My genetics tell a very different story. I'm talking about what color am I. What color not race not as necessity not state of where I grew up I was born in New York by the way. What color.

Thank you so much for having a clue about the truth of the US attitude much less its corporate entities during the Holocaust. Most people don't even know that the US refused all the incoming ships. Most people have no idea which country welcomed them first.
How about we send the corporate Giants to fight Wars that black men and Hispanics and under classed underprivileged others fight for them.
This is a completely serious question because I don't know. This is my arm. The sheet is ivory, socks are black. What "color" am I? My family did not define by race or color. They sent me to an Orthodox Yeshiva to learn heritage. 5th grade I got to choose schools. I went public.

Thank you for your kindness and concern, Noor. It means so much to me. Take good care of yourself too! :)

The @USNavyCNO steps up Civil Society: "prohibit the Confederate battle flag from all public spaces and work areas aboard Navy installations, ships, aircraft and submarines."
Pride is soon upon us. A radical step forward ( Obergefell v. Hodges is USA law) go on! Fly it forward!

I read Steven King's "The Shining" when it came out in paperback in the course of two days without sleeping.
Memories flood back. When we met, you were a rare instance in my entire career of your sweet nature in person as opposed to your more aggressive approach to issues of that time. I believe my first question was "So WTF is the drama with you and Tantek!" I've forgotten the answer!
Maybe then as well, but I'm pretty darned confident it was 2005 because we'd just met and got into an interesting conversation. And it was that day.

Ha! Well, I remember us in the basement first and then folks went out, but I don't smoke cigs so you might have headed out first for that nicotine fix. But I believe the sort order was basement, air flow and then onward.

I have no idea, but it was a hot, humid day. I do remember that crowd as getting bigger at some point, but 15 years and being of a certain age has ravaged my memory!
I know why. You and I met for the first time and were downstairs in front of the air conditioning. London was hot that day! :)

YES! It all came back. I remember us walking from the conf to get a beer and we were talking about the terminology in #a11y landing on 'inclusive' as our agreed upon choice. I still prefer that term in general use.
