Kids these days... are organizing. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School reopened yesterday for the first time since the February 14 shooting in which 17 people died. Just for a half day, and no real academics yet, just a chance for students and teachers to spend some time and tears together. The last couple weeks -- yes, it's just been two weeks -- have been a time of incredibly raw, possibly culture-changing activism by the kids who lost teachers and friends, and that continued this week, as a group of students from nearby Pompano Beach
just like a walmart supercenter. big grocery dept, home and garden, electronics, clothing, etc. The guns are in sporting goods, the section next to toys.
Truth! It's taken me a long time to learn "the fight is never over." When I was young, I thought we were bringing about permanent change for good. Silly me. That idea can cause burnout. So it's important to realize from the get-go that you can't ever stop with your "keep on walking, keep on talking" because the destination IS the journey.
they are welcome to trample all over mine. I hate the damn thing. Discovered this one weird trick: if you don't water it , you don't have to mow it. (except in the spring when the damn rain makes it grow. GRRR!)

Yup. And this is exactly why. Homeschooled kids are far less likely to ask questions - especially ones that make the babby jeebus cry! - and simply may not even know what they don't know. Or more importantly, why they should.
This does not get stressed often enough if ya ask me, especially on matters of climate change. Old Bog or Ghod or whoever MADE the world JUST FOR US so it doesn't matter what we do to it because if we're good he'll whisk us all up to the sky before it gets unusable (and if we're bad, well, we should've been good so nyah nyah). And they actually consider that a moral position. SMDH.
I adore these kids, and not just because they remind me of myself at their age. I never had any of my own, and I'm grandmother age now. They are the future, and they give me some hope.

That guy is pretty old to be a Millenial.
as long as these kids stay off my lawn

And it's the children. Poor kids have to do everything themselves these days. ;)

Asking to live? Greedy little fuckers.

I'm binge-watching season 1 of Fargo, so I approve this message.

Which is why Repugs are so against public schools
And even that does no good if you don't have the Senate for the actual trial. Government? How does it work? Take a damn civics class!
I am ready to accept my teenage overlords, especially if they show me how to make TV with the Xbox.
