my only point of contention is that neighborhood isn’t upper middle class. The homes are 4,000-6,000 sq ft and a few north of $4M-$5M. even with Bay Area adjustment for cost of living and income that’s well into upper class/just plain rich territory.

I would actually love a book that concentrated on them and the culture they lived in rather than more speculation on the identity of their murderer.

I think because I’ve done social media professionally in the past I’ve gotten especially forgiving of different user modalities... People interpret social spaces online *so* differently.

A 20 year age gap is never ok.

Also, this.

Is this like some Lil Sebastian thing?

She wanted people to look.

Jez has been misrepresenting this story since it started - they’re giving it the same spin as Breitbart, ffs.

The thing that pisses me off the most is Emmett Till’s momma showed the brutality done to her baby to show the truth. This “artist” used lynch porn to show how big a SJW she is and got mad we didn’t give her a gold star and a kiss on the nose for caring.

He wants to be King Consort which has been a thing in Denmark in the past. That does seem like a slight and not a thing he made up.

I think there is speculation that Camilla will be queen when Charles ascends to the throne. Wasn’t Diana slated to be queen? And won’t Kate eventually?

I realized recently that I DO NOT KNOW how to think about my body or my weight or fitness. I joined Beachbody because I was still hanging on to seasonal depression in fucking July and thought some physical movement might help me get out of the rut. It did! My goal was better mental health and I met it and will…

Humanity has done lots of things for thousands of years that don’t “work.” People don’t fast because it actually clears their body of “toxins,” people fast because it makes you high. Same as meditation.

I don’t speak my Indigenous language, although my dad is a fluent speaker. He has a master’s degree and as kids, he told my brother and I that our language is not a “language of commerce”, meaning that we didn’t need to know it to get jobs. So we don’t speak it. I’m much more interested in recovering traditional…
