RantWoman is posting these items together. RantWoman promises to find more of a disabilty theme than the US is poisoning the world and spreading diabetes everywhere.
RantWoman is something of a Charlemagne fan even though she considers it slightly blasphemous (or Quakerly, RantWoman can't decide which) to proclaim oneself a god.
Readers not easy with the phrase "dismantling white supremacy" are invited to cope with "decrackerify.."
RantWoman humbly acknowledges that RantWoman's soul may have gotten stuck on this post exactly BECAUSE, like a number of other strands in RantWoman's life where the conversation is about race and , people with disabilities are nowhere to be found
Sam Bee on trash, diseases...
and Hasan Minaj on truly gross manifestations of US imperialism and why some things labelled "free trade" are gross and should make decent humans barf.
RantMom gave RantWoman a number to text to last week. There was no response. One could make up many stories about why.
And thanks I guess for tripping over the topic while talking about "Oh, OWW's" while trying to connect a mom with the right help for problems her now 14-year-old daughters have struggled with since at least age 5. RantWoman says "forgive yourself." Sometimes Ambassador Thwack attracts WAY worse "Oh OWWWW" stories on the bus.
For right now. just happy birthday and no arguments about diet and saving the planet...
RantWoman, think of foot washing. Just THINK of it. Thinking of it worked for me.
RantWoman and a merry band of mostly Quaker Bible scholars have been amblings through the gospels of Mark and John, but the "think of footwashing" advice came from a different direction.
Footwashing?
(Please note: RantWoman has decided to go image-free. Readers who need images are invited to use their imaginations.)
Will anyone even know what it refers to?
Let Dr. Internet 'splain: I give you NCPedia The practice does not occur only in the South
But I'm NOT Jesus. Besides what if they just think "yuck, gross, weird? Besides it's the 21st century and around here most of us have modern plumbinc."
So, what if I just get them all pedicures instead? Wait. Noxious chemicals. Economically precarious immigrant labor? Ummmm
We interrupt our ritual string of #NDEAM disability themed harangues to celebrate...
Can this be an answer to prayers????
It's not enough that the FORMER President and his minions are getting their own supporters KILLED by steeping us all in anti-vax madness. Now FORMER President Orange Foolius (Wait. How do you say that in Quakerese?) is telling people who have drunk his flavor of Koolaid NOT TO VOTE????
Readers who are really, really REALLY impatient to visit Ambassador Thwack's options for #WhiteCaneDay dance parties. just scroll down. Readers game for more visits to Planet RantWoman, please keep reading.
First, the newest QuakerSpeak video.
Understanding Quaker Faith Through the Journal of George Fox
Yeah, yeah, there are the parts about submission to a power greater than oneself, a really useful concept sometimes, and seeking and guidance. The thing RantWoman is most in awe of though: GLASSES GLARE. RantWoman deals all the time with photographers and videographers who want to wipe out the issue. Glasses are just as much a part of RantWoman's picture as Ambassador Thwack or as a wheelchair is for many people RantWoman knows.

This post is dedicated to every police abolitionist absolutist who reads this blog or is running for office in Seattle who might be willing to engage in, say , a strong women / strong Friends catfight with RantWoman about police accountability, resources, community living and pandemia.. #pandemic
--mention of low staffing levels, long response times, run around by both public and contracted dispatchers
--drug addled miscreant squatters with no respect for anything including themselves busy terrorizing.. some of whom are too terrified of retaliation even to call the cops..
It will not be only police who clean up the mess. Right now the watchwords are document, document, document
And hold in the Light
and miss me please with the "abolish the police" rhetoric.
Maybe when we come out the other side, a few of the druggie miscreants will be able to say "getting busted was the best thing to happen to me."
Interests: Digital Inclusion, Languages and language access, walkability, accessibility, disaster preparedness.
When in doubt, laugh about something!
