Source: Me. My son was less than 2 months old when I left my ex-husband. I was about 7 months pregnant when I found out he was having an emotional affair with a coworker of ours. I moved in with my in-laws, who knew the reasons behind our split.

There are much better ways of putting it like...

I had the most annoying conversation with my dad about white privilege where he was like “So do you think YOU have white privilege?!” And I said “Yup.” And he just kind of blundered and spun his wheels because he didn’t know how to react when someone was being honest about this thing and not be self loathing or…

I think yeah it’s two things: (1) subscribing to a notion that everything is always “victim vs. oppressor” and that a person can only be one or another. So if women are oppressed, it must mean that they don’t benefit from white privilege etc. I think it’s much easier to think of things as a collection of privileges…

Oh, the half-round foam roller is my friend, too! I use it flatten and straighten out my spine, as well as to passively stretch my chest and the front of my shoulders after multiple spine fractures. Collarbone stuff is the worst. There’s really nothing anybody can do short of surgery and fixation.

Ribs can become chronically loose, though, from constant subluxation, or from the tearing of their ligaments, or from being broken and not setting properly. They can slip out of their proper orientation along the spine and either grind against each other or constantly slip in and out of position, and the pain never…

Once again, teachers are getting assigned other people’s homework.

They’d save way more money and make better progress by getting rid of racist/bully cops and training whatever’s left on how to respect and care for the people they’re paid to protect.

How ‘bout a bill that requires classes teaching police how to interact with kids?

Dude: “It’s in the Torah”

They sell cheesecake. The place could be covered with black velvet Elvis posters and Thomas Kinkade paintings and I would still go there.

No, you’re optimistic! It’s a good trait. :)

I’ve noticed that some people who are racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic, etc can change their tune once they know and care about someone in said group. It helps open their minds. Obviously not every asshole has this experience, but I’ve seen it happen around me with certain people.

I have no idea if “Spicier” was a typo or deliberate, but I must say I love it. Perfectly juxtaposes with how bland he is.

Good points—I was trying to keep my answer macro and high level. But yes, these are also byproducts of dereg. And GSA city pair model was also changed for government employees flying.

Airlines are heavily regulated. The only thing that deregulation did was uncouple scheduling and pricing from the equation. Get your facts straight.

Thank the Lord for this! Now, can someone in Arkansas finally introduce a law that forces doctors to investigate a man’s entire sexual history and determine his motives for wanting to maintain an erection for up to (but hopefully not longer than, eek!) four hours before he is permitted to get a Viagra prescription?…

You’re so right about the whole program getting reigned in recently. I feel so lucky to have pass travel that I am super-conscious about abiding by all the rules (not just the dress code ones). I would never want to put my UA employee relative in a bad spot. That’s part of why he keeps offering it to me—he knows I’ve…

I’ve heard that about the current app. I’ve got a shitty/buggy smartphone so I tend to rely on my tablet because I’m quicker at it.

When I was non-rev for United 20ish years ago, jeans weren’t acceptable and nobody wore leggings :). Shoes ended up to be our big hassle... every trip we needed to pack at least two or three pairs each because what we could fly in wasn’t suitable for the rest of the trip. Since we never checked bags, and often…
