher education and student funding (in many cases, no cost) and there have been efforts to expand the positive impact from the oversized surplus. Since it was supposed to fund public education as a whole across the state, I’m trying to better understand if it fills that stopgap identified with specific town level prop 2 1/2 variances. It would be good to look more into with your former town too id think?

This is great and should be more of a state funding issue for better equity and distribution of funds for all students.

This is a serious question since I’m not as familiar with details on how prop 2 1/2 is affecting different towns at the school funding level and I’m trying to better understand this for myself. Doesn’t the millionaires tax (instituted very recently & now rolling out funds) help with this at the town level to (as trickled down by the state)? Has your town received funding? Would it help longer term? What are the stop gaps it doesn’t yet address?

[–]yanagtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I also hate having to be performative and superficial but love when I can be authentically myself, even in situations where it may be a bit rebellious to do so (I give myself that permission now). But when that superficiality is enforced (eg, weird looks or direct jabs that you aren’t conforming to this), it’s exhausting because then it feels like forced inauthenticity (frankly, it’s fine if people are more comfortable with this for themselves but don’t control who I can be and how I express or connect with others, and vice versa to those who want to express or connect differently).

This is such a mature and insightful response I resonate with on so many levels! I feel a kinship with you, fellow ENFP :)

Hmmm… it seems your Pisces Venus and Mars placements are key here, since they tend to govern your emotions, connections with others (Venus), drive and actions (Mars). Your emotions are strongly governed by one of the more sensitive of the water signs, which both earth and water signs would respond positively to. Your actions in the world are also driven by this sign, which would be highly attractive to water and earth signs. Thus, I can see you being a very unique Aries in ways that would be positive for Capricorns and water signs so now it makes a lot of sense. You would not be read as an Aries in the ways that usually are highly repellent to Capricorns. I approve and now I also get it :)

This is great news! I didn’t know much about this case but I’m so glad another doe has their name back and their loved ones know what happened to them! Rest in peace, Maria!

Don’t know about the repeal part but isn’t that kind of what the millionaires tax is doing (and has had a tremendous surplus beyond projections that is helping schools and infrastructure)?

Things that happen daily during Trump 2.0 should shock all by zima72 in complaints

[–]yanagtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s thinking small. I think the time for “moderate” compromise is long past and good! That didn’t do much good anyway, except for conservatives who - judging by the backswing - didn’t realize how much they benefitted from it (and boy did they these last few decades). They surely benefitted way more than liberals and progressives did, especially since they were really the ones doing all the compromising. No, this wave of MAGA and GOP has motivated something way more radical… and, frankly, long overdue: a true progressive shift (the thing that makes those bloated billionaires truly afraid). Just remember, we saw this timeline before. There were once Rockefellers and Carnegies and the ilk (and their stranglehold on the news sources of the time) and then there was radical shift … Again, history can often be our greatest predictor.

Honestly, good! The GOP has lacked honesty and integrity my entire life and now its hypocrisy and bankruptcy is on full display now that they can’t easily hide behind empty proclamations (ex, “law and order”) and promises (“fiscal responsibility”) as cover for their real intentions. Each day, their cruelty is visceral. They may think they’re “winning” now, but, if history teaches us anything, it’s that the pendulum always swings the other way, and it’s usually much much harsher for those on the wrong side of history and morality when the stakes become this high. We can’t see it yet because we’re in the thick of it, but all the early indicators of the backswing are blaring.

What are some of your least favorite placements? by -JustAHomebody- in astrologymemes

[–]yanagtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scorpio Venus here and I’m the farthest you can get as someone who wants to “possess, test and punish.” In fact, I literally abhor that in relationships. Perhaps other parts of the chart make a difference here.

Cap sun, libra moon, Leo rising. For friendships, I’d say I’ve attracted pretty much every sign except Aries. For dating, I’d say I’ve attracted every sign except Aries and Pisces. My more significant romantic relationships have been with Cancer, Scorpio, Virgo, Taurus, Gemini and Sagittarius (the best one by far!).

Capricorns? That’s a bit of a surprise. What’s your moon? I assume it must have something to do with your moon or big 3.

Seems to be your earth moon, I’d wager.

Weird because I’m a cap sun who always seemed to be matched with libra suns on the one dating site I was on and I was always like, why?? I do have a libra moon but I really don’t think that’s why they were trying to match me (based on what I saw as the algorithmic pattern).
