Disgusting image….no two ways about it. This was posted by the head of the NAACP in Philly. His explanation? Blame it on the offended party for, well, being offended… “They use it as a trick,” he said. “If you’re in Europe and you criticize any of them...

I am not much into very, very sweet things but every once in a day or three I crave something sweet. Between sweets, although I love me my donuts most of all, nothing gets to me like a slice o’ cake. Here is a fairly extensive list of cakes from around...

Just a short diary asking for your advice and experiences. I think no one has a totally functional family. I have 2 brothers and a sister in my original family. One brother turned out to be a mean SOB who stole from family, lied, etc….no one (including...

i can say with 100 percent certainty that if I were to describe my personality it would most resemble a cat.., Cats can be inquisitive, friendly, playful, active, loving and independent. Just remember who is boss; cats appreciate attention but only...

I greatly admire people like Greta Thunberg. She is not only politically aware but she became politically active. More power to her. i first became aware of politics when I was 7 or so. I admit I did not know much, but I watched presidential election...

- Gonna keep it short. Been a DK user for some years, found the diary system with the easily browsable lists perfect to get an overview of what was new and relevant to me. I’m completely unable to adapt to the new layout for a site with this amount of...494 comments 206 Recs
- I have MSNBC on and it was just announced that John Lewis has passed away. May he Rest In Peace. Sorry but I’m so upset right now and this is all I can write.24 comments 47 Recs
- This is my first ever post and it has taken a lot of courage to put this on paper because of the potential blowback to anybody bringing up anti-semitism in our party. I returned to the US in the 2018 unwillingly. When Trea45on was elected in 2016 I...98 comments 12 Recs
- I love the community diaries. Yes, some are nuts or weird, but they are fresh and unfiltered. Often they draw my attention to some news that the MSM has not gotten to, is too lazy or disinterested in, or just downright incompetent. I can then research...334 comments 340 Recs
- Music Groups First Currently active groups are listed bold. Groups not posting or reblogging for 12 or so months are listed pale, but might become active again. If interested, contact the group founder or other admin — see end...19 comments 21 Recs
- Yesterday you came together for me and showed me a love that I have rarely had in my life. You gave me a great deal of food for thought. I had not realized the extent of the relationship with my brother Reid was abusive. Abuse has been present in my...15 comments 26 Recs
- This will be very short. I took my brother Reid to the Doctor’s Office. Real bad news on his remaining leg. It is badly infected. I am taking him to the hospital after dinner. He may end up losing this leg too. I am asking for prayers and healing...23 comments 38 Recs
- Hi everyone, This doesn't matter. I think I just need to exhale deeply and I guess I'll do it publicly. I haven't been well for quite some time. My depression and anxiety have really sent me into a whirlwind. I want to say I don't have control of my...277 comments 299 Recs
- Just a brief note, I woke up today and had a Direct Message from TulsaGal on Twitter. A story about her failure to post recently was up a few weeks back, with many concerned Daily Kos members, because she had apparently disclosed that she had...283 comments 606 Recs
- Fat shaming and obsessing over womens’ bodies is a longstanding problem. Toxic internet commentary, unattainable societal weight expectations, and misinformation surrounding obesity have only exacerbated the problem. Fat shaming often stems from...271 comments 145 Recs
