In some instances, but I don't think this qualifies? The notable example I can think of is when the woman sued her little neice's family for breaking her wrist from a jump and hug. She was lambasted as a monster, but in reality they were all ok with it and it was just so that their superior health insurance would pay…

I choose to believe haha.

One of the public land sites I work at is a former military base, and for "fun" during COVID people were bringing metal detectors and pulling unexploded ordinances out of the river. Nothing tragic happened and I think everything has since been removed and disposed of properly but like........why?????

It's officially part of the 1812 overture that gets played at lots of patriotic-adjacent pops concerts. I know a lot of orchestras still blast it, but I am decently confident they're using something safe and vetted and not a legit explosive. That said it still scares me everytime.

I regained hope when I ducked into my local liquor store and heard two grisly biker dudes talking about getting beer for their Superbowl party. The shop owner asked where they were watching and they barked “outside of course, not safe to do anything inside.” Can't guarantee they're planning a safe outdoor gathering…

Mr. Rogers 😭 He died a couple days after my beloved cat and it was too much. The Mr. Rogers documentary kills me, I cry every time I watch it, I can't even talk about it without crying. "Children need to know that they don't have to do anything special to deserve to be loved." UGH.

I think it’s pretty telling that the cis white and ostensibly more financially stable (based on their other gigs and position here) writers are the ones having a problem understanding what stay at home means...

Lol I wish, sadly we did not have an attraction that could also electrocute you but that place is legendary. Action Park or something?

I worked at a kids summer camp a couple days a week last summer thinking it would be chill. One of our 8 year old girls wrote "the chamber of secrets has been opened" on the bathroom wall using a mix of red paint from the art room and blood from the scabs on her skinned knees that she'd been picking at...

Lifeguard at a public pool where people regularly drowned. We pulled almost 400 people out in a single summer. Mind you this was one of those walk in pools so there is no reason to drown. Management would test us by throwing a fake plastic baby in the water to see if we noticed or we’d be fired. I regularly had to…

I am crying this is so wrong but so funny thank you.

Nailed it. The author got called out for acting like a privileged asshole and turned to her platform to scream about being persecuted. Cry me a river.

Yah I know someone who tried to claim it was homophobia that people were shaming her and her gf for doing a high risk, cross country vacation.

I had a friend breakup early in pandemic over this. He was such an incredible ass about continuing to date around, go on trips, etc. I tried to have a real but light-hearted conversation about it aaaaand....it was the last time we spoke.

I <3 you

I hope high profile actors taking this stand allows new/lower profile actors to take the same. Unfortunately a lot of novice actors who said no nudity get bullied into it - you don't want to be known for being difficult do you? Because I do worry that from the statement above ("somebody else can do it") or Lena Headey…

Also after care. Even if these encounters were consensual (clearly not) these women received no semblance of aftercare

Ha! I feel you. I gained just enough pandemic pounds that my jeans still fit but they're a definite squeeze, which is a bad feeling. But it literally all went into my lower tummy and like....the back of my hips if that makes sense? I have always had a big booty and my partner has been INTO it but I just want to sit…

Oh man I have loved all my jobs and almost all my coworkers with one notable exception. I worked in a niche field on a team that relied on one another very closely to do our jobs. It was entry level, so our team was 3 recent graduates and 1 woman in her ~40s trying to make a career change into said niche field. She…

I also work for The Man and am chortling about either doing great things or dying 6 months later. But I love my job!
