Classic. A huge multinational organization can systematically target non-white women with humiliating treatment, but the real racists are the ones who notice and call it out. It must be comforting to create a bubble where racism is defined so carefully that it can nearly never occur. Bad treatment of some white people…

And i just remembered my dad stood in line to get it signed for me.
The year I sent my grandma a thank you note and she sent it back with grammar and punctuation corrections in RED INK.
He said he was concerned his passport would get stolen, which still makes no sense.
i was not good at gift-giving as a child, although i took it quite seriously & tried hard. i gave my mom a package of re-useable dish clothes (handi-wipes) one year (even though they were hard to find in the store, i was intent on giving them to her) & another year, it was a can of hairspray. i thought she would love…
RiRi is BAE,
I had a reverse of that. While in a rather serious conversation that would ultimately determine the course of both our lives, I spontaneously proposed to my wife while she was WASTED on two bottles of red wine. Her response was “wahht did you say? Fuck you. Fuck you.”
This is not really embarrassing but it was a holiday party challenge for me and may provide some seasonal cheer.
I have had my foreskin removed without my consent, and I think you’re a fucking embarrassment.
She’s the right person for the job right now. I have a record of encouraging the party to promote younger people, particularly for the 2020 Presidential. But the job of Speaker (when performered properly, as she did 2007-2011) is managerial, and she’s an excellent administrator/delegator.
Bridal showers aren’t really a thing where I’m from. Some people have hen parties, but people don’t really bring gifts. I didn’t hvae one myself, and the only one I’ve been to is the one I organised for my best friend. Spa afternoon followed by dinner at a restaurant. Everyone paid for themselves, although people…

I don’t understand that desire (having a baby at home with as few interventions as possible). I understand the second part, but I don’t see the benefit/appeal of being at home. There is nothing relaxing or special or safe about needing to call 911 and receive emergency care from a paramedic or being transported to an…
Okay, for starters, I want to say that I have never *seen* a ghost. Maybe at least in part because I don’t want to, but there it is. I have, however, *heard* some things that have decided me to never ever ever live in a detached home again, because as long as I have neighbors in my same actual building, I have…
This year, I’m pretty sure I became part of someone’s ghost story.
This is my first time posting, and I apologize for the length. I have never physically written any of this down, so once I got started, it just poured out.
About ten years ago, I was a student teacher in a summer English program held in a remote-ish town in a foreign country. The idea was to give local high school students a semi-immersive experience: the (American) English teachers and students, along with an interpreter, would all be living together for a month in a…
Well, we are getting a decade of GOP majority in the Senate either way, plus the White House, and a conservative Supreme Court, so yeah, I’ll take a Hillary presidency (even without dismantling an oligarchy).
My mom’s office had a UPS driver who was a sarcastic pain in the ass. One day she couldn’t find a seat at a popular fried chicken restaurant during a busy lunch hour. The UPS driver was there and offered to let her sit at his table with him, promising not to talk to her. Luckily they did talk, and they’ve been married…
