Searching for Knowledge: The last thing people of color should be seeking
zuky:
is white recognition, because that’s an exercise in self-loathing. Why should any person of color elevate recognition from white people above recognition from our own? Doesn’t make sense at all when you think it through. In white supremacist society, a person of color seeking white…
This is a dream that MUST be fulfilled. I am excited to watch you dream chase lovely. The speech is great. I think it is empowering. It acknowledges the current condition and provides an applicable solution. 3,999,386 babies are born a year to mothers in various stages of life. Each mom and baby deserve the best chance to have the best life <3 Providing a program that addresses this need has so many potential benefits for families, places of employment, and society at large (in my humble opinion).
The only critique I have is that while there are many benefits to breastfeeding, I believe that breastfeeding is not possible for all moms due to various circumstances so in addition to providing information and support in mothers who do breastfeed, a safe space should be provided for women who cannot or choose not to breastfeed.
My follow-up question if I were hearing this would be: how do you plan to offer these services and what will the services be and for how long? Will the program be just for the mom, or will the whole family be included?

Star Map, for June 2013 (Northern Hemisphere)
badass-bharat-deafmuslimpunkstar:
dear friends, please see the PDF above and download if you want to stargaze in the sky at night.
Tonight, I looked south and watched Antares, known as the “anti-Mars star,” mera rabb, it was so beautiful. It shone and burned like a sapphire on fire. I also watched Vega glimmering like the Hope Diamond.
If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you can download this sky map for June 2013.

My generation got a cheap college education when we were young, and we’re getting good retirement benefits now that we’re old. Pretty nice. But now we’re turning around and telling today’s twentysomethings that they should pay through the nose for college, keep paying taxes for our retirements, and oh by the way, when it comes time for you to retire your benefits are going to have to be cut. So sorry. And all this despite the fact that the country is richer than it was 50 years ago, and will be richer still 50 years from now.
But at least today’s kids don’t have to worry about being drafted. That’s something, I suppose.

Excuse me, your generation are just doing this to 20 somethings are you? No. I was told I wouldn’t see social security while still in high school and everyone I graduated college with is still in debt up to their eyeballs. Nah. That pile of bull y’all are on has effected everyone under the age of 40. Thanks.
