A reminder that even in his lifetime, Christopher Columbus was considered so horrendously cruel that the people responsible for the goddamn Spanish Inquisition went, “oh my god, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???” and had him arrested and stripped of his titles.
New things ‘learned’ #datingin2020. Men and women can’t be friends. Apparently. 🙄 yeah no, just no. I love my men friends. I love my women friends. I love my enby friends. Easy as that. #fuckthat
Things I have learned from dating again in 2020: I’m way more interesting in person, I’m not quite as ugly as I thought I was, and guys seem to think that we should drop everything to meet up with them. 🙄 and my favourite, coz I’m chubby I’ll be less picky. Yeah... no.
Our friend Pamela just told us that “According to Jewish tradition, a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah, which began tonight, is a tzaddik, a person of great righteousness.” We found that very comforting. So strange to be eating these apples and honey with this sadness.
My goddaughter was fussing in the car. I turned on @Sawbones and she quietened down the second she heard @sydneemcelroy speak! Less so when @JustinMcElroy spoke. Getting the medical knowledge in early! She’s 2 weeks old 😊🤣
@AITA_reddit Having previously been told by cops that a repairman who sexually harassed me wouldn’t have any repercussions I feel like OP did the thing I should have done. NTA.
@neonmoonmilk My dad commented they’re probably down on their numbers- possibly thought they could scare me or that I’d have some other violation they could exploit. And who better to pick on that a brown girl in traditional clothes driving a car not registered in her name. He’s pissed.
I got pulled over again. Because I was driving my aunts car. I didn’t look like the owner so they did a spot check. I was asked who owned the car, why I was driving, and was told to stop being aggressive when I was frustrated with the repeated questions. /1
I was not in fear of my life, I was confident that no physical harm would come to me, that much is lucky. But I am very sick of this. There is a reason I tend towards hyper vigilance around cops. /end
When I apologised for being short with them, that I was frustrated and short on time, they warned me again to not be aggressive. Ultimately they left me alone. No warning, nothing. Just picked me up on a spot check and got noticeably more hostile on seeing my name /3
