I don’t think people get what the aim is here by the Plutocrats. These people weren’t put in positions of power to maintain the status quo. They are there to tear it down. Anything that doesn’t benefit or line the pockets of the rich is being dismantled. Public schools?? Nope, let’s create privately run charter…

I read Nolan’s piece just seething. Thanks for putting it in words far better than I ever could. I can always count on you to kick some ass when it’s needed.

I live in super liberal New England. Don’t believe the hype. People here are just as racist. They just don’t make it obvious. Puritan circumspection and all that.

I had an unexplained (at the time) fascination with Martina as a girl. No one ever mentioned anything about it in my family or asked me about it. My Mom bought me her autobiography for Christmas one year. Looking back I had a HUGE crush on her. I’m sure my parents knew and were totally accepting about it, as they were…

Thank you! He is an abuser plain and simple. People in BDSM relationships are SO concerned with consent for the most part. Add to that so called “deviant” behavior is situational. Just because you like to be bitten during sex does not mean it’s acceptable while you do the dishes.( I will knock your ass out) He’s using…

The red one is matte Fire Agate and Lava. The other is Dragon’s Blood Jasper and Carnelian

I’m on two different allergy prescriptions now. This after having “grown out” of the serious childhood ones that I got shots for. I don’t get any break between the molds, grass, trees, and everything else. The drugs just minimize the symptoms enough I can function.. I never don’t feel some kind of effect and have a…

Alrighty then, thanks. I’ll go back to my book. :)

Call me a cynic. The protocol followed by police is created by the law enforcement community. I firmly believe police in this country acts as the de facto enforcement arm for white supremacy. Following “protocol” means nothing to me. If the rules aren’t leveled and enforced fairly, who gives a fuck if they’re…

If you believe no one, you must still believe Roxane Gay. Just sayin’...

Just because he said it’s sexual role playing does not make it true. It sounds much more like an abusive relationship given what I’ve read. Most sexual role play doesn’t lead to medical care. If it was RP, it’s his responsibility as a top to make sure his partner is safe. Nope, sounds like just another abusive asshole.

I find it generally less assholery (look...NOT a word!) to not correct people in the language they use to refer to themselves. If the author, who is a member of that community wants to use it, what’s it to you? People can self define as they wish. Plus, it think it’s a commonly used term.

Calling and making a complaint on the customer care number also generates a report to multiple managers so if one is covering for a problem employee it’s going to be obvious.

I have finally found some time to make some new stuff! The one on top us Bloodstone and the other is Smokey Quartz.

Social media for sure. Twitter. You do not need to know the employees name, they absolutely have cameras and can identify based on time you were there. Email Robert Niblock, he’s the CEO. Complaints to him normally go right to management. Call the Customer Care Number, those complaints go straight to a manager as…

Well, he’s got me there. I am old and I don’t understand.

lol ok. You’re right. I’m supposed to never ever have violent thoughts or impulses towards anger. All that magically melts away when you’’re Buddhist. Riggghhhttt. No, it just means I recognize my negative feelings when they occur and sit with them. It’s a continuum of practice and self work. Would I kick her ass, of…

Lose her job? I’d like to kick her ass, and I’m Buddhist.

Uh huh. Average

Wrong wrong wrong. I mean... c’mon,just look at him. Oh, can we please remove Pratt from the list? He’s meh at best.
