@RickiTarr I think some women are taught to be 'helpless' and a lot are not. I am not one, and I'm a boomer. Any woman who always depends on the kindness of strangers is a fool. Acting helpless is a psychological play by the emotional neediness of the person asking.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
And yes, it is sexism and it is learned behavior. People should stop playing this kind of game. It benefits no one.

I guess he just wants to die in his seat rather than admit he's too old for it.
he is too old for the Senate, and so are about 40 others.

Mary Hilton for Harris (fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Friday, 09-Feb-2024 08:09:17 JST Mary Hilton for Harris @joeo10 I have that book, but don't dare read it because it'll probably make me throw up. It CAN and HAS happened here-it was supposedly an allegory based on Huey Long during the 30's but it damn well is serving duty right now for damn Trump.

Mary Hilton for Harris (fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Tuesday, 05-Dec-2023 02:27:16 JST Mary Hilton for Harris The entire new issue of The Atlantic is full of what writers are theorizing what would happen in a second Trump term.
We can't afford to do this again:
https://www.theatlantic.com/
"The country survived the first Trump term, though not without sustaining serious damage. A second term, if there is one, will be much worse."
It is very important that we understand the danger this country is in, and act accordingly. -

Mary Hilton for Harris (fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Wednesday, 29-Nov-2023 05:53:16 JST Mary Hilton for Harris @joeo10 it's why you always have a backup account for email.
Google email is actually the back up for me, so if I lose it, it won't affect me too much.
It was part of my phone account when I switched to Android.
Redundancy is a good thing sometimes, especially with computers. -

It's possible.

I have done both. Of course now they don't do either, (and one is illegal) but it was fun while it lasted.

For me, nothing is that important unless it happens to be beads or books. Those will get me spending but even thing, not much. -

They might have made a public announcement, in case they're doing some down time stuff. Not good. Thanks for the heads up. -

Mary Hilton for Harris (fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org)'s status on Saturday, 21-Oct-2023 04:32:00 JST Mary Hilton for Harris @riversidebryan I would rather have a 'agree with this post" kind of 'favorite' button instead. That makes it clearer that not only do I like the post, but also the premise behind it. "Disagree" is not a recommended button because trolls would sink the post. But for right now, "favorite' is the same idea of "I love this! I agree with this!"

Net Neutrality is but one problem-and at least they're trying to revive it. The telecoms don't like it of of course because it makes them obey the rules.

So many media are that way. I only have NYT and WAPO as subscriptions, so if you need anything, let me know. (article limit is 10 per month).
