Which is probably why she got all riled up, but you know what, I don't care. I'm just sooo done with people who think they can just act however they want and get away with it.

Had to physically leave the 4th of July booth I was staffing because this lady came up, asked a question, and started aggressively correcting my grammar as I answered? And WOULD NOT DROP IT or go away after I asked, repeatedly??

You're entitled to your despair. But understand that when you catastrophize on social media, you risk spreading learned helplessness. Which is exactly what fascists want, for people to lie down and cry.

Doomer shit is un-American as fuck. Sorry. Factual. This country didn't even consider me a fucking person for half its existence, and the Supreme Court declared Black ppl didn't qualify as US citizens TWICE.

😆 The first time they said her name I said "Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration is an odd thing to name your kid." I want to know how many adults did NOT immediately think of that.

LOL yes we loved our fit! I could fit about 8 full 2x4s in that thing! But alas we reached its limits - me, husband, two teen/tween boys and a dog, all going camping - even with racks, it just wasn't enough!

The weirdest thing about becoming a substitute teacher was that there was literally no face-to-face contact with anyone except the person who did my fingerprints before I stepped into a classroom. I just filed all the paperwork, they made sure I wasn't on the FBI's most wanted list, and that was it.

Trying to find a long-form article I read YEARS ago about two straight men and their relationship, which was platonic but also intimate, in that they spent most days together, shopped together, checked in, etc. Neither one had ended up marrying (or maybe one divorced?) This ring a bell for anyone?

Also - it wasn't even a full paycheck! Some of the sites I worked for didn't "verify" my hours until after HR closed out for the month. So I got paid for those TODAY.

Yeah the other car was a Civic and it almost went *under* my back bumper! Our spare tire (which hides under the car) actually ended up on top of their hood! I'm impressed that all the cameras on our car are still working - apparently they're arranged so they don't get taken out by a rear-end!

I thought we weren't gonna be able to drive this on the freeway with the bumper flapping but the car guy was able to snap it back on so we're good to go until parts come in!!! Thank goodness - trying to get around without using the freeway was gonna be very challenging!

(We have a long story we can laugh about now but once when we were newly married we lost both cars in one day - mine broke down and when my husband came to get me he rear-ended someone and totaled his!)

I was just thinking about how the only car we never had a crash in was the Honda Fit we just traded in! The perils of living in an urban area I guess.

It's not even the first time! Right after we had our oldest, someone did exactly the same thing with our new car. Kid was fine but nothing tops the terror of a car crash with your newborn inside! (In fact that was my first thought this time - "thank god we don't have a baby in the car!")

My new car!! 😠I was stopped at a light and the guy behind me just plowed into us. (His car was definitely totaled.) This is especially annoying when you are a one-car family but I'm just thankful nobody was hurt and everybody had insurance.

"The supreme court has made the presidency into a monarchy so vote for me, folks. Wouldn't you rather have me as king?" Yeah, I'm gonna vote for him. But I don't have to fucking like it.

😆 Fortunately the pill works for me even if I take it after I've already eaten the thing and am having pain. I'm just kind of astounded at my brain's inability to adjust. Like "how hard is it to remember to take a little pill before I eat dairy?" Apparently quite difficult, lol.

Me: Lactose intolerance? No biggie, I'll just take a pill. Brain: Wait, did I just drink milk? Brain: Did that sandwich have cheese? Brain: Are you telling me yogurt is a dairy product? Haha don't be silly, next you'll be trying to tell me that ice cream--oh.
