And for what it’s worth a friend of mine is a (liberal feminist) pastor in KC and in response to this her congregation is going to take in more troops. And buy more cookies.

Just throwing this in, since it’s a point of confusion that always seems to come up - Kansas City, KS, is the smaller KC, and is actually only the 3rd largest city in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Kansas City, MO, is the larger one that most people think of, and is home to the Chiefs, Royals, the zoo, most of the…

When I was ten years old, I stood in a huge hall at a Girl Scout rally and belted out I Am Woman with over a thousand other scouts. Easily the highlight of Scouting for me, the moment I realized that all of us together were a powerful force for change. My little girl is a Scout now, and I hope she feels the same wild…

I never had time to visit with them. If we took any time to see family, we couldn’t even take a long weekend in the summer for camping. Now…

I’m lower middle class and chose Long Vacation because I work in the seasonal service industry and my odds of getting more than a 10 cent raise, even if I’m given a good evaluation and having worked for my company for 3 years, is slim. So give me three months to decompress and do whatever.

It’s not just the long summer vacations. It’s the feelings that came with the long summer vacations...

I’m a capitalist tool!

I am a capitalist tool who can have more vacations with or without booze if I got a raise.

Oh, Geez. Why can’t these danged white supremacists stab each other? They certainly argue a lot, as we saw during the Malheur occupation. It’s not too much to ask them to escalate just a wee bit, is it?

Timothy Caughman was murdered because he was Black and yet the media still paints him as the problem. Here’s how the Daily News reported this:

“Kris made her suppress her true self,” says a rep for Caitlyn, teasing the sort of allegations that will be made in the memoir. “Caitlyn resents Kris for a life she didn’t get to live.”

‘Cause nothing says ‘hippie’ like a multi-national corporate-consumerist conglomerate headed by a homophobic billionaire CEO

She does look great, but I’m skeptical of that size 4 thing. She looks like I did at a size 8.
