Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest active ranger, who helped shape the creation of a park honoring the millions of workers in World War II defense jobs, among them women like her who persevered while facing racial discrimination, died on Sunday at her home in Richmond, Calif. She was 104.
Her death was confirmed in a statement that her family posted on her social media account, and by her son, Robert Thomas Reid.
In 1942, when women joined the war effort by working in the defense industry and other related roles, as portrayed in “Rosie the Riveter” posters, Ms. Soskin sought to do her part in the Bay Area by seeking work at the boilermakers’ union, which supplied much of the shipbuilding work force in the port of Richmond, across the bay from San Francisco. But the union, which was segregated, relegated her and the other Black women in its ranks to its auxiliary wing.
And so, for the rest of the war, Ms. Soskin sorted index cards at the union hall in the city, miles from the bustling yards that sent warships to the Pacific, a task that left her feeling humiliated. “I never had a sense of being anyone other than pushing papers,” she told The San Francisco Chronicle in 2007. “I wasn’t even always sure who the enemy was.”
But she was able to draw on her World War II experiences in later years. In 2000, while working as an aide to Dion Aroner, a California assemblywoman, she landed a seat at the table in planning for the launch of the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond.
Ms. Soskin was made a consultant to the park in 2003 and signed on as a ranger there in 2007, when she was 85.
She took visitors on narrated bus trips and shared the history of the park’s many sites, and was remembered especially for the talks she gave at the park’s theater, where she recounted the lives of people of color who faced racial discrimination at home during the war...
Even off duty, Ms. Soskin was devoted to wearing her ranger uniform.
“When I’m on the streets or on an escalator or elevator, I am making every little girl of color aware of a career choice she may not have known she had,” Ms. Soskin said in a 2015 interview with the Department of the Interior. “The pride is evident in their eyes.”

Gee, the press. So weird that they have to navigate the waters of fucking rabid racism in their party to get nominated. Almost as if these are racist fucking people? Maybe you can stop with the economic anxiety shit?

Well, I dug in earlier this evening/yesterday, depending upon how you tell time, or both, to do a deep clean, and my new vacuum battery died. So I plugged it in and it needed a four hour charge, oh my goodness, so I went up to what used to be the study, but has somehow by default become the spare cat room, where I store spare cats. And I kept myself busy inventorying, and re-organizing some books I had up there. And now I am downstairs, and I do not think it’s a good time to start a big cleaning project down here. So I am reluctantly headed bedward, which, in the best of time seems to take about an hour, because I am easily distracted.
ETA: it is amazing what you can find under the couch cushions. I decided vacuuming the couch was a small, quick project that would make me feel like I had accomplished something. And also, when the little voice in my head said, hey, we could reupholster this! I had the wit to shut that down. And also to recognize that it might be diagnostic.
Well, where on earth did my weekend go? Usually I'm ready for the week to begin, but not today. I need one more day (at least) of vacation.
I did not get the kitchen wall painted as my.painting clothes are in the wash, but I did make two very long and satisfying trips to the dog park yesterday. My morning trip was especially nice and no complaints about the afternoon trip either. And that was basically my weekend. No complaints or whines except that it's over.
Short work week. I'm off starting Wednesday at noon and going back the Friday after New Year's Day. In that time I should get the kitchen wall painted plus both bathrooms. Plus make 100 meals for the unhouse--50 The Holiday's eve and another 50 new year's eve. However, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous this week, so I might just spend the whole time drinking coffee at the dog park.
I'll also be wrapping up issue two of Catzeine, so plan to see posts about that in the coming weeks!

Not to mention the magnets stop working when they get wet.

Like the country club republicans: "We have Black/Latino/Asian friends" in public then all the racist jokes in private.
I had once tell me that he told his black friend the same joke and HE thought it was funny so what was my problem.
I called him a liar to his face and went with you don't have any friends, which got a big laugh from those around us.
He got surly so that is when I laid can't you take a joke right back on him.
