I was on a 1hr flight to London once, and the woman next to changed her baby.

The thing I am baffled by is: why did the FBI threaten arrest? Were other passengers and/or the flight crew backing up whatever story the man who called it in said? And what was that story, since Blanco claims to have been asleep the whole time?

I flew with my kid a lot when he was still in diapers. It never occurred to me to change his diapers outside of the bathroom. IDK. maybe I’m crazy. . .

I knew a cop (one of the few nice ones I’ve met) who worked in a wealthy, suburan area and people would actually call them because their neighbors yard was messy/overgrown/had patchy grass. He would have to actually explain to these people that having an ugly lawn is completely legal and no, this is absolutely not a…

I’m a parent too, I know that sometimes you have to endure death stares for your kids’ well-being. This was a 747 flying internationally, it had plenty of bathrooms and one with a changing table, which I made good use of when my kid pooped her diaper.

Trust me, transphobia exists on both sides of the aisle.

There’s almost always a changing table in the bathroom. I’ve used one before with a one year old. It’s neither easy nor fun, but I would say it’s probably easier than using the seat.

And yet we “libruls” are the snowflakes who need safe spaces. Riiiight…

One time I was on 6AM flight and the dude sitting next to me ate a can of tuna fish and three hard boiled eggs for breakfast. That definitely deserved having the cops called.

Dear homophobes, racists, sexist, and xenophobes: it is not the job of everyone else in the world who is not like you to erase their identities just so you can remain “comfortable.” Get over yourselves.

It is. Especially because the average, non-shitty person is usually bothered due to something specific - having their space invaded by someone’s luggage, loud and obnoxious behavior... This guy called the cops simply due to Mykki Blanco existing and happening to be sitting there.

I can’t count how many times I’ve been uncomfortable with the person sitting next to me on a plane. Everyone is packed like sardines- it’s gonna happen.

To be honest I’m not really sure what Delta did wrong. I do think in the name of good customer service they should respond, but the guy called the cops not the flight attendants.

WHY DO PEOPLE CONTINUE TO FLY DELTA?! Seriously, I would rather have a 1000 hour layover on a different flight than fly Delta. Or American. Or Spirit.

I always thought the best stranger to sit next to on a plane was one that fell asleep and didn’t’ actively bother you. Trying to imagine calling the cops on my row mate for sleeping and not bothering me.

Literally no lawyer in the US uses JD. None. (Well, except you, I guess?)

I disagree on the “doctor” point as long as they’re being referred to in the context of their field. If you’re talking to a professor at a university or someone doing research I feel like “Dr. ___” is way more appropriate than “Mr./Mrs./Ms. ___” because it acknowledges their qualification to speak on the subject.…

I will state one more time: While the term itself has no legal meaning, it is a simple notation of something that very much has a legal meaning—whether a person is licensed to practice or not.

JD means you have a law degree, but are not barred. Get barred somewhere and you can use Manny Both-Hans, Esq. Right now, you just have the debt and the degree, but are not licensed to practice internet law, which makes your degree less useful.

I have a friend who achieved a doctor of physical therapy, which requires no thesis defense or journal publications. She’s now a yoga instructor, and people call her Dr. Yoga, which is an insult to everyone who has actually received their MD or PhD. A really great girl otherwise.
