Yep! George knew. He'd tell you too. I sure do miss him.

I remember back in 2009 when I was a newbie and I lived at New Citizens Inc, the place was greifed by a rain of Swastikas more than once. The people in charge handled it, I was just a newb and I don't know how they did it but they shut it down.

The media is owned by the 1%. I'm not surprised at all. Outraged, yes. Surprised? no.

Every ethnic group that has migrated to the USA has been Jeered and Feared by the ones who came before. It's the way the elite have always kept the proletariat down by keeping them bickering amongst themselves. The *fill in the ehtnic group* are stealing your jobs, corrupting your youth, spreading disease, you name it.... just keep hating your neighbor so you don't figure out who the real enemy is.

saw this on my FB feed

If they had named it zippity, yeah, I'd agree, but what came to mind to me, when I heard doo-dah was "Bet my money on a bobtail nag, doo-dah, doo-dah, Bet my money on a bobtail nag, somebody bet on the bay." Now mind you, i don't disagree that song of the south was horribly racist as were the crows in Dumbo the Elephant. And I don't dis-agree with your theory about the little things. But I don't see the racism in Doodah. Admittedly, I could be less aware than you. I'm trying to be more aware. I guess we just don't know what was in the mind of the person who thought up Doodah. Could be racist, could be harmless. ymmv ETA: If the name Doodah offends, then, really, I have no stake in keeping it.

pictures I see that are worth repeating....

yours and my brother's too. A very good day ti begin the next phase of my life!

so happy for you Seicher/Gigi! That's just wonderful news.

copied from my FB timeline: Came across this today: Albert Einstein Read this slowly and let it sink in. Look at the faces of these beautiful engaged students. And consider this brilliant conscious voice, world renown physicist in this powerful (1946!!) photo -- that WAS NOT heard or seen in 1946: In September 1946, Albert Einstein called racism America’s “worst disease.” Earlier that year, he told students and faculty at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, the oldest Black college in the Western world, that racial segregation was “not a disease of colored people, but a disease of white people, adding, “I willl not remain silent about it.” When Albert Einstein moved to America, he was disappointed to see how black people were being treated. Even in his new hometown of Princeton, he observed separation of the white and black societies. Einstein thought of segregation as “unacceptable.” "There are prejudices of which I as a Jew am clearly conscious, but they are unimportant in comparison with the attitude of the ‘whites’ toward their fellow-citizens of darker complexion. The more I feel an American, the more this situation pains me. I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out. Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force and in the white man’s quest for wealth and an easy life they have been ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery” Albert Einstein, very rarely accepted honorary doctorates but he did so for Lincoln University, a small historically black college in Pennsylvania in 1946. He also gave a lecture before a small group of students who are seen with him in the picture. After 70 years, photo of Einstein's visit to Lincoln surfaced when a woman appeared in "Antiques Roadshow." Her husband, who was a photographer, was present in that classroom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein

Big news! I am officially retiring as of July 2, 2020. and moving to the east coast of the USA right after.

saw an episode of Imaginary bitches in 2009, and in it the main character(who had imaginary friends who were bitches) was on a blind date with a guy from 2nd life. Her real life friends thought they might have something in common. I was intrigued....

For me it depends on the scenario. In the forums, I like standard punctuation, it's the easiest to read and there is time to do it right. In chat I still try for standard but will sometimes windup up with the first two letters of a name capitalized due to my lazy fingers. and I often leave off periods and capitalizing the first letter of the first word in a sentence. All caps is shouting, who wants to see that all the time? I don't bother to fix typos in chat unless the meaning gets lost

I can't say I object to humans, after all they are my species and all. But I also enjoy being other. Between me and my alts I've tried being just about everything except being a car. For some odd reason being a car never appealed to me. The ones I particularly enjoyed were the various faes, pixies, a satyr, dinkie, and mermaid and cat

chilling in one of my favorite rooms

Classic example of White Privelege: Being tired of having to be concerned about BLM. I don't think that Black people have that luxury.

no sweating! it's way too hot today!

I get really bizarre dreams if I forget to take my antidepressant meds. It seems that the meds suppress dreaming and if I miss a dose my brain slips into hyperdrive.

it's what makes the kinder moments so heartbreakingly beautiful.

Ah. I wasn't sure, thanks. Words are such an imperfect way of communicating, it's no wonder the world is such a mess.

He didn't say it, someone put it in the comments, so more about him - i did a search on the phrase, found it in a couple of quotes sites, attributed to anonymous, so maybe anonymous met you.

was listening to Damien Rice on utube and saw this in the comments and it resonated. The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.
