@peachmilfshake When my stepdad died, I did all the arrangements, it helped a lot. My mom sometimes doesn't even recall that I did, which means I did it right, she didn't have to think about much of any of that part.

@_CharlesPreston @chick_in_kiev I spent a while this week telling my 5 year old that the Panthers were heros who fed children who couldn't eat. I don't want her growing up with a bunch of shitty FBI approved notions of who those heroes were. But an hour of watching Angela Davis speak was all it took for me.

@_CharlesPreston @chick_in_kiev I finally got her to understand recently that no one belongs in prison, even 'bad guys', because prison is only being cruel to avoid solving the real problem that caused the crime. Also, she is figuring out that the Civil Rights Movement is still happening, and nothing is over.
