a community center, that can be an ideal third space.
a free-low cost place to congregate that is not oneās home or workplace. my library is a great third space for me, but iām old. skateparks are popular but require good weather & that you enjoy skateboarding. houses of worship can be 3rd places but obv thatās not for everyone. if your town has

very true. roman judea was a backwater. no one who wanted to be a roman someone hung out there. untilā¦
but unlike jco, not 128.
if i had to say yes or no, iād select yes. i know there were contemporary & later in the first century accounts of his human existence. but iām sure there are equally compelling arguments that he did not & was an amalgamation of several apocalyptic jewish preachers.
i did not know that! i guess iād always imagined it was whatever passed for banking in the first christian century.
now i have to watch the latin graffiti scene on youtube. brb.
you know the rest.
hitting a jewish or noahide person (probably a man) claiming to be a god or godlike. meanwhile, the non jewish population was ripe for spiritual awakening. they didnāt identify with judaism but the greek pantheon of gods didnāt stand up to even light scrutiny. jesus preached to them & like i said,
god being within all humans & a lot of fellow rabbis & students liked the idea. you know the rest. or you certainly should. did he say during his lifetime that he was the son of god? i donāt know, but i do know that roman judean society was in ferment. you couldnāt throw an olive pit without
the temple complex was just that: a complex. a community. hence the moneychangers. there were probably carpentry shops as well. during torah study & debate (did any part of the talmud exist yet? maybe the babylonian one?) which was probably vigorous (jesus developed the concept of the kingdom of
i read a post or a reply a few days ago-i think maybe on @erinbiba.bsky.social ās account-that has stayed on my mind. historical jesus may have been a carpenter by trade, but he was also a rabbi: a learned jewish man who probably spent all his spare time at the temple-or in its environ, as the
how about that. my daughterās been on a farro kick lately. we had it last week & again tonight with chicken, peppers, broccoli, onion, garlic stirfry. it was yummy & i have room for an eggplant parm slider from yesterdayās takeout. what did you have for dinner?

i was sick that day. i was late cuz it was snowing. my car broke down. my dog made me do it.

this? āAt his funeral, Allin's bloated corpse was dressed in his black leather jacket and trademark jockstrapā¦ā š¤®š¤®
neurotic?? IāM neurotic! heās psychotic.
i suspect his handlers wonāt allow that.
anti prohibition stances, āsocializedā medicine (this movement continued via public health clinics & regular medical screenings in public schools) through the 1970s.
leaderā status, you were pro eugenic policies. it was modern & perfectly suited to an educated population fascinated by the technological progress (flight! autos! widespread residential electrification!) & post ww1 societal changes. fwiw, many social policies we approve of (natural resource
in all fairness to those progressive era feminists, eugenics as positive social policy was everywhere in the worlds of science, education, public health, books, consumer magazines (of which there thousands of titles in print) & agricultural communities. if you had any claim to āeliteā or āthought
she took nasty bitch down!
maybe the couchfucker who doesnāt know his own damn name should be suspect number 1 when yamtitsā respiration ceases.
bet plaid shirt guy has a mouthful of yellow teeth.
i am also not a fan of sourdough bread & never in all my years have i been subjected to it against my will. my entire life has included dozens-if not hundreds-of types of breads in both retail & dining establishments. perhaps alex needs a life coach. or a smack upside his head.
* (contād.) store checkout clerks, etc. adapt to your personality & common local usage. youāll get anything from non committal āumm hmmā to high fives. suggest to your friends & family to do the same.

