QUESTION ABOUT
are all the malfunctioning airplanes only used for domestic flights? were all the malfunctioning planes deployed only for use inside of USA?

was wondering if, since other countries have their own plane inspection programs, why would other countries not catch any of the problems with those planes? and i reckoned that maybe it's because Boeing was selling those faulty planes to USA airlines only for domestic flights; by-passing inspections from other countries.

@voxofgod @blogdiva Yep. Exactly this.

"MRSA parts are prominently emblazoned with red marks denoting them as defective and unsafe. For a plane to escape Boeing's production line and find its way to a civilian airport near you with these defective parts installed, many people will have to see and ignore this literal red flag.

The MRSA cage was a special concern of John "Swampy" Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower who is alleged to have killed himself in March."

The U.S. fascists will follow the Russian fascists and outlaw being gay if they get power. Is this not clear?

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

@RickiTarr We like to joke that we got married after courting for 35 years, but a friendship had to be built and tested. At the end of the day, it was the only one to survive the test of time.

Interracial relationships have consequences, but there aren't any regrets. We know longer invest in pretendships.

The enduring love and respect we have for each other makes all the nonsense melt away, and keeps it away. That's a gift.

1st dragonboat races, happening on May 26. I have to be on location all day, as when I'm not paddling in race, will be doing drum/beat calling for races I don't paddle in. I'm also doing several other volunteer duties on our first race day so would love to create a big playlist for the whole day!

Please drop some high energy songs to this open for for active water sports thread!

Added to race day playlist today:

@msquebanh Always glad to share. One of the best live bands of the era in my opinion, but not grunge, so we know how that went. Really terrific and warm people in conversation too.

Today is election day in Paterson, New Jersey. One of the most diverse, impoverished, and undervalued cities in the country. Bless everyone who casts a ballot today.

By the way, if it isn't racist to project this election as being the sole responsibility of Black folk, then it certainly isn't misogynist to observe that a majority of white women voted for a white rapist twice.

Looking at reciepts is something to do before preemptively blaming the people who suffer the most when fascists are elected, and not the people who voted against their own interests because reasons.

Okay, since I'm on laundry today, a little story.

When hubs and I first got married, we were very much enjoying our little Honeymoon Bubble, and we were being lazy as Hell. We didn't do many chores, but the laundry we really let go. We weren't wearing many clothes at home anyway, so why bother. Anyhow, after weeks we finally reached the swimming suit bottoms situation, and decided it was time. It was loads and loads of laundry that needed done, so I had my husband back the trunk of the car up to a window of the house, then he popped the trunk, and I started tossing laundry out of the window into the trunk. We went to the bank, got about $30 bucks in quarters, and found the emptiest laundry mat we could, and did it all in one fell swoop. We folded it all and loaded it back into the car using those wheeled laundry carts. We never let it get that bad again, and decided it was time to be adults, and do regular chores, but it still makes me laugh imagining what the neighbors and the laundry attendant thought.

Feel free to share your own laundry story, if you feel like it, I love hearing people's stories!

If you wash and dry a load of laundry, you also have to be prepared to fold it, and put it away. It's not really helping otherwise.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

@Thebratdragon @TessRants @Nfoonf @RickiTarr @neingeist All music is rooted in Africa to some degree.

For example, most of Europe learned about the bagpipe after the Romans took the ciaramèddha north from Sicily and Calabria. The Scots made it colorful and stylish, but they didn't come up with it. Where did the bagpipes come from before reaching southern Europe? Egypt.
