you'll be glad to know that this one is still around, although it was moved a short distance to the town center, and also an even larger pecan has since been built in Texas. www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2138

12 feet long and six solid tons, it's a nutty claim to fame made of custom-painted concrete.

3421 SW 29th Street. It's now Tamales El Patio. The building exterior has been renovated a lot, but if you go back to the original Google Street View coverage from 2007 you can see it's the same place underneath: maps.app.goo.gl/s35RKuPRwjgN... ...and I also found a 1950s newspaper ad for the place

Jackson, *Mississippi*, not Michigan. Closed down in 1985 but the building at 113 N. President Street in downtown Jackson is still recognizable today. Here's an article from the Clarion-Ledger of February 3, 1985, about the closure of the shop and some of its history.
newspaper article from 1985 headlined "Thousand of styles later, Fondren's closes shop", about the founding of the beauty salon and school by Ruth "Teacher" Fondren and her sister Agnes in 1936, the life of the Fondren family, and their place in and contributions to the community.

For the ones who did make it, I rarely hear, "I'm glad i waited until my 30s". It's almost consistently, "I wish I had the vocabulary for this when I was 10." These kids have that vocabulary but not the access. That's objectively cruel no matter how you frame it.

Could you imagine the New York Times writing an article saying women were asking for too much with abortion rights and that they went too far? That's effectively what they did here to trans people despite it being the same fight for bodily autonomy.

People need to realize that the New York Times is going to pivot to "self-ID" now, essentially to build up the next fight, a total end of all legal recognition for transgender people. A handful of states have already started passing these laws, and it is absolutely what they are going for next.

remember that these people oppose trans healthcare for children because giving children agency over their bodies makes it harder for them to get away with preying on them and they see themselves entitled to sexually abusing children
