11-yo white girl from a Very Small Town
They should be fucking ashamed of themselves, although I know they're well past that. If you Google "missing girl" she's the first thing that comes up. I cannot imagine how many horrified bereft parents of other missing children are wondering why they can't get coverage right now. Jesus.
There used to be a web page of information on black missing kids, with a title that was something that implied, "No one else is talking about these kids, so we're going to." I can't remember the name of it, and google found me [link] , which isn't the one I was thinking of but a similar concept.
Jessica, was your sister working last Wednesday night? If so, we may have seen her singing. Dark haired female gondolier--very nice. That was after we had our picture taken standing knee deep in one of the fountains outside the casino.
Not Jessica, but my sister works IT there and is home by 5:00. Being that it's a casino, though, her days off really suck--she only gets Christmas Day as a holiday, and only accumulates one PTO day a month.

Every few weeks I Tweet about Hassani Campbell. It enrages me that his disappearance gets no notice.

Yeah, it's really awful, and there's no reason for it but gross pandering.

Consuela, I'm wondering about your job situation-- are there any next steps to be taken or considered?

I've asked HR to tell me my rank on the list, but they haven't gotten back to me. I believe they are trying to figure out how the scoring happened--if there were any errors, etc.
And I'm going to start having lunches with former coworkers (sigh). My sister tells me the city is hiring.
I am not in a rush--the contract I'm here under is good for another 7 months--but if it's clear that they can't bring me on as a federal hire, I'll have to go. The benefits with this contracting firm are kind of crap, and there's no job security.
Thanks for the smoothie advice, guys. M doesn't like almond milk, so I ended up getting strawberry yogurt and mixed berries (he don't want bananas, he don't want cherries, or any of these -- maybe I'll use VAAAAAASELINE.)
My blender's pretty aggro, so I think -- hope -- the seeds will be an non-issue.
Unfortunately, the first thing that came to mind when i saw ita's post about the little girl was "She's white, right?" And it was borne out.
Happy...goyim?...birthday, Shir!!!
(Is "goyim" a pejorative, or simply a descriptive? Is it like "gadjo" in Romany?)

That's pretty cool. (And it looks really hard!)
