No the prisoners forced to farm the corn earn those from the overseers prison* guards.

*Edited. I hate this device.

The song prompted me to check out the movie. Hi soul family!

It’s a touching plot.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I can’t even believe I’m about to say this, but oh well: it would be the more merciful option to the whole planet, including himself. Yes, himself, because behind every bully, narcissist, sociopath, megalomaniac, is a miserable, bigot, supremacist, is a very miserable, frightened little inner child that relives the hell they have built to insulated them from the hell they experienced, and project on the world as punishment for allowing that to happen. That is irrespective of privilege, which the inner child may not have the ability to recognize. Until we, as a world collective do the hard, dirty, bitter work to address conditions that breed despair, irrespective of class, race, gender, or privilege to address that, the cycle will repeat itself. I don’t have all the answers, maybe not any. But it’s going to take healing ourselves individually, as family units, as communities, nations, and finally, global citizens. We are humans and we will have setbacks and failures. But I think it’s possible.

I point out we keep going right by compromising with the establishment party nominee and we need to vote third party but everyone in threads where I’ve done *this act like I’m Satan and say “THIS IS THE ELECTION WHERE THE DEMOCRAT VOTE IS MOST IMPORTANT! IT’S NOT THE TIME! A THIRD PARTY CAN’T WIN!” for nearly thirty years (I was a meeting who backed Clinton. I’m reformed).

Holy moly, this sounds hauntingly familiar.

I will, in between procrastination and cleaning! Thank you very much!

Thank you! I learned a good bit I didn’t know, like blood pooling so the brain gets oxygen while the head is rotated, but this from the embedded link was particularly interesting: “13.) Owls are zygodactyl, which means their feet have two forward-facing toes and two backward-facing toes. Unlike most other zygodactyl birds, however, owls can pivot one of their back toes forward to help them grip and walk.”

I’m kind of envious, but imagining shoe making would be difficult.

You’re telling me ancestor worship is eating…oh nevermind.
