More diary excerpts please -- you were amazing then and still are. Thanks for distinguishing between the Israeli lobby and American Jews. Shout out to Jewish Voice for Peace!
About 9/11, the Bin Laden family were the only people allowed to fly out of the country the night of the attack🧐 The Bin Laden family are friends with the Bush family. Saddam was going to nationalise the oil fields and kick out Exxon et al. The US needed "probable cause" to invade Iraq and stop the nationalisation from happening. It's also interesting to remember that they were also warned before the attack on Pearl Harbor yet did nothing as well. And wasn't Israel warned prior to October 7th🤔 I'm seeing a pattern here. Oh yeah, there's no way in hell they did not see the insurrection coming. I knew it was going to happen the day of Mike Flynn's Jericho March. That was, iirc, December 20th, 2020. So if dumb, nobody me figured it out, I can't believe the FBI, CIA, NHS, etc didn't.
Thank you Ms. Kendzior. Your description of the horrors the Palestinian children face was especially chilling. There is an old adage that the crimes committed in other nations by a government, eventually work their way back home. I tremble at the thought, and I think we have already been given a taste of it.
This is so rich. I want to have known you a long time ago. What a great friend to have, who is so interesting and so creative. And so cheeky!!! All right.
Oh my! I only get this, as a residential town New Zealander, as we had a small road trip down Florida way June last year. Putting in our date of birth and seeing the Florida man headline was unbelievably hilarious!
“There’s nothing a short ten year old can do for money.” 😄 And “Everything is a lie if you look at it a certain way.” I’m so grateful for you and your honest, uncompromising work. We need your voice. 🙏
“My interest in both Fangoria and authoritarian regimes can be traced back to the same source: A Wrinkle in Time, which set off a lifelong interest in horror and authoritarianism when I was seven years old.” Wow. Me too. That book changed my thinking. This was what I was wondering when I asked about the beginnings of your interest in controlling regimes.
Yes, same! I have an autographed copy from 1986 that my cousin got me when i was little. It’s that old paperback version with the Man With the Red Eyes on the front. I’m glad I have her signature.
Whenever people say to “relax” about her ongoing crises, I always think of the scene when Charles Wallace was brainwashed and told Meg to “just relax and give in”…
Apparently, L'Engle's book is on the "ban it" list of several groups, including the Mad Mothers, or whatever they are called, who are on an unstocking -libraries rampage in Florida, and elsewhere, even as we speak.
I have gifted that book to so many people over the years. I wrote the author a letter of gratitude and received a reply from her daughter and the author was no longer able to reply. It’s the most philosophically moral book I’ve ever read and it influenced me when I ran away from an abusive home and put myself in foster care. We make our own safe places.
Thanks for posting these Q and A's, even for unpaid subscribers. Most writers would not do that.
I just sent a letter to the editor saying that Dems should criticize our own, the way Republicans, do, ie, Harris isn't great but she's better than the alternative. I pointed out that her platform is hardly feminist. Defending her qualification to be President by saying she does so have kids (they are just step-kids), was a real slap in the face to child-free women everywhere, such as myself. She does not seem proud of deciding to stay child-free and single until she was 49. She also throws out the term "trust women" as if a woman needs to be of good character, to deserve having control of her body and anything attached to it. I'm embarrassed by her. And what is she going to do about keeping a president from being immune? Nothing. We are already living under dictatorship.
I would suggest that neither of the Uniparty candidates is anywhere near acceptable to anyone who values justice, peace, and life. There are third-party candidates who stand for those principles. If those of us who care about those things were to vote for such candidates, then we would be sending a message to both TPTB, and to each other of just how strong we are. The MSM suppresses our voices, let us not join them by suppressing our own.
Thank you for rewarding those of us who read to the end. I almost fell on the floor when I read your last fifth-grade quote.
I’m thinking of getting it as a tattoo.
!!!
Hahaha please do, you’re welcome to it! That was fifth-grade me still processing Iran Contra, apparently…
They're so funny!!!

I love Jewish Voice for Peace! And I’ll try to find some diary excerpts that are only mildly humiliating ;)

Kenzior is the best to ever do it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Im constantly amazed at the content. This format was highly enjoyable. We should feel lucky. I know I do.
And do unto others…….😀
Thank you!

I love the "I can't earn money
.." diary entry. Maybe because I can relate, though I'm tall.
thanks Sarah! fantastic, as usual.
Thanks!
Thank you Sarah. Your indefatigable sense of humor throughout dreadful analysis is balm for the wounds. I must listen to more Blue Oyster Cult.
Thanks! Funniest BOC song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIdntHAhTv0

“I also like complaining.” from your diary, adds so much love to “In Defense of Complaining” at the end of THE VIEW FROM FLYOVER COUNTY!
When I dug up the diary it was right after FLYOVER came out and I couldn’t believe it. Defending complaining since fifth grade!

_A Wrinkle in Time_ !! Yes!!!
I read it at age 7 too and then Madeleine L'Engle came to my town and I got it signed! So cool!
Apparently, L'Engle's book is on the "ban it" list of several groups, including the Mad Mothers, or whatever they are called, who are on an unstocking -libraries rampage in Florida, and elsewhere, even as we speak.
That’s really sad — I can’t think of a better book for kids during this time and I hope good parents get it for them elsewhere!

Which candidates, specifically, were you thinking of?
Boom. Again. No matter how fast you type, this is a *bunch* of stuff. I feel like caffeine must be involved. 😋
Oh caffeine was heavily involved...
..as a parent, a husband, and a worker bee.. I can relate 😃
Sarah Kendzior: “I loathe savior syndrome”
Me: Sarah Kendzior for president!!!!
Sorry, Sarah. I'll try harder 🙄
