He shows each page with the illustrations as he reads, so there is no need to buy the book.

Christianity is like a tin of tuna he was given in Singapore as a treat.

It was labeled “Crap.”

Mary Ratcliff and the San Francisco Bay View

These are articles about Mary Ratcliff, who have me good support between October 2017 and over the next year and a half. I was transferred back to Salford after fracturing the base of my skull while trying to do a zero point field transfer of my Insight to her on 4 January 2018.

You can learn a lot of issues of concern to black people especially mass incarceration, which makes up about a third of the paper. She says one of her proudest moments was when someone who worked in Sacramento told her the prison authorities blamed the SF Bay View for the hunger strikes of 2012 and 2013 which at their peak, according to the correction department had 60,000 prisoners who had refused nine consecutive meals.
