Folks, I am asking for your help. Our 12yo brought something to our attention last night. A boy in her class has been texting girls in the school for inappropriate photos and wanted to know what she should do about it. Beyond our explanation of what is right and what is not for kids, we also explained to her that once that image is sent it can't be reeled back in. And once it is on the innerwebs it's in an uncontrollable freefall forever. As an experiment for her to follow, I'm asking you all to spread this post far and wide so she can understand just how out of control these situations can be and how fact it can spin pout of control. So much pressure can be put on our young by outside forces to send such images, we have to make sure they know they have recourse.
The tolling for kid images, as if that wasn't bad enough, has turned into sextortion a term I didn't even know about until about 6 months ago and kids are killing themselves over it. As I have told both my kids, should they find themselves in this kind of situation let us know. I will gladly serve my time with a smile on my face knowing some POS is off the streets to never do this shit again.
Fact check: true
The snark from this Times article is fantastic! 😂
I can understand the nightmare [Harry’s] now facing, because I have been to Montecito myself. Having spent just one day in the bland paradise, I can see why he’s petrified of being committed for life (committed being the operative word, because Montecito is like a cross between The Waltons and an insane asylum for the super-rich). Montecito is where Harry and Meghan fled to escape the hellhole of life in the grade II listed, 19th-century Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which had recently been renovated at a cost of £2.4 million to the taxpayer (a sum they paid back when they left).
Seeking a more normal existence away from the limelight, the Sussexes bought a simple $15 million, nine-bedroom house in Montecito, a small, unassuming neighbourhood that is the fifth most expensive zip code in the US.

Hi TeaWithBooks,
Nothing like a bit of snark with the morning cuppa to start the day on a good note. :)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It is lovely to finally see Harry and his victim narrative being called out in the media. It’s about time it happened, and I am enjoying every minute of it.
Islam believes in and actively encourages pedophilia. We are NOT alike...

Can somebody please explain why the Clinton Foundation has an office at the Panama Canal Zone facility … right next to the Darien Gap??
You weren’t supposed to notice this because of the fires.
These two innocent little angels need to be returned, safe and unharmed, immediately ... ... what more need I say ...
