125. A Day of Infamy 2021

January 7, 2021January 10, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday January 7 2021 News from January 6 2021 Not even a week into the new year and we, the citizens of the United States of America, have made another historic day to add to those of infamy. And by we, I don’t mean all of us. Most of us took on the role of … Continue reading 125. A Day of Infamy 2021

44. Toxic history

June 19, 2020August 26, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Friday June 19 2020 Today is Juneteenth, a day memorialized as the day of emancipation of enslaved people. NPR started with this factoid, then followed up with a story about the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921, a horrific event that is not generally taught on school curriculum nor included in American History textbooks. When did … Continue reading 44. Toxic history

42. Taking advantage

June 13, 2020August 26, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Saturday June 13 2020 Procter & Gamble, of which I am an alumni, has a well-moderated Facebook group for retirees and others who have left the company while in good standing. It’s a closed group and volunteer-run and, as these things go, has two moderators. With over 2,200 members of the Life After P&G Facebook … Continue reading 42. Taking advantage

40. Collateral prey

June 6, 2020March 7, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ 1 Comment

Saturday June 6 2020 My thoughts yesterday were cut short before I could lead to my next thought. Because I had to stop writing to, yep, cook dinner. Again. The power of mob mentality across social media platforms is really concerning me. Some people are talking about how it’s a shame when someone can’t share … Continue reading 40. Collateral prey

39. Trial by our social media

June 5, 2020August 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Friday June 5 2020 I was considering how I’m sharing the Ohio COVID-19 stats with each post. Thinking this is no longer useful or impactful info as the number of new cases start to plateau, so maybe I’ll just post the graphic on a weekly schedule instead. Then this headline shows up today on CNN.com. … Continue reading 39. Trial by our social media

38. Opposition

June 2, 2020August 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Tuesday June 2 2020 Oh, FFS. Can we go back to worrying about COVID-19, please? This super-bug has no discrimination or bigotry. It is an Equal Rights virus. Our country is imploding. Like a match to the drapes, this new fever is spreading without thought. Every opinion is stated as a fact of absolutes. If … Continue reading 38. Opposition

37. Finding the positive

May 31, 2020August 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Sunday May 31 2020 Last day of May. March was awful, April worse. May leaves us with hope for better times in June, because I can’t bear the thought otherwise. Organized protests are happening in cities all over the country, all to promote the awareness of police brutality against people of color. In Minneapolis, the … Continue reading 37. Finding the positive

36. Shopping discounts

May 29, 2020August 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Friday May 29 2020 I saw a video posted yesterday of a Minneapolis Target store being looted. I don’t know who was recording, but maybe they get credit for taking a moment from criminal behavior to mark this moment in time for the rest of us. It was stomach-churning to watch, really. Some people were … Continue reading 36. Shopping discounts

35. Wind and Fire

May 28, 2020August 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday May 28 2020 Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the Memorial Day tornadoes that tore through the Dayton area. We got lucky and we know it. When we looked at the maps developed after the damage, our house was between two twisters that split off on either side of us. Our neighbor claims to … Continue reading 35. Wind and Fire

25. Hornets and tigers

May 7, 2020August 20, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ 1 Comment

And now we have Murder Hornets and all the OMG news that goes with such a thing. To be honest, I haven’t looked into this. I’m still waiting to meet a Killer Bee from the 70’s.
