“I considered the northern white stance against slavery. How much of the desire to end the institution was fueled by a need to quell and subdue white guilt and pain? Was it just too much to watch? [. . .] I knew that whatever the cause of their war, freeing slaves was an incidental premise and would be an incidental result.” (286) #truth
5. A Chaucer reference! Nancy makes note that she learned to read Middle English, as she read Chaucer. I was amazed at this.
The other quirky element I wanted to mention was Salty, who I dearly wish we see again, and his clam song. I think I actually giggled when I read his lyrics. Something about a door-to-door clam salesman does make me wonder about product safety...
Were there any elements that surprised you or made you giggle? #NancyDrewBR

Sadly, this 34-count felon will get away with this, too. He's already
-evaded accountability for election interference and classified documents cases;
-exploited presidential immunity and expanded his executive power;
-gutted federal agencies and norms without repercussions;
-enriched himself and allies through unchecked corruption ... just to name a few.
This #cheetosatan is despicable. #ranttime

Interesting to note the definition of posterity: to preserve something for ALL future generations. ALL. Everyone. All of us. Not you vs. me. All. This is something this current administration clearly does NOT understand or care about. #ranttime
Don‘t mansplain to me —
I‘m a woman, can‘t you see?
I‘m smarter than thee. 😉

#WDNCW that we don‘t celebrate the 4th. We never really have…Autistic child that hates fireworks. Also I do not feel very festive. I do not want to celebrate our forefathers (that came from immigrant families) as we are a nation of immigrants & we are currently deporting immigrants. None of the signers of the Declaration of Independence are Indigenous. Plus that the oppression & exploitation of others was used to build this country. No thanks
