Thanks for linking to that! Interesting. I refreshed their page and they have more to say now that it's happened.

The guy in charge was having medical and personal issues. And doesn't seem to have access to everything at the moment. It's a bummer, and I hope things get better for him, but that's how projects like this go sometimes.

True! I think I'd go that direction, too. But I can imagine someone else being like "nerve pain sucks and it's just a finger" about it.

I just think the option was between two different surgeries, neither with an ideal outcome, not between just waiting for it to heal and amputation, so it's not as silly a decision as it first seems.

He urgently consulted a plastic surgeon who said that even with surgery to repair the finger - and the long recovery time - it may not regain full function.

Honestly, it seems like a pretty logical decision. Lots of people would opt for amputation in that situation, I think, even without factoring in giving up a lifelong dream.

Fishback declined to comment for this story as the nudist values his privacy.

I respect someone who knows what he's cool with sharing, and what he wants to keep private.

Yeah, but one strategy against christian attempts to force themselves into schools is to have a number of different religious organizations request the same right.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/black-like-me-50-years-later-74543463/ Here's an interesting article on that.

By the late 1960s, however, the civil rights movement and rioting in Northern cities highlighted the national scale of racial injustice and overshadowed Griffin’s experiment in the South. Black Like Me, said activist Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), “is an excellent book—for whites.” Griffin agreed; he eventually curtailed his lecturing on the book, finding it “absurd for a white man to presume to speak for black people when they have superlative voices of their own.”

This lawsuit is like an ad for her show, and she doesn't even need one.
