Speaking Out

For those who have told me that none of this is my business because I’m not black, and to just stay out of it, I want to remind you of something. This could just as easily be translated to say… First they came for gay peopleBut I did not speak out because I was notContinue reading “Speaking Out”

Repost of TMI Tuesday: June 30, 2020: Robots and Love

1. Should we be worried about sex robots?https://www.sciencefocus.com/future-technology/should-we-be-worried-about-sex-robots-kate-devlin/ I have been fascinated about robots for years. I even use to run a yahoo email group about robots. I’m not worried about them as sex partners at all. I feel for a lot of people it will be a needed tool to keep them sexually active.Continue reading “Repost of TMI Tuesday: June 30, 2020: Robots and Love”

Something That Worries Me: Divided We Fall

I am a big fan of two things in life… learning and sharing. Education can come in many different forms… from formal education in a classroom to reading a variety of books from a library. It’s asking questions and listening and asking more questions. It’s looking for new viewpoints. The other; sharing… volunteering to helpContinue reading “Something That Worries Me: Divided We Fall”

Prompt: Sleeping with the Musician

Using the prompt Sleeping with Musician; “I’m pretty sure we have all had a crush on at least one musician in our lifetime. I can think of a handful that I wouldn’t kick out of bed right now..haha. This reminds me of those folded-up posters in the teen magazines that you could tear out andContinue reading “Prompt: Sleeping with the Musician”

Wings of Light

The book I wrote and published is based on this idea. It’s called Wings of Light and it’s based on some events that happened in my daughter’s life, including one day when she was about 2 and we were out for a walk. She stopped and crouched down to see a caterpillar. She looked upContinue reading “Wings of Light”

TMI Tuesday – October 4, 2022: I Need, I Want, I Can, I Can’t

1. What do you need most right now, a friend or a lover? Why? Both, and they don’t need to be the same person, but it’s fine if it is. 2. What song do you not know the lyrics of but you like to sing anyway? Oh, so many to choose from. I often upContinue reading “TMI Tuesday – October 4, 2022: I Need, I Want, I Can, I Can’t”

Halloween: More Than Just a Day

When I was a kid in the ’50s, Halloween wasn’t just a day; it was an event. First, there was a costume parade at school along with a party in our classroom, and then a school carnival (at least at my elementary school), and then coming home and waiting until it finally got dark andContinue reading “Halloween: More Than Just a Day”

Fat-shaming

A friend of mine, who is usually so caring and open-minded, but hates Donald Trump, posted a picture of a very fat woman wearing a “Trump 2020” bikini in a comment on my Facebook page. I was hurt, angry, and frustrated. We are in the middle of BLM and Gay Pride Month, but fat-shaming isContinue reading “Fat-shaming”

Questions from Quora: Sterilize

How come people who don’t want children don’t get sterilized? Yes it’s their bodies and it’s up to them but why run the risk of getting pregnant if you “don’t want children”. I wonder if they’d feel the same if they couldn’t have children at all. That’s a great theory until you examine the facts.Continue reading “Questions from Quora: Sterilize”

“Obesity Crisis”?????

Repost from July 8, 2008, with a few revisions and additions. I hate the word obesity, to begin with, but who in their infinite wisdom has decided that fat people are in a crisis? Is it because they feel this is one group they can use guilt and fear as a means to control? AfterContinue reading ““Obesity Crisis”?????”
