I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to s**t all over them.

I want to remind you of something.

Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.

Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.

And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?

She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?

Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?

Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?

AND DID YOU KNOW …

That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.

WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.

Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.

DO BETTER PEOPLE.

Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.

Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.

Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger
Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results
Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time yet in the same space
It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn't live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you
and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability
but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists to live a life
not half a life

don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

My baby’s the best baby! I am who I am because of you. My daughter is the most inspirational person who has ever entered my life. She’s over-the-tip intelligent, resilient, loving, kind and rational… a nice balance for my crazy. She’s the most amazing mother, dedicated wife, and light to soapy while fighting the biggest battle of her life. I wish she was Yao selfless, but it’s who she is and I love her with all my heart. Every day is Daughter’s Day in my world, but today it’s an opportunity to share. Lawren Wolf, her husband will have to share. Not a FB fan.

Yesterday we posted a picture of a large hole that was dug and left unfilled on the beach. Well, it has happened again this evening. At approximately 6:37 pm, a concerned citizen called our station directly to report another large hole on the beach, in the 1100 block of North Virginia Dare Trail.

The duty crew had to use the utility pickup truck to gain access to the location of the hole because it was not near a public beach access. The total time for this call was approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes because they had to air down the tires, fill in the hole, then refill the tires. The hole was 8’ - 9’ in diameter and 3.5’ - 4’ feet deep.

Please, please we beg you, if you must dig, be considerate and fill it back in! Many people think it’s fun and do not think about the consequences of their actions. Leaving a large hole like this is extremely dangerous to those walking on the beach, first responders and turtles!

We run a minimum 4-person crew. This evening, because of this call, 2 firefighters responded to this call, while the other 2 stayed at the station, in case any other emergency calls came in.
