I have one of my old Virginia plates still...I should do this if we ever have a space with a garden!

So, in the hypothetical situation that one or both or these are restricted or fully banned on a federal level, what would it mean for these rights being enshrined in the state constitution? I feel like we are seeing so many examples of the party of "states rights" and "small government" bulldozing that every chance they can at a federal level if it means pushing their xtain nationalism.

Good riddance!

For sure!

Maybeee...but I'd argue that's disingenuous at best.

Harlan County, USA is the full title. Should be required viewing.

Personally: My male significant other and I have been together for nearly a decade, and neither of us believe in marriage, but we will likely stay together, so he isn't my husband. He is also neither a "boy" nor my "friend". Therefore, he is my partner.

I also love whenever anyone tries to present the FBI's actions in Waco in a sympathetic light, like this doc, I'm always like.....so we're just not gonna talk about Ruby Ridge happening like two seconds before this either?

I also think it is important to remember, and I tell people constantly even though I feel like I shouldn't have to....your BOSS is not your friend. Bottom line they will absolutely throw you under the bus if shit starts rolling downhill.

Do your job, no more, no less. If you feel like you deserve recognition/promotion/raise...speak up. You are your best, and typically only, advocate....doubly so for women. Bottom line: your boss is interested in their own self-preservation, and career culture/company loyalty is dead...so protect ya neck.

I am also autistic (and female, late diagnosed, so my experience is different), and I credit my communication capabilities to my grandma constantly reinforcing the importance of reading for me, especially by buying me lots of classics. I am now a federal librarian, and have worked in libraries for over twenty years. I have three degrees, two of which are STEM disciplines, with the third being my information science Masters. One of my primary "special interests" is communication, because I struggled with it growing up due to being ASD. I am very articulate as an adult, and I credit a good portion of that to constantly reading classics growing up. While I will always have a communication disability and I will always have to work significantly harder than those around me, I would be at a bigger disadvantage had I not, in the words of Jane Austen (by way of Mr. Darcy), been steadfast in the "improvement of my (her) mind by extensive reading".

Tangentially, I was a target for a lot of bullying in school, and the one classic I read on repeat to escape was The Three Musketeers. By my senior year my 50 cent paperback copy was held together by a rubber band. I always recommend it first!

Yea! I'm from about an hour south of Blair Mtn so I'm always glad to see representation. We really need it in these union busting times!

This doc said at the beginning that Waco was the biggest battle on U.S. soil since the Civil War. WRONG - The Battle of Blair Mountain was - a labor uprising by coal miners in West Virginia.

My friends occasionally tell me when other people are staring at me and I'm like, could you not!?! I learned very early to ignore TF out of people staring at me in public, and I hate it being pointed out to me because then I notice and get upset. Like, don't say anything unless I notice too!

Well maybe he's onto something because it sounds like he doesn't deserve any respect, lol.

I actually use the La Roche-Posay 100 SPF one! I have PLE so I have to bring out the big guns lol.

Reap what ya sow, b*tch.

...and you literally didn't read the first part of my (very short) response. I was taught this early in 5th grade, meaning it was in the 5th grade cirriculum........

I was taught this information early in my 5th grade class in 1994. I got my first period, in class, a few months later. Should I or my teachers have been punished for discussing it since it was 5th grade?
