Back in the 1940s my grandmother’s older brother in Yorkshire was a bit of a ‘man about town’ & used to frequent the Jazz clubs in Leeds. She told me one time her brother came home from the club with a Black man who said to her “I heard you made a good cup of tea”…so she made tea for Duke Ellington.

Katy Perry is super sketchy & has a long history of SA to men, women, teens. If I were Sophie Gregoire I’d make sure my kids had zero contact with her.
I wonder if Justin Trudeau is regretting leaving the woman who held him up in his career only to be dumped by him the second he has real time for family, to go chasing the buffoon molester that is Katy Perry. He deserves her and the shame that comes with dating her. What a downgrade he went for.

Working on playing with a specific color palette and from my imagination and very intuitively. This turned out far nicer than I expected. Really like these colors.

Really really interesting points being made in this compilation reaction video to the news that 6 or 7 or more warehouses & stores have been set on fire or sabotaged in some way.
Specifically, insurance companies should require paying employees a livable wage or not have their premises insurable.

@DrALJONES
Those ‘privileges’ come with expectations of certain thoughts, behaviors, conformity, IOUs, you become a dependent receiving a kind of authority over others, but to get it, you lose authority over self. Wealthy Others determine your range of motion. All for the illusion of power over other others. When the only power anyone really has is over self. I do not relate to the temptation of unfairness. I want the wages I’ve earned (& been denied), not the rewards unearned & offered.
