take back the night. help me educate a few youngens about this.

including the domestic violence/community outreach person at the chicago police department.

i dont know about elsewhere, but they staged an alleged tbtn march here. i didnt go, but reliable witnessed confirmed my suspicions.
a little parade of middle class white people, afraid of getting their bikes stolen or their car windows smashed, waltzing through the area where there is a lot of "street crime", and they DIDNT EVEN DO IT AT NIGHT.
it was all over, dispersed, and my witness was on my porch with nearly an hour of light left.

i already got my rant for this policewoman.

i am between 2 big college campuses, with active womens groups. i fear they are about to get a demonstration of how to do it.


but please-

speak

wouldnt a du cruise me cool?

i miss the good old days of meetups.

i think is would be cool to have any kind of meetup.
but a cruise? like air america did. (damn, still cant believe i didnt grab the chance to cruise with rachel maddow and marc marron. )

wouldnit be fun??

how obama could score a win from va scandal.

if shinseki stages a nice, long perp walk of bush leave behinds.
some scammers would be nice, too.

the trouble with not rising to the bait

is by the time that bait gets shoved in your face, you are ravenous.

or at least i am.
applying on many levels today.

u?

how about some new language for a new age?

mental illness, mental defect, personality disorder, traumatic brain injury, developmental disability, yada yada yada.

how's this- broken brain?
brain rash, missing a part, whatever. shrinks, neurologists and others seem like they are all working with the same organ, but are just clueless about each other.

just me, maybe, but fuck freud. i mean, great leap and all, but you were surpassed almost as you were published, and have nothing unique to offer any more.
besides, i have a big ass thing about demonizing moms. fuck that sexist crap.

onward, to stem cells and beyond.
and the end of waste of human potential.

is there a greater privilege

than a long chat with a young person about their plans for the future?

so i noticed another thread about the donation levels

maybe it's time for a du cruise.
i'm in. just make it a winter cruise to somewhere warm.

whatcha think? worked for air america.

one last mom thread- for all the moms whose kids are jerks.

yesterday was my first post-split mothers day.
my 5 kids are all grown, and should know better. but it was a long slog of 2 f'ed up people that raised this bunch, and there are some big scars.

i wont go too far except to say that the ex still manipulates his little girls, so one was a complete no show, and the other decided it was a good time for me to go dig up shit that daddy left behind.
and the boys were, well, the boys.

so, yeah, reading all those mom threads blew chunks for me

you?
