They Grow Old So Fast

My 15-year-old son started feeling nauseous and “a bit off” a couple of weeks ago. He skipped dinner and headed to bed early, but the next morning he still wasn’t himself. The nausea had lifted but it was replaced with sweats and hot flashes.

He was the arrested and jailed. The warrant was issued by Judge Tammen on March 4, 2021.

Solutions in search of problems

Who knew that hiking had a diversity “problem“?

“Longtime oppression and historical barriers have kept many people of color from feeling comfortable in the American outdoors.”

The article begins with a controversial and assumption-laden assertion with no attempt to offer explanations or examples of said injustices. Presumably, anything other than uncritical acceptance of the assertion would be evidence of racist thinking in and of itself.
