I would like to add...

After reading the unroll, that the issue of having enough vaccine is not the only factor in the transmission risks of this and other variants.

It is well documented in the African continent especially and in the European continent additionally, that vaccine hesitancy is a major impediment to slowing virus transmission and therefore increases risk of virus mutation.

Vaccine supply is so unwanted and unused in parts of Africa, that stores of the vaccine are due to be destroyed in the coming days and places there are refusing additional stores or vaccine because of the fear and expectation, they will not be used due to widespread vaccine hesitancy.

Vaccines have been touted as our "way out" of this pandemic. However, it is the simpler mitigation factors, like hand washing, social distancing and particularly wearing a mask, that are proving to be the most valuable tools in helping us win this war with the virus.

Too bad law enforcement agencies just chalk up a "domestic" episode

To "meh" because, well women can't be trusted and possibly, most likely in their minds, are the agent provocateurs.

It's time to start beating the drum that is fully supported by Years of research. Intimate Partner Violence, IPV, is almost ALWAYS a precursor to mass murder, mass casualty events.

As soon as any history of so called "domestic" violence is evident that guilty party should be flagged as at high risk of initiating a mass casualty event. It's science!!

I'm sick to death of the ancient presupposition that allows these lowlifes to escape scrutiny and subsequently leads to these IPV offenders never being accountable for their actions.

IPV crosses gender lines.

It's a harbinger of serious, societal violence.

The evidence speaks for itself. It's been researched to the moon and back!

IPV it's a definite warning sign (and should be the first trigger) for LE to get serious about the risks these offenders are to the community at large.

There is also plenty of evidence that victim blaming is SOP.

The antiquated, misogynistic notion that "wiminfolk" are somehow culpable for these episodes of domestic assault needs to be squashed like a bug.

How many women (trans women and even men) do you think there are in prison because they were forced to use self defense against their abusers? Too many!!

Blame is a broad notion and until we stop playing the blame game and follow the science on IPV, all of us, especially our progeny will constantly be targets open to attack.

The primary sorrow of my life is that we, primarily females are not full citizens under the law in the United States of America and that I will die before I see a time when women, all gender identifying females, worldwide, will be elevated to the equal status in life, and all that goes with it, that we deserve.

To borrow a turn of phrase, "It's the IPV, Stupid."

Canned Heat, Jamiroquai



"Canned Heat"

You know this boogie is for real

I used to buy my faith in worship
But then my chance to get to Heaven slipped
I used to worry about the future
But then I throw my caution to the wind
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby

I feel the thunder see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because of the boogie I feel so hell bent, hey hey
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before
I don't know what to do
But then that's nothing new
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through

Hey
Dance, yeah, nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Hey got canned heat in my heals tonight baby
You know know know I'm gonna dance yeah
Off all the nasty things that people say, dance, yeah
But I'm gonna make it anyway
Dance, got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby
You know I got canned heat in my heels

You know this boogie is for real

Only the wind can know the answers
And she cries to me when I'm asleep
She says you know that you can go much faster
I know that people's talk can be so cheap, hey, hey
I've got this voodoo child in-veined on me
I'm gonna use this power to ascend
You know I've got these running heels to use
Sometimes there's no way I lose
I was born to run and built to last
You never see my feet cause they move so fast

Dance, yeah, nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through, just dance, hey
Got canned heat in my heels, tonight, baby
Hey, I've got to dance, yeah
Off the nasty things that people say, dance, yeah
But I'm gonna make it anyway
Dance, got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby

You know this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat in my heels, yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance those blues away tonight
You know I'm gonna dance my blues away
You know this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat in my heels, yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight

Dance, come on! Got canned heat in my heels tonight
Dance! Canned heat in my heels tonight
Dance! (alright) Canned heat in my heels tonight, baby
Hey, got so much

Dance
Hey, DJ, let the music play (Let the music play, yeah)
I'm gonna live this party life (I wanna live this party life)
Hey, DJ, throw my cares away (Let the music play, yeah)
I'm gonna live this party life (I wanna live this party life)
Hey, DJ, let the music play (I wanna live this party life)
I'm gonna live this party life (I wanna live this party life)
Hey, DJ, let the music play (Party life, party life)
I'm gonna live this party life (I wanted, I wanted to go home)

You know that this boogie is for real (Dance!)
Got so much canned heat in my heels (Dance!)
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight (Dance!)
You know, you know this boogie, this boogie is for real (Dance!)
Got so much canned heat, canned heat in my heels (Dance!)
You know, I'm gonna dance my blues away tonight (Dance!)

About littlemissmartypants

I read voraciously and fast with high comprehension. I love to learn and share. But I will never, ever post anything in LBN again because someone always seems to find fault with my posts. I've had too many locked for stupid reasons to ever take LBN seriously ever again. I now just trash it. Which is a shame since there are individuals who are regular posters there that I love. I just send all not truly LBN and LBN dupes to the Trash from now on. No need to even bother any hosts with those anymore. Using Ignore and Trash are proving to be much easier and better options for me than trying to engage and attempt to make LBN a better place. I'm also getting tired of this place looking like the Trump Underground. Trashing every iteration of the surname and all of the clever nicknames people have created make it virtually impossible not to see posts about the psychopath that is the Republican party's preferred presidential candidate. Oh, well. GOTV!
