This gutted me to write. Hope it makes someone feel less alone. As one researcher put it, sibling abuse is on edge of what we allow our ourselves to know about what people do to each other. Abuse happens not just w/strangers, not just w/adults, but w/children, sometimes even children in same family.

I had a similar reaction to the way they talked to/about her as an older person with a personality. She’s not any more of a character than the tight-skinned CNN interviewer dispatched to the scene.

meanwhile, one of the ballot proposals was to move city elections to align with federal ones (we’d vote for mayor and president in the same year). maybe turnout is not a problem when people are activated and energized ❤️

crazy stance to take after gutting education nationwide and deprioritizing children’s well-being. you banned books then got mad that people can’t read….stupid.

I would read it - this is the “kitchen table issue” that needs to be talked about. I’m always surprised more people don’t know!

1. You should vote but if you just can’t stomach any of the candidates, at least go sign in to keep your registration active. 2. You don’t have to fill out the whole ballot, you can just vote for the races you’re informed about.

I just feel underwhelmed. It seems like she went understated with the hair and makeup to let the dress shine, but the dress is not doing all that much….. and the silhouette doesn’t make me want to look twice

The Hampton Run-Around ran them people around and right up off the campus. Love to see it. 💙🏴‍☠️ shoutout Ms. Johnson, Ms. Walker, Ms. Baker, Ms. Long and all the other HU Employees who insist on honorifics — don’t change ladies! Thank you for your service 🫡

Vendors PAY Hampton to come sell things during HC. Hampton gets the vendor fee whether you break even or not. They have every incentive to approve as many apps as possible (and the space to extend the bazaar) but they said “we don’t want your money” to HALF of the people who offered to pay them.

black star reviews @blackstarreviews.blacksky.app · 04/11/2025

they didn’t know that a single typo or the right answer on the wrong line would have them packed up. Hampton told the news: we received 36 vendor applications and we approved 18. A 50% approval rating! (And I told you they’ll whip out a record real quick)

they don’t know the septuagenarians in the office who could’ve retired years ago but stay because rules and routine keep them feeling young and refusal arouses them!

I should’ve *never* been worried about that Blexit group down at my Home By the Sea because those cotton-heads didn’t know who they were dealing with.

you wanna start a new club? no matter how informal, gotta have a faculty advisor, gotta have by-laws, gotta have an e-board.

you wanna hang a flyer in the student center or even in your own dorm? gotta have it approved by student activities, gotta get the embossed stamp. (expect a one-week turnaround.)

the “Hampton run around” is part of the initiation process. Anything you want done requires a form…in triplicate! And that was as recent as 2012.

scary to be reminded of exactly how much individualized data businesses have on their customers in a cashless world: age, income, frequency of visit, typical order, habits over time, etc.
