@AllisonRFloyd This is fascinating. I love Romeo and Juliet so much. What do you think about the Zefferelli interpretation? He seemed the closest to this synopsis.

I often talk about how important Shakespeare literacy is—a drum I will keep beating. Literacy in general is essential, and it’s dropping off a cliff in 2026. Also, you don’t want to publicly pay tribute to your dead sibling by inadvertently referencing sex. I will be explain.

@WillieHandler I met someone that was a part of liberation forces. He said he had never seen people that were that starved and were that happy to see them.

Dachau concentration camp, established on March 22 1933 near Munich, was the first Nazi concentration camp, primarily imprisoning political opponents like communists and social democrats. It served as a model for subsequent camps and was in operation throughout the entire Nazi era. Over 200,000 people from more than 40 nations were imprisoned there, including Jews, Roma, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Jehovah's Witnesses. At least 41,500 people died at the main camp due to starvation, disease, torture, and executions. Un the early years of the camps, some political prisoners were reportedly encouraged to commit suicide by SS authorities, often to prevent them from revealing secrets under torture. Guards would sometimes force prisoners to "escape" by running toward the fences or the "neutral zone," which gave the guards a pretext to shoot them. These deaths were then routinely recorded as "suicides" or "justified killings" to cover up murders.

@Noirchick1 Anita’s

What is your favorite Steven Spielberg film?

@orleansway Those pink rollers that were supposed to be comfortable to sleep in, were not.

Why does my “Honk if you think I’m sexy" bumper sticker only works when a light turns green?

I woke up with an incredible headache.

@WillieHandler Oh gosh, Willie. I had not heard of the two-tiered policing and the failed prosecutions. Just reading about it now and it’s so nauseating.

@ymangram At least they aren't backing the haters.

I went to services today and now their is not only a security guard but an armed police officer. The new reality for Jews in Canada.

@sheologian Get well soon, Weeo

@cwharris773 @AdlerPlanet That’s beautiful!

I took this pic 15 years ago from @AdlerPlanet. It's my yearly reminder that #SummertimeChi is near... #Chicago

@Miss_Katie_80 @09steffie @ViQueenie I’m not going to argue with you about something grounded in fact. But you should read up on how Mendelian genetics works in humans, miscengenation laws and colorism.

@ymangram @09steffie @ViQueenie I totally get one kid but both? Sorry I really don’t buy it 🤷‍♀️. Too much fishy stuff going on here including the dropping belly.

Meg out there merching little Betty’s dress.

@Miss_Katie_80 @09steffie @ViQueenie Yes that is the way probability in genetics works. Look at the actress Gabourey Sidibe’s children. There are tons of examples of Black people producing white children the phenomenon was at the root of the miscengenation laws in the US.

@ymangram @09steffie @ViQueenie With both kids? 🤨

@09steffie @ViQueenie That’s not true. Have you ever heard of ‘passing’. Look it up

@ymangram @ViQueenie Don't be ridiculous. Black people produce either black or brown. Racist

@09steffie @ViQueenie That’s the way Black peoples genetics work. We can produce any color skin.

I'm totally confused? Meg is black, her mum Doria is black, her side of the family are black. So how the hell are Archie and lily both very WHITE with blue eyes and straight ginger hair? There isn't a single bit black. No black/brown skin. No black afro hair. No black full bloody stop. I don't believe Meghan is even related to either of those kid's. Archie and lily should be removed from the los immediately because god knows who their real mother is.

@ATRightMovies Hitchcock, Coppola, Spielberg, Lee

Which four filmmakers are on your Mount Rushmore?

@Noirchick1 8 and it’s not even close

Classic film fans... where is your seat?

I'll always pay more for deboned donuts.

@michelle_byoung So cute!

We’ve been married for 19 years and a couple for 24 years

@MissSassbox I bought these pots several years ago for chicken pot pies and indivividual apple crisps

need the pots. need the paper. need the bread. to use them once and never again.

@ewarren @grahamformaine You were my choice for the 2020 Democratic nomination for President. I am so disappointed that you would support someone with a Nazi tattoo who has had disparaging things to say about African-Americans and women. Shame on you, Senator.

Graham Platner's got the grit to fight for what’s right on behalf of Maine’s working families—not billionaires and giant corporations. He’s inspired a grassroots movement to flip Maine, and I’m thrilled to endorse @grahamformaine for Senate.