color block dirk!
i just showed someone a couple of memoir pieces that from a writing groupās anthology i was in 10 years ago & she said, āvery david sedaris vibe,ā and now i can die happy.
they donāt, no more than do magats.
#LifeHack
#BlackSky do black female entertainers view josephine baker as inspiration & icon as they do billie holiday? yes, i just watched a documentary which included considerable footage about her.
and a lot of them-both human & automated-roost right here, on bluesky.
i paid $3 to youtube to watch āwalter winchell-the power of gossip.ā while a biography, itās primarily about u.s. mass media throughout most of the 20th century-one of my favorite historical periods is america 1900-1950, ending about 10 years before my earthly debut-and i was absolutely immersed.
iām watching a documentary on walter winchell-he was jewish; i had no idea. he was anti-nazi & and american isolationist rally footage was shown. one sign read āwe want our fatherās over here not over there.ā āfatherās.ā 90 yo apostrophe catastrophe.
wellā¦the turtles probably find it big. itās part of a wetland system. itās probably about 4 feet deep. the cinder blocks will have to do some heavy lifting, so to speak.

what's the handsome fellow's/charming gal's name?
i'm thinking wall art--solder those puppies into interesting combinations & hang them in unexpected spots around your house. leftovers will make fine xmas & hostess gifts.
many magats absolutely believe this is the case with yamtits.
so i am rational! *pumps fist* daughter & i have verizon, husband has at&t. didn't one of them & tmobile merge?
i've got cinderblocks! and a turtle pond! LET'S DO THIS THING!
covie! i remember him from shitter! if any of you know him, ask him to please consider coming here.
not anything drone related? or ratboy rocket related?
you come to my house & bring me this dreck? (shit or garbage in yiddish).
not that i noticed, but the landscape isn't flat so i wouldn't notice unless i drove out to hunt it down. if a new cell tower were the case, wouldn't we also have cell service in the house? it's making me feel anxious...like the yamtits regime is improving survaillancej.
iirc, the sacrifices jews were expected to make at the temple in jerusalem had to be the good stuff. unblemished cattle. fat wheat sheaves, etc. i don't have a good feeling about offering yamtits at the altar of humanity.
we have little to no cell coverage in our little neck of the woods. as long as i can remember, our devices pinpointed us in a town about 15 miles south of where we actually are. since yesterday, google suddenly knows that i'm "near" the town i actually live in. how did this happen?
read the article. they blame brazil & praise trump. fuck them. fuck their soybeans.
whatās the āprivate residenceā sign all about? is there a business area around it?
same! texting is a challenge tho.
charles winchell rumpelstiltskin, i have had ENOUGH!! go to your basket & think about your behavior! (sudden silence, both cats lick a front paw & swipe it over an eyebrow.)
you were brave to even be there. iām afraid of the supermarket.
mom mom mom mom mom MOM!
same. iām from metro ny & heās been a pathetic joke for decades. and atlantic city is stuffed full of electricians, plumbers, builders & others who were stiffed by him. but no one listened & no one cares.
maybe iām being overly optimistic (very unusual for me), but i think once yamtits enters hell, maga will disintegrate. itās a cult of personality, not based on any cohesive concept. and iirc, magats hate vance.
i play mahjong online at ilovemahj.com. i also play in person, but only once a week. i play with 3 bots at 3 different levels of skill. they have dumb wordplay names, including my MORTAL ENEMIES, annie dajoka (i need a joker) & agatta dedhund (i got a dead hand). i hate those 2 bitches. #GamerLife
i was listening to āradio free europeā earlier & remembering first hearing it with my exhusband when rem opened for david bowie at shea stadium in 1983. how sad is that fucking sentence? my 1st marriage, shea stadium, david bowie, rem. all gone.
how are samberg & mackinnon? theyāre the only reason i was considering entering a movie theater for the first time in 2 years or whenever the wicked movie came out. i didnāt like the war of the roses. i donāt remember much other than the chandelier scene & it still gives me nightmares.
it's something leprechauns suffer from.
