Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

OK this actually clears up a lot for me. Also reminds me of what our standard poodles look like when they stand up on 2 legs. We call them “person in a poodle suit”…

Whenever it comes across your timeline, it must be shared. I don’t make the rules. This is the way. (Also appropriate for the weather in Halifax today)

If you want to know how to say #elbowsup in #Gaelic, here it is: Uilleannan suas! I've just reprinted this sticker and all the others in the original thread are still available too! (Translations are in alt text on the thread.)

My ancestors crossed the Atlantic three centuries ago and I am an American in the exact same way as the infant child of undocumented immigrants born here yesterday. There is no difference between us, their right to this country no less than mine. We are entirely equal and I will accept nothing else.

About 20 years ago I paid USD $40,000 for 4 years of daycare & preschool. I was a professor & it was ~17% of my gross salary. No grandparent support; nobody’s fault, life happened. I literally couldn’t afford to have a 2nd kid.
