Bill Bennett is an asshole: “You could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.” Freedom Rider sums up my feelings pretty well: Thank you Bill Bennett. Thank you for confirming what I already knew. I knew that you, like moralizers everywhere, are a freak. I knew that you [...]
Hey everyone! in case you didn’t know I’m helping to organize MamaGathering 2006. Please send me a pic of you and your baby/child or even a pregnant and/or breastfeeding pic of you for the Mama Gathering 2006 logo! Here are a few examples of what I have so far:More: http://mspmedia.net/mamagathering The photo rotates every few [...]
This is how I looked when I was a wee one: Age 3, no comment. tee hee! Age 4, my mom loves this pic of me because I was up at like 3 in the morning singing my head off. I have never slept well, even as a kid, and often spent my nights driving [...]
OMG, I nearly lost it! Big sigh of relief. Ok, here’s what happened. 2:43 I make Scott’s standard afternoon snack – a peanut butter and jam sandwich, an apple, and a small bag of fritos. 2:45 I open the back door, expecting to see him as he rides in and parks his bike in the [...]
Look at my porch!! I just took these pics a few minutes ago: Generally they pick up before bed but yesterday and today they just blew it off and I let them. Oh well, they can pick it up right quick after school tomorrow. We give away and throw away toys often (my boys are [...]
I was paranoid before the hurricane about a whole lotta stuff, now I am ultra-paranoid and feel we have to be prepared for what comes next. ‘Cause I feel another big tragedy is coming real soon for black Americans, either man-made or manipulated after another natural disaster. But, we should have been better prepared to [...]
I took my sons with me for a walk the other day. They are 10 and 7. Scott, the oldest, is in the 5th grade. Todd is in the second grade. They brought a football with them and tossed it back and forth as we walked, Todd running far ahead to catch it after Scott [...]
Go to google.com and type in the word ‘failure’ and then click/select ‘I’m feeling Lucky’. Enjoy!
NEW ORLEANIANS CALL FOR ACTION Displaced New Orleans Community Demands Action, Accountability and Initiates A People’s Hurricane Fund Not until the fifth day of the federal government’s inept and inadequate emergency response to the New Orleans’ disaster did George Bush even acknowledge it was ‘unacceptable.’ ‘Unacceptable’ doesn’t begin to describe the depth of the neglect, [...]
Here are some links a friend sent me to efforts by progressive people to mobilize support & rebuilding for survivors: The Sparkplug Foundation has a great list of funding and volunteering options with organizations that doing grassroots relief work that focuses on people of color and poor people, especially groups that are run by, or [...]
I am so sick at heart over how horribly the victims of the hurricane were treated. This truly has me stunned. It makes no sense, no sense at all! Victims of the tsunami last year had US aid within 2 days!! but American citizens had to wait 5 WHOLE DAYS for the feds to step [...]
Michael Moore that is. This is RIGHT ON. Friday, September 2nd, 2005 Dear Mr. Bush: Any idea where all our helicopters are? It’s Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help [...]
