Alabama schools are so fucked. Many are keeping them inside during the eclipse, because liability. Despite some having school provided glasses. And this is at one of my nephew's whitey segregated schools (I'm glad they have access to the best schools in the area, I'm fucking sick of the moral calculus that is forced by white supremacy. And yes, my brother & I have talked about it. We agree he chose his kids and used his privilege over principles and that has its own reckoning.)
My nephews will be home, watching with glasses from Australian eclipse, because privilege.
Well, this was amusing. Letter-perfect train wreck. [link]

Gah, no, that's like that traumatic Ray Bradbury short story.
That's EXACTLY what I cited on my brother's post. And, um, a few other places. That story/film haunts me (turns out, my brother, too.)
All Summer in a Day.
I still don't forgive those kids and adults.
Ah man, I think one of my old high school friends has gone full alt-right. He reposted something that starts with 'Nazis are scumbags. However...' Yeah, the Neo-Nazis were the real victims, sure. Poor Nazis having their free speech suppressed by the violent left. If you have a Nazi and Klan rally (two great tastes that go great together) there's going to be a counter-protest. What the fuck is wrong with that? Nobody is going around arresting Nazis and KKK members for speaking out. I saw no indication that they were intimidated and shut down by the counter-protesters. There isn't any free-speech issue going on here. It's like it's so fucking important to smear liberals and the left with accusations of violence and anti-free speech that they can't bring themselves to just say Nazis and the Klan are bad, period. They have to fucking add, 'but the left is just as bad'. We cannot go down the road where a big group of people are seriously saying Nazis are bad, but... That is the fucking darkest road there is.
I love making people read the "Children Are Dicks" story! Because it is so fucking accurate.
So, what is the socially appropriate response when a second cousin calls you "sexy" on your FB wall?
I got to hold a bunny at 5:30 this morning.
Mom's room has sliding doors out to the deck. Mom's cat is indoor/outdoor. Lovey the cat has brings mice in. This morning it was a young rabbit. Maybe teenage bunny
I'm the official Deal-with-the-creatures-brought-in person so I wrangled the bunny outside as gently as I could. It didn't look injured it went outside in a sheltered area. Lovey the cat was kept inside.
I told mom she needs to keep a flashlight by the door and check him before she lets him in. Also if he ever brings in a snake I'm not dealing with it.
