<3 Courtney & Dawn, 2 ladies in love <3
I came home last week to find a Pigeon Point Neighborhood Council (PPNC, aka the Pete Spaulding Gang) newsletter hanging off the flag of my mailbox. More than 10 years ago, I explained to him (then “President”) and the then “Secretary” that this was a Federal offense and to knock it off … pretty please … with sugar on top. He scoffed at me and was willing to draw down on that not being true, as did the “Secretary,” who upon being encouraged to go read up on this law said I was harassing her. I called both Spaulding and the Secretary the next time the newsletter was put in my mailbox and was met with the same indifference and demeaning attitudes. I then called the Delridge Council and spoke to the then “President,” who apparently was only feigning concern, because newsletters continue to be disposed of in my mailbox, on the flag of the mailbox, and/or on my porch.
Aside from the fact I consider this group of five or so narcissists to be … just that–yeah, some people like to create power positions when they can’t legitimately earn them–my primary beef with the Gang was that they publicized in their newsletter that the solution to cleaning up their neighborhood of drugs, junk cars, barking dogs, and general nuisances was to contact the “owners of the properties to report renters.” Uh … I was a renter then and found that more than offensive. In addition, on their website at that time, they posted the home phone number of a commercial property owner and encouraged residents to call his number “at all hours” to complain about light pollution coming from one or two of his industrial-strength lights. I called this gentleman about this, solved the mystery for him of his numerous crank calls he’d been getting, and also learned from him that he had been made aware of the problem and in fact it was not his property with the offending lights. He, too, was unable to reason with the Gang. I have all of this printed out in hard copy.
Back to last week. I was prompted to go deeper into the latest Gang shenanigans on the WSB and found their most recent “we are above all laws” stunt–the posting of an illegal sign on city(??) property regarding dogs at/near Pathfinder. No surprise there. I could not care less about the dog issues and illegal or legal signs pooping or popping up around the hood–I do care about a self-selected few who think they own the joint … and don’t. Further digging reveals the Gang is getting ready to paint a “mural” on 21st and Genesee to “pretty up the place” and “calm traffic.” How is this any different from graffiti that some errant teen tags on a wall? It’s not as far as I’m concerned. And if the art style is to follow what this neighborhood typically endures on the signs posted periodically on the sacred Gang-sanctioned sticks, we’ll probably be seeing Spaulding’s mug every time we enter or exit our community.
All of this has been discussed with “the management” (see above) and while I at one time freely bandied about my name and particulars with these folks I choose not to do so now because I genuinely worry about retaliation–gawd forbid if a stray dandelion or abandoned car engine oozes out from the grass in my yard.
Topic: Car2Go Question
So there’s a Car2Go parked in front of my house, since yesterday afternoon, and the radio is on. I can only hear it outside, so it’s not a nuisance, but I’m sure the battery will be dead soon.
I’ve emailed them and not heard back. Does anyone know of a better way to contact them? (I’m not a subscriber)

Topic: Babysitter Needed
Our happy little family is looking for a babysitter to look after our sweet 7month old baby girl in our home while I (Mom) work from home. Primary duties are to provide stimulation and entertainment, read books (she loves being read to), change the occasional diaper, and give the occasional bottle. In other words, hang out with the baby for a couple hours so I can focus on work.
Babygirl is easy-going and happy but starting to be more mobile, and I am finding it more challenging to keep an eye on her and get my work done. Myself and my hubby are happy, active and educated folks who love to ski and mountain biker. Babygirl is our first (and only) kid and we live far from family, so we need some help.
This would be a great, easy, and fun summer (or after school) job for a mature high school or college student, or anyone who loves babies.
We are looking for someone to help 2 or 3 days per week on the weekdays. Exact days are totally flexible based on your schedule. Ideal hours are 2:30/3:00 to 5:30pm, but again, we are flexible on exact timing, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if another time works better for you. There will also be an opportunity to work during the weekends and evenings. Evening weekend hours are not necessary, however, so don’t let that deter you if you only have daytime availability.
Please contact Nikki at nikkiplatte@gmail.com if you’re interested and tell us a bit about yourself.
Hourly rate DOE. Must have own transportation or ability to get to our home without our help. (We live on 38th near the Alaska Junction)
Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks!
Topic: the seven steps of denial
ok.. i lifted this from a facebook post that came from a daily kos article..
for context in these specific 7 steps, the guy (dmitcha) overhears racist slurs against latinos while standing in a group of people that includes latinos…
“The Seven Steps of Denial that next unfolded took less than 20 minutes (this sometimes happened over the course of days in college):
1) “I didn’t do it.” Wide-eyed stare and shrug from one of the listeners.
2) “It’s not my problem.” The other listener walks away.
3) “It was a fluke/out of character.” The man I addressed said, “I’m sorry, I never say things like that.” (I reply, “It’s not my business if you say it, but you can’t say it here where I live.”)
4) “I’m not guilty by association/One of my best friends is___.” The man I addressed said, “I’m sorry. My uncle is Hispanic, I mean not one of THOSE Hispanics, he didn’t come over on a boat–” I cut him off, admittedly. I said, “You are sorry you were overheard. And I’m guessing your uncle does not know you call Latinos w***.” I turn to the wide-eyed guy, who is muscular, covered in tattoos and has short-cropped hair. “Can you relate to this a little? I’m guessing people see you and think you’re an ex-con or just cross the street.” The tattooed man says, “Why are you making this about me?” I reply that “it’s everyone’s responsibility to say something.”
5) “You’re overreacting/hyper-sensitive.”The tattooed man says, “People are too hyper-sensitive to this stuff.” I reply, “No, people are under-sensitive.” He walks away.
6) “I’ll just assert my inherent entitlement/dominance/superiority over you.” The man I addressed steps up and firmly says, “I said I’m sorry. You want to call the police?” I say just as firmly, “Are you kidding? You’re in my home. You can go.” Another resident comes over and asks who invited him and whose fault he is (literally). I walk back to watch the race.
6) “Your thinking I’m a racist, based on an actual thing I’ve just said or done, cannot be allowed to stand.” The man I addressed does not leave. He keeps coming over to apologize, to say he isn’t a racist, to mention his Hispanic uncle again, etc. Another resident, who is White and married to a Latina, tells him he’d have punched him in the face if his wife had been outside. I ignore the man I’d originally addressed and watch the marathon.
7) “Your mentioning race is an affront to our sensibilities.” No one at the gathering speaks to me for the rest of the marathon, and the resident who’d invited the man I addressed stops speaking to me in passing.”
i don’t know if he lifted them.. i couldn’t source the 7 steps of denial on google.. but i love how they could be applied to most instances of “insensitivity” to color/race, sex, sexual orientation and/or any other form of differentness we could name.
well done.
