Patton has been knocking it out of the park lately.
Yeah, my husband has friends and family who are Ojibwe and when he moved out here to South Dakota...he was fucking shocked by the way Native Americans are treated here. It’s a completely different world.
Aside from my family, I have never felt pride as a Dakotan - until this movement. The irony is the majority of people fighting for it, happen to be third class citizens in the Dakota’s. If you want to see pure, unfettered, institutionalized racism/segregation, spend some time in the Dakota’s. We put the south to…
This might be the best article Jez has ever had posted. So much strength here. I was reading a little bit about the movement on Facebook but couldn’t figure out what was happening due to all the fake news that Trump keeps floating out on the internet. Now I know what it’s about and couldn’t be more proud of all of the…
“My one son is buried on top of the hill,” she says evenly. “Nobody’s going to put a pipeline next to my son’s grave.”
I wasn’t sure that I would post it. She’s dying rn and I’m going to skip my class tomorrow so I can drive down to say goodbye. She will turn 88 on Dec 28th.
Yeah, I didn’t like her corny music either, but she had real talent, class and no scandals and sure as hell didn’t deserve to be killed by that goddamn thieving Yolanda bitch.
I get it but I also don’t.
Correction, she died at 23, just days before turning 24. I was 5 but I remember those breaking news like yesterday.
She was very close to her family. But it was well known in Corpus Christi her dad was not that supportive of her English pop music transition and resented her husband’s support of her. They have retained a tight control over image to protect it from exploitation. It’s so horrible they can’t agree how to present her…
My gran Fanda divorced her abusive husband in 1970, though that legal decree was years in the making. These books saved her innermost self afterwards. She told me that after almost 20 years of daily assaults, that she felt when she left him that her body was a thing god made specifically for punishment. She didn’t…
Kindly read the 4,000+ word history I just spent months writing explaining why that is a gross oversimplification before you comment.
Growing up, I remember my mother devouring every single Kathleen Woodiwiss, Danielle Steele, Debbie Macomber (even Sidney Sheldon) book as soon as they were released. We must have had hundreds of those paperbacks in our house. This was the same woman, btw, who went through our entire set of Encyclopedia Britannica…

We recently had a show on BBC Four HD called “All Aboard! The Country Bus”, which was *two* hours of gently panning cameras mounted on the top deck and roof of a bus as it travelled through the English countryside on a sunny afternoon, only breaking to a different view to swap to the lower deck camera to show…
