Retrospective Happy Anniversary #OccupyWallStreet

No worries I'm the penultimate catcher upper and believe the adage, "better late than never" applies to everything in this day and age and just happy you got to here eventually. Timing isn't always everything!

It's worse now that I'm an empty nester and my computer doesn't have kiddies to do the tech maintenance, my everything is bogged down; I'm guessing cookies but clueless. Luckily holidays are coming and it's blackmail time, no home cooked food until somebody helps Mom clear up the computer, true story!

Haha, no one cares about my past labors, but will cave effortlessly for a batch of cookies, blackmail it is! :~)

Thanks for stopping to check it out and glad you enjoyed it too & look for my friend request! :~)

The only time being blue is better!! :~)

Free Humanity...Lots of good images here. It is good to see some focus on the day-to-day life in the camp instead of only the contentious moments getting all of the attention.

It's nice that you noticed that, though I do have some shots of that type as well. For me they became my Liberty Park campers their first night and it's the ordinary part of life that means most to me still.

There's one pic with a fellow in a yellow rain poncho and on the ground you see huge plastic bags. That was a rainy Wednesday after days of rain and the bags are wet clothes to be washed.

I went with a laundry group to Battery Park City where a resident had offered we share their laundry room. We carried bags over to wash dry and fold and carried them back in the rain. It's those things that stick with me and the spirit of community, so I'm glad that's what you got. :~)

If you'd like a full tour of life at Liberty they're at Flicker are free for anybody to share if they'd like to! Occupy Wall Street From the Beginning, or as my daughter teases, Mom's campers growing up!

Thanks for the invite o'stephanie, will be right over to join you and happily Occupy Newsvine! :~)

I'm super disappointed with Mayor B's treatment of OWS and deployment of NYPD in extreme show of force, but the comment it couldn't be farther from the truth from what I've seen in a decade of living here. There have been so many arts programs etc that can't fit in the City budget and he goes into his pocket out of love for NYC and it's cultural richness to make sure it's not lost for lack of money.

I'd say the comment is misinformed and comes from assumptions about how "rich folks spend" it seems unfair and unfounded and I'd challenge the person who wrote it to find a summary of his donation history to prove it.

On some level we all operate from a selfish motive standpoint and support the causes we believe in. I've never actually seen a list, nor looked for one, just know socially from groups who have at various times talked about how if it weren't for the cash he's coughed up, to keep them afloat, they'd go under. :~)

MinnieApolis...I just wanted feedback from someone who lives in NYC.

It's a big city with lots of views, but gotcha. A friend of mine said my comment sounded like I was rubbing elbows with Bloomberg's crowd, but for the record the social circles I'm referring to are a handful of shoestring operation arts groups thankful for the help, not the folks writing the checks lol!!

Haven't seen McSpocky's anthem yet will go now thanks, but my new favorite Dollar is a Vote!

I agree but would like to see legions of Bankers headed for trial and jail with other corporate criminals, toxic profiteers of every stripe following in their footsteps! :~)

Wow go me, usually I'm so loooong in my replies guess on occasion it all condenses, thank you!
