I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

I agree, they catastrophize over stuff and i feel like they are spinning their (and my) wheels in futile outbursts of indignation. But they are well-meaning and can be trusted other than that, i think. I asked them not to be so verbose. Hope they listen.

As an immigrant and new Irish citizen I am eager to use my white privilege to help other immigrants combat racism. I wish I knew some solid ways to do this. The Cork Volunteer Centre has diversity programs in which I have participated and these are very good. I'm open to doing more. Suggestions?

I was a kind of a child prodigy musician, and paragoric helped me with stage fright. I know why now... opium and alcohol could stop buffalos in the stomach, not just butterflies!

The only thing that helped mine was being rocked by Aunt Nanny, God rest her sweet soul.

We used to call chest rub "Tickle Tickle" and we knew it made you well if Mama put Tickle Tickle on you. And she always had a little game or toy put away for sick days. I miss her lovely ways. I was so lucky.

I'm from the generation calling females this age young ladies. It assumes that they represent the best characteristics of budding maturity and innocent childhood. As an elder now it is my job to do all I can to protect them and punish those who harmed and took their innocence away.
