@chuckporter.bsky.social this seems like it would be interesting to you (I'm fascinated that London in 1300 was about the size of Roanoke!!!)
Roanoke, VA (for example) has a higher murder rate than 14th-century London!

Yeah but “boy mom” culture effectively deputized millions of white moms (but not just white ones) to politically align with this administration’s patriarchal vision. So it did what it was supposed to do.

Let me be even more explicit.
Last March, I was part of a team of rangers who coordinated and executed the midnight helicopter rescue of a father and daughter stranded in six-foot snowdrifts 10,000 feet up Wheeler Peak.
Was that "efficient"? I don't know. But I know we saved two lives that night.
