Post A Picture of Anything Thread II

The third 6 week stretch of January this season here in Olympia!

 

Just big brother in disguise.

When I saw this image captioned to express consolation for women and daughters in a cycle of domestic insecurity, it broke my heart and went on to further establish the knowledge of the need for change.

And so much is forgotten in the name of tradition.

In my own life, the social vernacular of my upbringing was all but rife with discriminatory language presenting a casual and relaxed attitude about race and ethnicity, which sharply contested educational advancement on these issues in the 1980s; we were openly anti-prejudicial from the time we were old enough to read and write.

But the social tendencies of our elders tended to bleed through, often surfacing during school recess when someone attempted to have the same casual attitudes as their mentors and role models.

It's important now today that we become conscious of discrimination, and imagery such as this and thoughtful brand journalism are the only things holding us together.

My heart goes to domestic insecurities faced by women like these here, or men who face different kinds of "toxic" or counterproductive masculinity.

Together we are mighty. And together we shall overcome.

I would like you to spank my bottom, whether I was noughty or not. If needs be, I could be noughty, then you can spank me, for being noughty.

 

PS very nice photos too.

Remember the time you lent me your car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me...
But you didn't.

Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was
formal, and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me...
But you didn't.

Remember the times I'd flirt with
other boys just to make you jealous, and
you were?
I thought you'd drop me...
But you didn't.

There were plenty of things you did to put up with me,
to keep me happy, to love me, and there are
so many things I wanted to tell
you when you returned from
Vietnam...
But you didn't.

I waited 5 years to see a live show anywhere. That ended with WWE Raw in Hartford on June 5, 2023.
