Gotta love that Target canceled my order, made it difficult to contact them, & then straight up disconnected from my chat after telling me I wasn’t deserving of further help because I declined advice to just order a different brand & hope they counted right this time @AskTarget
Just placed an order with Amazon instead. I’ll get it tomorrow afternoon. Guess @AskTarget wasn't interested in holding onto my business. 🤷🏼♀️ Couldn’t even pony up a $5 gift card to apologize for their failure to track their own inventory.
This reminds me of the colleague in grad school who once said to me, “if I weren’t married, we would totally be sleeping together.” It’s so gross what men feel like they can just say out loud.
Like six mos ago, a dude friend called me to say he wished I was “at least bi” so we could have sex bc he couldn’t stop masturbating??
Which wasn’t about me at all but about control & manipulation
I immediately ended the friendship but I saw him last night
@tractorboy_dan @ArthurKatt@265kay@Jaimi_Shrive@RoadsideMum Because ignoring the problem won’t help it go away. “I’m not one of those men,” isn’t enough. Only “I am actively working to identify and stop those men and their behaviors,” will do.
When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy.

This exactly. And the messaging from the candidate and campaign reinforces this experience for me when they point out he’s been fighting the same fight, hasn’t changed his stance in decades. A campaign with no capacity for change or dissent is not for me.
What troubles me about the Sanders campaign now is the same as what pushed me away after supporting him in ‘16: in my experience, there is no room for dissent. There is no saying, “I agree 95% but I feel left out here” - and if you do, you’re an enemy. I hope that changes.
