  1. Image result for UT campus protests 

    This is what's happening on my campus. Gov. Abbot is arresting students for speaking out against the violence happening to Palestinnians. So much for freedom of speech. I am not being anti - semitic for pointing out what the Israeli Military is proudly posting , I do not believe that all Israelis are supporting these horrible brutal and careless acts of violence. Why is our governor keen on arresting students instead of putting our tax dollars into escrow so we can make sure we are not paying for weapons (US law forbids a country to use US aid to purchase weapons)?

    If we're not allowed to post current news here on TDN, I apologize and will take the consequences. I am just letting others know what is going on in my life right now.

      My parents came of age in the days of the Vietnam war and have taught me a lot about the anti-war protests and the government crackdowns in response. This has been done before, and it was sickening then and now. I seriously hope it doesn't get to the point it did at Kent State. Being anti-Israeli policy is not the same as being anti-Semitic. It is disturbing that there is anti-Semitism among the protesters, and I believe that that's wrong too. I'm sorry you have to witness this. Hang in there.

  2. Has your name always had the title "The Enabler?" I might be even more sleep deprived than I thought.

      I didn't know that was possible! I like my screenname, but I thought it was permanent once chosen. Interesting.

  3. My gallery is so large that it lags when I organize new items. I hope I haven't made any mistakes as a result, because with 1620 items in alphabetical order any mistakes are difficult to correct.

      I know that, that's how I get new items in their correct place. The difficulty is in finding mistakes among a sea of correctly placed items. 🙂  Once they are found they are easily fixed.

  4. Showing off how Spring Hair Flower looks on my kacheek here so I don't take over @kacheekkawaii's thread any more than I already have. Thingameeba always wears the Black Button Contacts because she's based on a stuffed animal from my childhood. I refuse to take them off no matter how difficult it can be to customize around them.

  6. Got the last of the "get onto the top 50 on the high score table" avatars last night (excluding the avatar collector one because that's different). Posting this here because I had to edit my last post in the avatar collection thread to keep from double posting. As a result, it won't appear as recent activity. Definitely one of the cutest avatars I've earned.

  7. image.jpeg.f7aaa340cb9fc8f33110499ae3f2cb42.jpeg    My ugly school.    image.jpeg.b39865f72cf50809ec30e10ea1e7ebab.jpeg  As you can see, we are right next to a Frontage Road-no where to go!                                                                                     Image result for harmony school of advancement My sibling in Chicago designed this logo that my school continues to use & never paid them (not even the gift card for winning the Design Contest).

    At least we ended up being ok. When they made us evacuate yesterday (Mon., 12/16) at 3:30 pm, we were in Clubs, so most of us didn't have our backpacks or jackets (cold front came through that afternoon and dropped the temp. from 75 to 55). Only had my phone, so I called my mom to let her know.

    We actually had no idea what was going on as they first herded us into the "caged" soccer field we share with the Middle school and we were freaking out bc we felt like "fish in a barrel" bc the rumor was there was an active shooter at our campus (not true).  Then they moved all of us-High, Middle, & Elementary to the muddy field on the other side of the Middle school and a teacher told us that it was a bomb threat at the Middle School (again, not true-rumors!) and we were like, "Why are we being moved closer to the threat?" We saw the Elementary kids being really scared, some crying, so we were trying to help them feel better-share jackets with them if we had them & they didn't. Was really an experience I could have done without.

    Thanks be to God, for keeping us safe! Alhumdulillah! :angel: :rolleyes:
