  • Body Control

    By Andrea Menzies

    The famous Life Magazine VJ 1945 Sailor Kiss photos is a popular image of sexual assault. It was wildly protested by the #metoo movement. I had to work in another class today (4th this year) with this horrific photo on the wall. It shows a terrible image of women lacking body control in the USA being owned by a sailor, and people laughing and smiling at it. Arms at her side hating the kiss with a man she doesn’t know. Men who served their country are not owed sex. He did not know that woman, she was not returning the kiss, he is much bigger, and has her pinned. A very offensive image to see at work. Years ago when I was in the military they tried to make me take an AIT reclassification class when I had not completed basic training, or AIT. This was an illegal action before the military men started demanding sexual favors. I had to have rape survival therapy for years afterwards. Images like this cause real problems. Rapist-rapist all my tortured eyes did see, rapist-rapist all Fort Lee.

  • Dead Day

    When you feel dead for the day because you have a cold, but show up anyway.

  • Night Reasons

    By Andrea Menzies

    The reason I will never go out at night again in Virginia is I was raped when I was in the Army at Fort Lee. Here is a good article from CNN verifying I am not alone in 2022. The constant character assassination by rape sympathizers afterwards daily for victims is very real. If you want to be scared forget about Freddy Kruger, and Google the phrases “Untested Rape Kits” for women. I did not suffer from depression before rape was my daily nightmare. My only hope is to go to a less military dominated area to be social. Rapist-rapist human sewage all Fort Lee, I hate them all with all my soul eternally. When you say depression I say rape, as rapist beaters Fort Lee were my fate.

    (Note: Today I got insulted by a coworker for suffering from depression. I never said to this person I was depressed meaning people are talking about me behind my back, and in addition ridiculing me for having issues forced upon me. )

  • Top Teacher Photos of the Month

    By Andrea Menzies

    Here are my Top 10 Teacher Photos Of The Month. I have included a filter free photo of myself. I am still employed as a teacher, and I love how it uses my fully complete University degree from Loyola University New Orleans to help students daily. Heaven knows the huge amounts I owe in student loans verifies how long I have been to school.

  • Anti Prejudice Post

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am against prejudice in all its forms including racism, sexism, and religious persecution. The troubles in the middle east in the news have made saying this clearly more necessary lately. I had an ex boyfriend who became a narrow minded bigot, and many people falsely thought I agreed with him. It is very narrow minded and sexist to think all women share the politics of their worst ex boyfriend. Religious discrimination is the systematic mistreatment due to religious beliefs of people, and should NOT be tolerated in moderation times.

  • Family Thanks

    Family Thanks

    Thanks to my family Anne and Alexandria and my park bike club friends for many great gifts at this year’s frequent Christmas Holiday parties in Virginia.

  • Sad Story 2

    It was horrible news that a truck killed one of my Texas friends this week on I-35. It made me very homesick to visit Texas. They were a friend from Elysium in Austin I knew from my student years when I graduated University. I have loved spending time with my family in Virginia, and lunches with bike groups in Virginia. However the last 8 times I went out at night downtown in Virginia people tried to take money from my purse, people tried to drug my drink, con-artists swarmed me, gang fights broke out next to me, and gunfire rang all night. Every person I have tried to date in Virginia has been horribly abusive verbally and physically. Nights out for concerts in DC, Baltimore, Austin, and New Orleans have been great for music and nice friends for me in the past few years. It is therefore my vow and New Years Resolution NEVER to go out at night in Virginia again, and if a good band is on tour I will ONLY see them in a town outside Virginia. I will NEVER date a Virginia person again. If constantly going on road trips and train trips on the weekends is what I have to do, then it is what I have to do. The death of my friend reminded me that I had more and better friends every time I was not in Virginia. The government needs to spend more on clean and constantly running public transportation so that people do not have to get killed by trucks. I traveled internationally in my teenage years, and other countries far more poor than the USA have clean trains you can take bikes on everywhere at all hours. Uber is a tiny band-aide on the gushing wound that is a horrible transport system in the USA. The working class has to suffer as the rich have private airplanes and limousines taking them everywhere. The rich in private airplanes then vote on how much money is spent on public transportation, and make it worse every year. This spending cycle creates a horrible death toll daily.

  • Bike Kick

    The problem with being on a bike kick is it is hard to do in winter.
