I bought a gray hoodie prior to hearing about Trayvon. I've kept it in pretty good condition and use it to this day. In memory of all those murdered by pigs
When nothing changed after Sandy Hook I knew the country was cooked.
I was a kid myself when Trayvon Martin was murdered in Feb 2012 and when 26 people (including children) were murdered at Sandy Hook in Dec 2012.
@greatestdisease One of my uncle's best desserts is this raspberry pretzel dessert that he makes all the time
Pretty much like this one https://t.co/B71WjVZGLZ
@greatestdisease One of my favorite desserts, called "dirt cake," came from a local supermarket. Ingredients are like crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, cream cheese/cool whip blend, and chocolate pudding in alternating layers with a cookie bottom and cookie sprinkled pudding top
So good
@hiphipfrey People should just shut the fuck up about names
I helped someone as a customer, in the early 00s, a cis white male named Kim. Do you know what I said?
"Nice to meet you, Kim. How may I help you?"
THAT'S IT. Why make a big deal of something like that
I really don't like that the only way I get to see someone from the Wolves win a championship is when they're on another team, but I'll take it
Congrats, CAT
@dracarycs The second, I was driving from Minneapolis to St Cloud sometime in the 2010s and I end up driving through the worst downpour with high winds that I've ever experienced in my life
Switch from listening to my iPod via car radio to live radio and yeah, I'm driving behind a tornado
@dracarycs Luckily, I've lived in Minnesota for nearly 40 years and only encountered 2 tornadoes
1 was while I was in Mankato in like 2006 that tore through St Peter, while the sirens are going off in my area and it's not even raining
@RossWBermanIV Yeah. If you ever want to be disgusted, read Casino Royale
It's basically Bond SAing Vesper until she ODs on sleeping pills and leaves him a note
@warmandpunchy And then in between the awful trump admins, the guy who was VP for hope and change was now just "not quite trump" and it just all sucks
Thankfully, I have my family
@warmandpunchy Yeah. We were on the cusp of an Al Gore presidency which might've had a lot of promise and then we got 8 years of Bush, endless war, were the laughing stock of the world
Then we were promised hope and change and neither were delivered and now it's like...well fuck
@sxwrkr_ The FAA sucks, but the strides orgs like the NTSB has made are phenomenal. They get people to open up because they don't care about blame, they care about finding issues and fixing them
And then there's crew resource management and a bunch of emergency checklists that save lives
@sxwrkr_ My mom said to combat a lot of issues like this, she saw hospitals in the area started recommending doctors use a lot of lessons from the aviation sector. Checklists, swiss cheese model, actually writing stuff down. It dramatically reduced shit like this
