Ha I got some message from that same account name weeks ago.

Stop searching. There’s nothing to find.

If your desired population doesn’t respond to your social or financial status - you need to keep improving it.

Have you tried being rich?

What are these “connections” you speak of?

I am in this picture and I don’t like it.

Completely lost myself four paragraphs in

Maybe another 25%. Keeping it short works better.

“Created” meaning stolen from labor that is undercompensated, or just outright stolen. “Destroyed” meaning the purported wealth was never real in the first place.

Wealth is defined by resources: access to resources, and ownership of resources. Resources are finite; wealth is finite.

There are plenty of resources in the world to comfortably support all of the people living in the world right now, plus many, many more. Those who own or have access to resources are wealthy. Those who do not, are not.

Those who control the resources extend that control over people who need resources. If there were no people who didn’t have a deficit of resources, then there would also be no people exerting social control based on control of resources.

To accomplish that, most of the resources that the wealthy control must be removed from their control, shifting that control equitably among all. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, one might say.

Wealth is finite, so yes.

They keep your hands clean.

May change the hatred, though.

Nitrile gloves.

Whatever your existing dynamic with this coworker is, keep it the same. More than enough people are going to be backing away because they don’t want to do “the wrong thing,” or getting unnecessarily closer because they want to “be supportive.” Those are both just extra changes she’ll have to deal with along with the loss of her mother.

Offer stability. You can even explain this out loud to her directly.

I hope that is made from three, or five, or seven ribs.

It’s even more than that. The cat thought it knew who was doing the petting, then the world model with that explanation was yanked out of existence.

“Proud black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,”

This sounds like a caricature.

I learned a tiny bit of ASL in college from hanging out with a few deaf people, then some more when we had kids and bought a bunch of kids’ sign language DVDs. Little kids are able to do some signing earlier than they’re able to manage speech, and I know that helped our kids to communicate when they were super young.

(You know all this, but I felt like saying it for the passers-by.) I know that a mistake hearing people often make is thinking that sign language is just a word-for-word substitution for whatever spoken language is primary where you live. It’s really a different language, grammar and all, definitely including those “combination” signs you’re talking about.

Another thing I know to pay attention to is how their hind legs are doing. If I saw weakness and loss of coordination there on top of the other symptoms you’re already seeing, I would make the hard choice.

The fact that you care enough to be concerned about the right thing means that you will do the right thing.

I seem to recall that there are rhymes in ASL, where signs for two things have similar motions/shapes/speeds.
