Dear Cynthia,
Tell your stupid assistant superintendent that he's 15 years behind the times. I took my girlfriend to prom in 1994. The seas did not boil, the earth did not quake, and society did not instantly crumble. A couple of guys came out of the closet a year later, but I'm pretty sure that would have happened anyway.
Don't back down. Prom is silly, overrated, and damn important in this society.
Love,
la.donna.pietra #condoms

I'm guessing the men where shirtless due to it being hot (likely terrible conditions to work in), so I'm picturing them dripping sweat onto the condoms as they are being packaged. Yuck... #condoms

Are there schools where you need to register your date? #condoms

They were young, but they weren't stupid. They knew what would get them harassed by administrators and students if they pulled it at a school sponsored event. Most gay kids have already been harassed by faculty in school. Of course you ask first, before you buy the dress and shoes and rent the limo. #condoms

Which made the top of the list ("la.donna.pietra and Lisa!") particularly interesting, in 1994. #condoms

I did get my tires slashed, though. I'm pretty sure that was by a fellow prom-goer. #condoms

How could you post about a statue of Mr. Rogers that allegedly looks like a "mud monster," and then link to a story that doesn't even provide a picture? For those of you wondering. #condoms

Why does it look like he's made of hamburger? #condoms

Why is he 11 feet tall? He should be person sized so people could stand with him...Mr. Rogers isn't big an imposing... #condoms

As for the style itself, it seems like a relatively common post-Rodin sculpting technique that I'm not opposed to per se. But the positioning of the figure and the modeling of the limbs is a whole 'nother matter. #condoms

He's like that x-men made of lava. #condoms

"I don't really understand this (quite widespread) investment in understanding Jewish people as the perpetual victims. The last 60 years have constituted quite a turn-around in this situation, and I think it's about time we all recognize it. "
Said here on a Jezebel post- I can only imagine if it was said about any other minority, the uproar it would cause.
My feelings about Israel is complicated as well, but every time I reminded that I'm hated because of my religion I am so thankful and realize how important it is, to have a homeland. #synagogueshooting

1. an orange neo-Nazi sticker placed on one of the pillars inscribed with numbers and meant to represent a death camp.
2. A family who walked through, eating an orange and throwing peels on the ground.
3. A group of high school tourists who pranced through laughing and talking, and not reading any of the inscriptions or reflecting at all that they were looking at a monument to a horrific genocide.
It made me hate people a little bit.

Did you know....
That the concrete blocks are covered in an anti-graffiti chemical that is made by the same corporation that produced zyklon b, the gas used in the death chambers during the Holocaust.
I learned that from a tour guide while I was there. I almost wish I didn't know that tidbit before strolling through. It made me feel...uncomfortable...

it was so serene when i was there, i can't imagine anyone running around, let alone jumping from one stele to another.
