Right, which is why I'm shocked that anybody actually feels safe posting their picture there.

Well folk do, and I suppose only folk that aren't particularly worried about that kind of thing will opt into this.

Pointing their plastic finger at me

The same is true of me (except there might be an anonymized voice recording or two floating around). Still paranoid, because even though I haven't posted anything with my face in it, my family and friends probably have. And when you're a woman with strong political views, you can never be too careful on the internet.

I've got access to a premium account if the free account limitations cause problems. The 40 minute limit is waved the first time and sometimes waved after that, though, so it probably won't.

I had a former friend threaten to bomb my parents. After surviving that, I lost all fear of anyone finding out where I am.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I have 4 people from NS on my facebook. The reason I refuse to use video for this call is that unless it's people I know I'd be really worried about like showing things I don't know are there. Besides, I'll be with my whole family and you don't show people who don't give consent on video. I'll definitely be there on audio though.

And that’s perfectly ok. You have a right to protect your privacy after all.

It's not even about privacy for the first part.

It's just the house looks like a shit tip because nobody cleaned it since we all got told we weren't having visitors for months.
