Trump racism and anti-blackness defines him.
He has always been who he is now. It's just that the truth started way back and I knew it because, back in the day, I read the newspapers from NYC for fun. They actually called him and his father out for who they really were.
Surprises when least expected!
We went out to a local art gallery tonight to see the opening of a show that included one of my sibling's art and their best friend's art. We were very excited to see it because these artists usually don't show in our area! As we arrived in the nearby city, we pulled into a nearby parking lot and got out.
In the entrance to the lot, there was a woman with a table and some political info and I stopped by to see it. We talked a bit and then she said my name! I looked closer and realized I knew her as well. When I was an elementary classroom aide and substitute, she was one of the teachers. She convinced me to go back to school to finish my degree and get my teaching license, including a recommendation letter to a local university that had a special program for adults returning to school.
I had not seen her in years, but did think of her from time to time. Now, here's the crazy thing! Today, I was going through some old files in my home office and ran into that recommendation letter she wrote for me. I thought to myself how I'd missed her and wondered how she was doing these days.
Not four hours later, there I was catching up with her in a random parking lot! We hugged! This world can be so small sometimes!!!
Rights you have from birth are slowly stripped away by conservative politicians.
Constructs are created to control. Medical debt? Student debt? Remove these constructs and you have instant freedom.
Universal healthcare would remove the employer's control of your health insurance and allow you to move from job to job, or if you lose your job, and still have health care.
just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out
EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!
if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.
if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to
PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply
figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list
In my settings, this was auto-disabled for all my blogs. You might still want to check yours, especially if you've been hanging out in my replies/comment section as a way to avoid putting anything from my blog on your blog
Reblog if you think the person you reblogged this from deserves to be happy.

The fraud was a white person, yet white Republicans used disinformation and manipulation to attack Somalis. #despicable
Democrats need to show voters how they are going to bring the country forward, not back to what was not working.

Choices.
I miss the days when a woman had the right to do whatever she needed to do with her body as she needed to. By that, I mean when I needed an abortion (due to rape), my parents could just take me to get one; when I was an adult and made a mistake, I could go to planned parenthood and get an abortion; that when I needed birth control I could just get it; when I need a gynecology check up with no health insurance or doctor, I went to planned parenthood and also got my birth control; when I decided I was done after the birth of my intentional child, I was able to get my tubes tied with no reason or awkward questions from my provider.
Now, it is so very scary and prohibitive for women. I am soooo extremely angry that they do not have the freedom of choices, as needed, as I had. I work through some of that anger by continuing to send donations to Planned Parenthood, as I have since they first helped me. It is only one thing I can do, other than vote, which I always do.
Women are not voiceless, and I will not shut up.

42
Mr Boot do you HONESTLY need a better reason than The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
it's the genX 67
My first convo with a 10 yr old neighbor about 67 included my explanation of how 67 was a secret reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's 42, because 6x7 is 42. I had this convo with them because I knew they'd read the book! Their freakin' mind blew up! And they spread the news to everyone they knew.
But training on "synthetic stories" that model good AI behavior can help.
Gee, maybe if they hadn't started out by STEALING all that dystopian SF to train their autocomplete machine, this wouldn't be happening... :/

Women's Rights.
I watched the PBS program of the musical "Suffs" this weekend. If you haven't heard of or have, but haven't watched, it was amazing! I already knew the history of the women's suffragette movement, but to see it played out, set to music, including the most historically important women, was riveting. I loved being reminded of how far we had to work and protest, to come to a place of equality, but also of how far we still have to go and how fast the current political climate is pushing us backward. Please watch!
