@Mrmemeess Men: we’re the providers! Women must stay home and let men provide!

Women: so if you can’t provide, I will leave to find someone who can.

Men: *surprised pikachu*

🚨‼️🚨 LOCK IT UP PEOPLE 🚨‼️🚨

[Samurai Shiba @SamuraiShibaJP]

My wife has taught high school in Tokyo for twenty years.

Every year, a few of her students spend a year living with a family in America. When they come home, she asks each of them one question.

"What do you miss?"

She expects hamburgers.

She almost never gets hamburgers.

And these aren't old stories. Most of these kids came home in the last two years.

"Every time I left the house, my host mom said, 'Text me when you get there.' In Japan, nobody needs to know where I am. In Ohio, somebody always did." (Mina, 17, Ohio)

"If you walk toward a door, an American will hold it open. Even if you are very far away. So you have to run. I ran to so many doors." (Itsuki, 16, Georgia)

"My host brother screamed on the floor of a grocery store. A stranger walked by and said to my host mom, 'You're doing great, Mama.' She almost cried. I didn't know strangers were allowed to say that." (Aoi, 17, Texas)

"We went away for the weekend and left our trash can at the curb. When we got back, it was by the garage. Nobody said who. My host dad said if it had been there one more day, the neighbor would have knocked." (Haruto, 16, Minnesota)

"A car got stuck in the snow in front of our house. Four men came out of four houses. Nobody called them. They pushed, the car drove away, and they went back inside without saying their names." (Ren, 17, Michigan)

"Every American has jumper cables. Maybe half of them know which clip goes where. The other half help anyway." (Shin, 16, Montana)

"In July, my host family put a cooler on the porch. Cold water, snacks, and a sign: 'For our delivery drivers. Thank you!' I asked if they knew the drivers. They said no." (Nanami, 16, Arizona)

"Downtown, there are banners on the lampposts. Photos of soldiers from the town. Some old, some very young. My host grandpa walked me down the street and told me every name." (Yuna, 16, Iowa)

"I got a C-plus on my first test. My host dad said, 'I'm proud of you,' and put it on the fridge. In Japan, nobody is proud of a C-plus." (Takeru, 17, Pennsylvania)

Then the quietest girl in the class raised her hand.

Sora. Seventeen. Missouri.

"Nobody asks me 'home safe?' anymore," she said.

She was wrong.

In September, there was a typhoon warning for Tokyo. At 2 a.m., Sora's phone lit up.

It was her host mom. In Missouri. Watching the weather in a country she had never been to.

"Saw the storm. You home safe?"

Sora told my wife she cried for a long time. Then she typed the answer she had typed a hundred times, from football games and friends' driveways.

"Home safe."

Her host mom wrote back one line.

"Good. That's all I needed."

My wife has asked that question for twenty years. Not one kid has ever said they missed how big America is.

They miss how America says goodbye. And how it checks that you got home.

So, America. You think you've lost something.

You haven't. It's on a porch in Arizona. It's pushing a car in Michigan. It's awake at 2 a.m. in Missouri, watching our weather.

You don't remember doing any of it.

A kid in Tokyo will never forget.

@USADocumented If there are reserved and paid parking then there’s usually also a parking attendant and the building has license plates on hand. I’d at least go to them first and ask them to ID the owner and call for them to move.
Also waiting for a tow would take too long.

@VP How dare you invoke the Lord’s name after defending that atrocious ad by Vivek.
Grow a back bone and actually stand by the words and actions of Christ, you fucking hypocrite.

[Maeson @_MaesonC]

@kellyclarkson Idk. Your behavior and crash out is really weird and disappointing. I don’t think you need to drive a mob towards this small business just b/c you had a “bad” or weird customer experience. No one harassed or harmed you, you ego got bruised. Idk do better.

@PenPizzaReport It’s also Pride so Freddie’s may just be busy with special events.

@RepMikeCollins You are a disgrace to your office and our country. Shame one you.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

I find it deeply odd….

That some of you

(mostly men)

Need a leader to follow

To practically worship

Some dude you will defend with blind loyalty when you know they cross a line

That isn’t a sign of strength

…but of innate insecurity & weakness

But hey, you do you.

[Maeson @_MaesonC]

@ryanhallyall Yesssss!!!!

[Maeson @_MaesonC]

@libsoftiktok You are such a hateful, soulless pathetic excuse for a human. I pity you and anyone exposed to you.
Get offline, touch grass, and find an ounce of dignity and kindness before you even think of commenting on other people.
