This is my daughter, Alice Hale. This picture was taken while Alice belonged to Odyssey, an #LGBTQ+ support group for teenagers in Spokane, WA, while they were compiling members' photos & COMING OUT stories. Unfortunately, the project wasn't completed.

A professional photographer donated his time.

I fear America won't be here for our children & grandchildren either - or what will be left will be #TheFascistStatesOfAmerikkka as built by #SenileTraitorTrump. He's tearing down #OurWhiteHouse & ripping up #OurConstitution.

Follow, share & comments. #BuildTheResistance

All of America’s children have reason to fear there’ll not be an America left for them that’ll feed, house, protect, educate & give them the future EACH child deserves. At 10, I saw my 1st Broadway Purlie. To few children have this treasured opportunity. youtu.be/D7pLbCQ-uWY?...

This post proves one thing, he (the brother) was loved (is still loved) & that's important!

My daughter was a lesbian & she, too, was loved. I always try to make a point of saying that even though she died of #SUDEP - Sudden Unexpected Death in EPilepsy - 10 years ago, she is STILL loved. Always.
My brother didn’t choose to be gay
He didn’t choose to break his wife’s heart…It crushed him
He didn’t choose to go through the torment of explaining to everyone he knew, especially me, his younger brother
He didn’t choose to lose friends to ignorance
He chose to live his life

I don’t think there’s a wrong answer, but I have my preferred one. I think the parse tree for this sentence is ambiguous.

Friday grammar/ideology question, since it came up in another thread. Which so you feel/think is the right form?

- One in three children *doesn’t* speak English.
- One in three children *don’t* speak English.

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

I would see it as "don't" as "one in three children" isn't necessarily singular. You're still talking about an amount of people that isn't technically one.

If it was "one child" then "doesn't" makes sense as that is singular.

I just realized, we usually resist or fight a leak.
Oops, am I incontinent?
My car is leaking oil!
This bag of trash is leaking stuff everywhere!
But the Epstein Files are probably quite marked up, cut & pasted, highly manipulated, & yet, somewhere there must be an untainted (pardon) copy.

A bronze plaque marking the site of St. Louis’ largest slave prison will be installed next month on the Stadium East parking garage near Ballpark Village.

The plaque aims to educate the public and honor those held there.

The bronze historical plaque will be installed at the site of a slave prison once owned by Bernard M. Lynch, a nationally known trader of enslaved men, women and children.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

DESPERATE TRUMP is using every Goebbels/Hitler/NAZI disinformation/social radicalization tactic he's learned since becoming Russia's asset in the 1980's: Fear/hate-mongering, slander/accusations/conspiracies/big lies..with the ultimate goal to DESTROY USA with Putin; for their own profits and gain.

I would refuse to hug #SenileTraitorTrump in self defense. I fear that if I hugged him, I might get sucked into his fat & never able to release myself á la Tar Baby (original Tar Baby used to trap Br'er Rabbit & not meant as a racial slur though in this racist's case, perhaps a slur is appropriate).
Will someone please give this desperate fool a hug? He clearly must have been neglected or abused as a child. I'm willing to take one for the team if it means he'll get sime desperately needed therapy.

Interesting comment about my word usage. I appreciate people who make me think.
Just like that you used "videotaped" rather than 'filmed' or 'recorded' or what have you.

It speaks to a certain moment.

The only way to "ace a dementia test" is to prove you're the most demented to ever take it. That describes #SenileTraitorTrump! Demented!