just like in the 1850s (utopian communities; turns out dudes just wanted to fuck as many women as possible), 1890s (anarchists ruined that chance), 19teens (ww1 cut that short), 1960s & 70s (reagan). i don't have that much faith in americans to make american style socialism happen.
i'm counting on my gp, ny state health dept & ama to keep me up to date on what advice to follow.
a nickel to anyone who can guess whom daddy bear is referring to.
threats to their or their families' physical safety?
then why is every photo & video i see of protests chockful of people in their 60s, 70s & older? also, large number of white gen xers voted for yamtits.
yes, heās probably neck & neck with joe sr for evil, but not as smart. when i told my sister how worried about her i was, she said, ācome on, barbara, you always said you wanted to be an only child.ā š„²
if this nightmare ever ends & a renamed presidential medal of honor is instituted, iām going to ask my congressman (pat ryan, ny18) to lobby for you.
i wish he were only useless. people are absolutely going to die because of him. i have 2 friends & a sister with chronic illnesses & shitty immune systems. i already lost my brother to covid & desperately hope my sister wonāt be next.
sons fucked-and probably raped-women while presenting themselves as the perfect catholic paterfamilii. and, of course, rosemaryā¦iāve read rational arguments that papa joe was molesting rosemary & he wanted her shut up & out of the way. jr is a chip off the rotten block.
(kathleen ākickā kennedy) was godās punishment for marrying a divorced protestant; saints jfk & rfk toured nazi german āeuthanasiaā facilities for the āunfitā & thought them quite nifty. rfkj is a dangerous idiot, but heās no exception to the awfulness of the kennedys. all the living
i donāt know about that; the kennedys were a fairly awful family. dad was a nazi & a crook who told churchill to surrender to hitler during the blitz; he evacuated his business interests in europe before evacuating americans in immediate path of war; ma kennedy stated her daughtersās death
i just turned it off. i remembered it being charming & amusing, but youāre right. itās cloying crap.
agoraphobia keeps me safe! š¬š
and this chick just canāt stop explaining. sheās like the energizer bunny, except the bunny makes sense.
but you are a doofus! btw, tell me more about those āopportunisticā rabbis, PLEASE. WHAT opportunities?
what state?
or maybe marc should stay on the outside & continue to sue evil people regardless of their political affiliation. (tho itās always magats, isnāt it?)
any gore or frightening stuff? or just a fun mystery?
while iāve known for a long time that my only child doesnāt want children, i went from a neutral āitās your life & your decisionā stance to āoh, thank god. i wonāt be a nervous mess every schoolday for the rest of my life.ā tho all the grandmoms of my acquaintance are happy as clams, soā¦
we all need more frogs. iāve seen lively discussions here about the world & society in 1880s to 1929. i also enjoy encountering a post about a silent film iāve heard of. you have nothing to explain or justify about content of yr posts. some fuckers need to get a fucking life. or a couple of frogs.
anyone here familiar with the mrs pollifax & miss fisher mystery series(es?)
didn't target stores & amazon warehouses reject a union a few years back? unions need to do education & outreach. maybe use early 20th century stories & news accounts.
she is so fucking clueless.
i don't mind mammos-they're over fast & i never found the squeezing more than an annoyance. blood draws make me nauseous. i can't watch the blood being drawn because i might puke. even looking away, i can still feel the blood being extracted. ick.
she needs nursing cat food & a spay as soon as kittens are weaned, her kittens need a soft clean setting & sheās not happy; sheās desperate.
iām at an age of annual health screenings of various sorts & without a doubt, bone density scan is the most pleasant. you keep yr clothes & shoes on, the table is comfortable, nothing is squeezed or manipulated & no one touches you. i give it 5 stars. my least favorite (ZERO stars) is a blood draw.
visibility vests over camo. š§
if anyone loved this twat theyād tell him to shut his mouth. he looks simple.
hang the bastards!
in my neck of the woods, scout troops & cycling clubs pick up trash. afaik, not a single one is armed.
please share this with your favorite magat!
then quit the fucking guard! and tell the world why! ffs, is everyone a cowardly sheep?
boy needs to read up on nuremburg trials. that defense does not fly.
if itās ai, i donāt wanna know!
