I keep a penny, nickel, dime and quarter in my turret adjustment toolkit.
Maya will confuse at first, looks like a Canadian coin, should be in the metric set.

I just remembered we used to spin quarters. If your quarter stayed spinning the longest you won the other guy's quarter.

I remember bouncing quarters into cups of beer as part of a game too. Razz

Angelou spoke at my freshman year college commencement and I had to go as part of a class assignment. I was fine with it until she started in on white people, men in particular, needing to read poetry by black women if they ever hope to be considered cultured. This was 1990 and the left was already doing that shit. I’ve had a negative opinion of her ever since.

Well of course she did, it's what being cultured means...

(Learning about other, surprise: cultures and perspectives.)

What do you think cultured means, otherwise? Enjoying some General Tso's chicken?

You cannot, in fact, be cultured without such things. It's literally impossible.

Some useful synonyms for Cultured: "cultivated, artistically aware, intellectually aware, artistic, enlightened, civilized, educated, well educated, well read, well informed, learned, knowledgeable."

It wasn't a cult she was trying to recruit you into, it was some ... poetry.


She never mentioned anything like “other cultures than your own” or encouraged anything but black female perspective. You and I both know the pile she was shoveling.
