Ah, that’s what bugs me about it - the attention whoring.

I always want to be so open and positive when I see this stuff, but I have a sibling with BPD, and sometimes this stuff screams BPD to me.

Eh, I have a feeling there’s a chance for them should they want it. I’m not entirely buying the cult argument with them - there are plenty of small families around who feel the same, and fundie churches with those rules.

Ugh. From the Daily Beast:

Oh no, feminism and the plight of women at that time are a main theme. My mother worked in advertising in NY during that time, as a secretary and hand model - I’m kind of afraid for her to start watching it, may bring a lot of frustration back to the surface.

Did you read the piece? She basically explains that. Women are much more free now.

This one is so pretty!

I hate my ankles - long live the maxi dress!

Me too!

I just entered my ultra right wing conspiracy theorist cousin; is that so wrong?

She is not calling the protesters thugs.

Right - the day before, a mob surrounded a police car, and things looked right about on the edge. Doubt he was sitting there watching CNN as I was, but surely someone was - he didn’t need the mayor to call him in sooner.

Right. The n-word is entirely different - “thug” doesn’t need to be racist just because it is sometimes meant that way. The mayor obviously knew it was a loaded word but I think she was trying to drive home the distinction between protest and crime.

Bullshit, people’s babies and grandmas live in that community too - the one CVS that offered diapers and prescriptions in the neighborhood was not oppressing. The feelings of rage are obviously justified but this started as a coordinated teenage effort and became more. You lower the bar too far for the rioters (won’t…

Exactly. Why is that so difficult for so many?

Wrong, the white college students are thugs too.
