"women became feminists because of social media"
me at 8 years old when i noticed that well behaved girls kept getting placed next to the naughty disruptive boys in class to ‘manage’ their behaviour
“women are raging feminists because of social media”
me in 3rd grade when the teacher said “i need a few big, strong boys to help me carry this box downstairs”
Macklemore’s net worth $25 million.
Ed Sheeran’s net worth $400 million.
Robert Kraft’s net worth $15 billion.
Mackelmore’s charitable donation of $1 million = 4% of their net worth.
Sheeran’s donation of $2 million = .5% of their net worth.
Kraft’s donation of $2 million = .0013% of their net worth.
Sheeran and Kraft should match Mackelmore’s percentage if they want to pretend to be good guys here.
For Sheeran that’s $16 million
For Kraft that’s $600 million
If you’re out there talking about #LindsayClancy, please look at the #KeishaGolden case. Her trial started today. 50 calls to police for help, nothing. 8 months pregnant and got her head slammed into the kitchen counter, she grabbed a knife and stabbed her abuser IN THE LEG to defend herself, now on trial for murder.
Everyone should be supporting her. She is a nurse and turned down a plea to serve 2 years (if I recall correctly) but then she would lose her license and ability to take care of the babies she was protecting. She has a public defender and could use all the help they can get!
Julie Koehler and Kyan Keenan are her lawyers. I can’t find their handles on here but if you can, tag them please. @CookCoDefender
Being 25 (almost 26) means that
- the people my age are still making up lost time from covid
- the people who are older than me aren't sure they wanna settle down
- the people younger than me are fundamentally different.
We are in, arguably, one of the hardest times to settle down and find someone we feel we can trust. It literally feels like I'm a fish out of water.
🚨#BREAKING: A mass sho*ting has just taken place outside of a MIDDLE SCHOOL in Winston-Salem NC after two minors agreed to "fight each other at a park"...
Two people are confirmed de*d and there are MULTIPLE more victims.
PLEASE PRAY!!!!
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!
The dishwasher broke
My wife said "good thing we have the home warranty"
I said nothing
I've been paying $62 a month for three years for this moment
$2,232 for the peace of mind that when something breaks someone will come to the house and tell me it's not covered
I called
47 minutes on hold
They sent a technician
Arrival window: Tuesday through Thursday between 8am and 5pm
My analyst delivers faster than that
And he still hasn't fixed the gridlines
He showed up Wednesday at 4:47pm
Looked at the dishwasher
Opened the door
Closed the door
Touched something underneath
Said "not covered"
90 seconds
That's faster than my bank lets me prove I'm human
I said "what's covered"
He said "the motor"
I said "what's wrong with it"
He said "not the motor"
I said "convenient"
He said the service fee is $75
I paid a man $75 to open my dishwasher, close my dishwasher, and say two words
My analyst could do that
And he's not even that good
I called the warranty company back
38 minutes on hold
Requested the policy
129 pages
I read all 129 pages
Because that's what I do
The coverage section is 34 pages
The exclusions section is 58
The business model is right there
In the margins
Where nobody reads
Except me
Page 91 says "all mechanical and electrical components essential to appliance function are covered under standard service"
Page 104 excludes control panels
A control panel is an electrical component essential to appliance function
Their own document contradicts itself 13 pages apart
I highlighted both
Sent them an email
Subject line: "Plz fix. Thx."
Attached both pages
No other context
Took them three days to send a technician
Took them 4 hours to call me back when I found the loophole
Funny how that works
They covered the repair
Waived the $75
And I canceled the warranty anyway
Because a contract that contradicts itself isn't a contract
It's a suggestion
My wife said "so we're canceling"
I said "we're canceling"
She said "and the dishwasher"
I said "fixed. They're covering it."
She said "how"
I said "I read the policy"
She said "all 129 pages"
I said "the exclusions section starts on page 47. The coverage section ends on page 34. There are 13 pages between them where they hoped nobody would look."
She looked at me
Then she said "you're unbelievable"
I said "I just saved us $744 a year and got a free dishwasher repair. I'm not unbelievable. I'm thorough."
She looked at the ceiling
The dishwasher works now
The warranty is canceled
And the policy has been read
By at least one person
Probably the first
Make common sense common again
Plz fix. Thx.

My coworker used to take the long way home every night. Two extra bus stops, more walking, more money, more time. One day I asked her why she didn’t just take the shortcut alley behind our building.
She laughed and said, “Oh, because a guy followed me there once and told me he could ‘do whatever he wanted’ and no one would hear me scream.”
So now, every night, she calls a male friend and pretends she’s on the phone with her “boyfriend.” Sometimes she even laughs loudly and says things like, “Yeah, I’ll see you in five minutes, babe,” even when she’s completely alone.
Not because she wants attention.
Not because she’s dramatic.
Because sounding “taken” and “protected” is safer than sounding like a woman by herself.
Men cannot even begin to understand the calculations women make every day just to get home alive.
It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.
