We don’t like Annie’s in our house. The kids always can tell. They like “Back to Nature” and Pirate Booty brand.

How did Geillis know should would be transported to the 18th century? What if she wanted to support the Jacobites but ended up in 1249?

I can think of 2 times I was assaulted on the subway (men rubbed their erections against me) and 1 time on a MetroNorth commuter train (a guy jerking off in the seats across of me). I can’t imagine that the statistics in this country would be so different.

I was going to make a similar comment. “Wandering” has very specific connotations that are not at all evident in this story.

It is so mentally exhausting to see white people get so exercised about acknowledgement of the dark parts of American history while insisting that it is all in the past so we should just move on. If it is all in the past, then why get so upset when someone brings it up?

EDIT: I had my timeline wrong - see RealFlamingjune’s post in this thread for the correct info.

If I recall the story correctly, she was out on bail pending her trial and she violated the court order not to have contact with him.

There’s nothing stopping individual parents from hiring her to work with their kids.

I’m 38. I don’t feel like I’m ancient. I have vivid memories from my teen years but I have to really work hard to remember how my brain processed the world when I was a teenager. My daughter is only 10 but I can already see how she has this narcissism bordering on solipsism that effects her true understanding that the…

Child abduction.

If I recall correctly, "Where Have all the Children Gone?" is about child abduction.

I hardly see how remarking that I enjoy hearing someone speak my native language in a different accent is equivalent to indicating arousal at hearing someone make sounds unique to a language belonging to a group that had been (and continues to be) subjugated and discriminated against. There are other way to express…
