exactly. the medical profession should be having daily hearings about this. while word is getting out about the very serious problem, it remains to be seen what will be done about it.

I am white, and was raised in small mostly white communities when I was young, but moved to a larger city as a young teenager. Like a lot of white kids, I didn't understand how much of a thing casual everyday racism was, until I met my future best friend Cameron. I'd never been pulled over by the cops before, and now suddenly I was getting pulled over frequently, for no reason at all, the only difference was now there was a black man in the car. I remember the first time getting pulled over, and the cop asking for all of our ID's with no explanation at all, Cam saw me about to mouth off, and the look of terror on his face made me shut up immediately. Later, he told me when it happened again to just comply, don't ask questions, don't get angry. I had never had to view cops with fear before, in my mind, you only needed to be afraid if you were a criminal, but Cam was afraid, just for existing as black. If people try to tell you that black people are dramatizing their struggle, they are lying!

I talk a lot about this mysterious mineral, Labradorite, in my new book. The folklore as well as my cutting adventures...

1) If someone is on fire, punch them in the face.

2) Cop a feel off the person behind you, as these might be your last minutes on Earth.

3) Squeeze the junk of the person in front of you. It'll slow them down, allowing you to move ahead of them.

4) Exit.

What happened to these growers was wrong. Doing something to make amends is right.

America 2023 - "Medical professionals attribute the increasing cases of disease to inadequate prenatal healthcare and understaffed workforce.."

the decline of this nation, and the impact it has on the most vulnerable among us, is truly distressing and disgusting.

Can’t believe this has to be said but accirding to a U.S. defense official, there’s no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent balloon or unidentified flying objects take downs.

Congratulations, you are a Nazi.

If you're a news outlet who doesn't mention the possibility of transphobia as a reason an out trans girl was killed (or even that she was trans), but does mention trans status any time a trans person commits a crime, you are creating an enemy the public can't sympathize with, but only can see as a risk to themsleves.

I am so tired.
