THE TIME TUNNEL - A BOONDOGGLE?

In the pilot episode of Irwin Allen’s “The Time Tunnel” (1967) Senator Clark is flown to a mysterious research base in the middle of the desert. The desert is absolute flat, with no building or structures nearby. A car arrives and takes him to the complex - which is underground - an opening in the desert floor appears and the car drives down a ramp.

There, project scientist Dr. Douglas Phillips (Robert Colbert) gives the Senator a tour. He shows him:

Eight buildings built underground, explains each is 800 floors with over 12,000 working in each structure.

That’s only 15 people assigned to each floor.

A complex of 800 floors is estimated to be 11,200 feet deep or over 2 miles underground.

Compare that to the deepest underground structure today in China (the Jinping Laboratory) - only 1.5 miles!

What do all those people do? Those structures are rarely seen after the pilot and at the most maybe 2 dozen employees are ever shown. No wonder the Senator was investigating a potential boondoggle at the Tax Payers expense!

I was taught as a child that my duty until I was married, was to serve my father as if he was my husband. This would prepare me to be a good wife. What did that look like? It looks like making my every moment about serving my dad. Cleaning his home, cooking his food, making sure that his every desire was met from the time he woke up until he fell asleep. 

So many of my friends were abused by their fathers. They were taken advantage of. They were made to believe that it was their fault for not being good enough daughters. They were taught that this was the way that they would be treated by their future spouses. We were taught that our purpose in life was to serve our current abusers and to look forward to our father giving us to a man of his choice- so that the man he gave us to could abuse us in the future. 

Excommunication was a blessing. It hurts, but not as much as a lifetime of isolation and abuse would have. Here’s to a better future.

The Time Tunnel 1x28 “The Kidnappers”

When Dr. MacGregor is kidnapped by aliens from the Future, Doug and Tony are sent to rescue her.

Things to enjoy:

everybody being friends and caring for and loving each other and demonstrating it

no jealousy whatsoever between Doug and Tony re: Ann and she seems to love them both a lot

I believe in OT3s

General Kirk and Dr. Swain also do the clinging thing because they, too, are friends and care for each other

this episode shows how good Tony and Doug have gotten at this whole “time travel dumped into dangerous adventures” thing:

Tony and Doug speak without words a lot, either through looks or quick touches or just knowing how the other will move

They’re on the exact same wavelength about everything

They’re brave, and put on a united front always; nothing shocks them and not much actually seems to intimidate them anymore? They’ve come into their own as a team and it’s just <3

Roy Moore and Republicans:  Women Belong In The Home, Not In Politics 

"Alabama Republican Senate Candidate Roy Moore co-authored a study course, published in 2011 and recently obtained by ThinkProgress, that instructs students that women should not be permitted to run for elected office. If women do run for office, the course argues, people have a moral obligation not to vote for them.

The course is also critical of the women’s suffrage movement, which in 1920 secured some American women the right to vote. The course, called “Law and Government: An Introductory Study Course,” includes 28 hours of audio and visual lectures given by Moore and others, as well as a study guide. The course is available for purchase on Amazon, where “Chief Justice Roy Moore” is listed as a co-author alongside Doug Phillips, Dr. Joseph C. Morecraft, and Dr. Paul Jehle.”*   

“Since daughters are ‘given in marriage’ by their fathers, an obedient daughter will desire her father to guide the process of finding a husband, although the final approval of a husband belongs to her,” the tenets state.  #CHATTEL #WomensRights

Guilty of an Education

Out of all my friends, I am the only one who got more than a 7th-grade education.

As a girl, I didn’t need to have an education. I needed to know how to run a house and care for little ones. Education meant that I would have opinions, ideas, it meant me being smarter than the man that I was arranged to marry. We couldn’t have that now could we?

I used academia as an escape. I wanted to learn everything. Yes, I was pulled aside by church leaders to be told that this would make me less eligible, that it was sinful, and that I needed to repent. I repented of the pride that caused me to desire to know new things, but I kept on learning for the sheer love of learning.

Now I’m a college student. I’m still learning, and I still love learning. Does the guilt ever go away though? It weighs so heavy on me. I wonder if one day I will be able to say “I’m a college student” without waiting to be reproached. I wonder if one day I will be able to share about a book I’ve been reading, or tell someone a fact I know, without worrying that they will shun me for it. I just wish that I could erase the part of me that is ashamed of who I am.
