Yes, that is true. The Triangle Shirt Factory in New York City seems to be not only a commercial sin but forgotten mostly. This is newer.

This is a Triangle Shirtwaist Fire waiting to happen (and she still won’t give a damn, because there’s still Bangladesh willing to take on even worse labor practices)

Yes, keep you rights as a citizen. So many states and even precincts are putting up ridiculous barriers. Shades of Jim Crow. It wasn’t that long ago.

TBH, I’m a little worried that the people who unregister will run into difficulty reregistering. The GOP lives to take away voting rights and I just don’t trust them.

As if the disease wasn’t bad enough, and navigating sexuality and taking pills wasn’t bad enough for teenagers, now the Republicans want to shove down the nation’s throats a healthcare bill that guts the Medicaid expansion, gives the states control over how (and who) gets treated with the Medicaid funds that will…

Live by the ivory, die by the ivory.

I’m only sad that the elephant that killed him died.

**Catalina update**

All the “patriots” protesting their removal aren’t even from New Orleans. Mind your own towns. The people of New Orleans have spoken and they wanted them gone.

They put the animals through extreme levels of torture before killing them, believing that the adrenaline in the animal meat will be beneficial/tastier. That’s a step above a BBQ festival imho.

More people I know are going back to breeders because of the ridiculous hoops that shelters are making adopters jump through.

I want to move to the Southwest and live in the countryside. There are many wild animals everywhere and I love that. I don’t get ranchers who think that wolves are “predators.” Yellowstone is their home, they hunt what they eat, while those ranchers could get up and move anywhere farther away from wolves and other…

White on white crime smdh when will they learn?

When I was in my 2o’s, I had a cute butt, perky tits and tiny waist. (But no silicone tits right under my chin.) Now I’m almost 67. After two pregnancies and a hard bout with breast cancer 18 year ago, I have a saggy ass, thick waist, poochy tummy and lopsided boobs. I still go to the gym to increase my muscle mass,…

I believe the contention here is not that the system is good or bad per se, but that the current commander in chief doesn’t have a clue about what he is talking about, and to make such remarks off the cuff is disingenuous at best.  Furthermore, saying that the new system costs a lot and that you are not going to use…

I’m 5'3" and I look like a cadaver at 110, which is how much I weighed most of the time in college (or less). Of course, I did not see it that way, only now when I see pictures I realize how bad it was. After a serious surgery, I weighed only 90 lbs and thought I was still fat. This was when anorexia was just…

I’m glad they dropped the BMI thing and switched to just confirming health with a doctor. There are some people who really are just tall and skinny build-wise, while for others they’d have to do something unhealthy to be that thin. BMI is so bad. By BMI I am nearly obese (or am, depending on some people’s…

Meanwhile, at JazzFest, even though it was the last day, I heard Zydeco, swamp rock, Kermit Ruffin’s tribute to Louis Armstrong and some gutbucket blues. I ate Shrimp and Grits, Shrimp Creole, Smoked Turkey and Alligator Sausage Gumbo, Begniets and Mango Freeze, washed down with iced and hot Cafe au Lait. I made a…

I had gone to do housework and cook and all that fun weekend jazz and was away from the internets. I actually said ‘oh thank freaking god’ when I looked at facebook.

We have all been there, but as helgaperez writes, just act as though you’
