3.75 mile walk today. My longest was two days ago, 4.12 miles. On that walk, saw a gopher tortoise, a box turtle, and two stray cats. Today I saw dolphins in the river and a bald eagle flew by. So much better than a gym!

But we're not just finding out, bc its professors have been saying ALL ALONG that CRT is a very specific graduate-level, law-related lens. Not K-12. Not even collegiate. These scholars have been ignored while white ppl who don't even know what grad-level means followed their Big Brother's orders.
Ronald Alexander @djchefronIgnorant people set their heads on fire about CRT taught to their little Johnny and Sally in pre-school only now we are finding out it is barely taught in college.06:51 AM - May 16, 2024

Everyone is talking about Clarence Thomas’ blatant corruption. Let’s not forget we *still* don’t know who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees, $200,000 credit card debt, and $1.2 million mortgage.

Hey, fellow white people! Read this excellent thread. Realize Licia is talking about *us* here. Not the MAGAts, not "the bigots" - US.
Licia @LiciaYesterday, while in route to Granny's house, I read a post about a guy whose wife was treating him the way men have treated their wives for centuries. Towards the end he mentioned someone accusing Spoutible of being white centered (the accuracy of it all) and how white people were toxic.09:50 PM - May 05, 2024

The 1st thing Reagan did was declare war on the unions. Wall street descended on Washington and never looked back. Reeling from the stagflation of the late 70's, nobody seemed to notice.

The wealthy elites demanding that everyone work until 70, so that they don’t have to pay FICA tax on all of their income like the rest of us, are the same wealthy elites who have no intention of hiring anyone over 50. #SocialSecurity

If big chains are going to keep gouging consumers then i say, screw them & shop at small businesses again. Odds are they have better deals! Go to your local butcher or produce hut. Buy as much as you can at the smaller mom&pop places. Cut back on things you can’t get there & make the big guys pay
Honey and pepper and roses en déshabillé @DianeLMajorI hate to say this, but do not count on grocery prices to ever "go back to normal". Some of the more inflated items may come back down (some), but don't expect that the day is coming when food prices are going to shrink across the board.08:10 AM - May 06, 2024

Wikipedia link broke, but check here for more background, including a quote from Nichelle Nichols about shooting the scene:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_and_Uhura%27s_kiss
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_and_Uhura%27s_kiss
Dave Plus Coffee (he/him) @davepluscoffee"NBC ordered two versions of the scene be shot—one in which Kirk and Uhura kissed and one in which they did not. Having filmed the former version of the scene, Shatner and Nichols deliberately flubbed every take of the latter version, forcing the episode to go out with the kiss intact."09:52 AM - May 01, 2024
