The emergence of a jail-themed jungle gym at the Tompkins Houses in Bedford Stuyvesant has the community in an uproar. Black and Brown News, which ran this image earlier this week, did some homework and found that NYCHA was responsible for ordering it earlier this week. I don’t think they should put that there in a neighborhood where many Blacks and Latinos go to jail,” one resident of the public housing complex told BBN. “My son will ask me, Mommy, if I go in there, will I go to jail. As of yesterday, NYCHA had told BBN it was “looking into” the matter and there had been no response yet from the mayor’s office. Pretty mind-boggling and offensive, no?

Climbing pine trees. Playing with pine needles. Throwing pine cones and siblings, cars, pets, etc. Whittling pine twigs with your trusty pocket knife. Stacking freshly cut pine boards at the sawmill. Etc. etc. etc.
I had to learn Renascence by heart in 11th grade.
BSD, high tide just about eliminates any problems anyway!!!!

Childhood’s secret knowledge: to get pine tar off your hands, rub your hands in dirt.
legion: I’m not talking only about our Sally, bless her heart for falling in love with Jeff. And I suppose what’s-her-name willingLY had a child with ol’ Strom as well.
If he really was so strongly against slavery, he just could’ve avoided having slaves in the first place.
I wonder why the flat tax didn’t get a better look. Seems to be the fairest way to pay for the services the govt mishandles.
Legion, I had a lon lost Colombian friend contact me last night. he’s been away at school in Paris for the last 4 or 5 years.
