Yup. I also think, asking for someone other than her father - it’s probably healthier for her to have people that aren’t her family do this.

As usual, it’s not even the racism (implied or otherwise) that I am offended by here. It’s the utter stupidity.

My heart goes out to the first POC they hire/promote as a result of this. Knowing for a fact that you were hired in part for the optics of being more diverse is objectifying and traumatizing in itself. 

Three weeks.

Especially when the allegedly fake someone appears to have been a sockpuppet used to paint the creator (who has had negative professional consequences from bad allyship) as an ally of women of color. Yes, this is a lot of Twitter drama, but it’s a bit deeper than pretending to have a girlfriend in Canada.

This is me at 1am last night asking the same question. But I will say that someone accused of faking the death of someone employed by a prominent university—a death supposedly caused by the current pandemic and which strongly implicates the university of negligence—is going to be a newsworthy story.  

So this woman looked at Rachel Dolezal and said hold my beer? 

This story reads like it was created through a 2020 bingo generator.

This is for a Senate seat in Kentucky, Ashley - Not in New York or California...Jesus. Your sentence sums it up perfectly: “She supports the Affordable Care Act and wants to get McConnell out of Congress, what more can we ask for?”

So I don’t schedule every minute of my life, but I do use an Erin Condren planner pretty religiously. for me, it’s because I have ADHD, and if I don’t keep meticulous track of when and where i need to be places, then I simply will not be there. And while I can do that on my phone, physically writing it down makes it…

Erin Condren aside, why so dismissive about “the planner community”? For people like me, a single mother with a full time job and several side projects to try to make ends meet, having a written down schedule is completely crucial. And I also use my Passion Planner (check them out as a very good alternative to…

Yep. The experience she’s describing has happened to me every time I have pre-ordered/paid for food at McDonald’s (meaning roughly a couple times a month). They don’t start making your order until you actually show up at the restaurant. That means that if it’s busy or you have a large order, you’re asked to park and…

She chose to run errands in her uniform because she thought it would get her special treatment (Free Meals/First Responders Discount/Move to the front of a line) and her immediate response not getting any of those perks triggers a PTSD type of meltdown? GOOD.

Like she deserved a pat on the back for it, too. Humblebrag. Jesus.

Hell hath no fury like a Karen mildly inconvenienced.

Thank you. This person is unfit for the job if their pressure limit is set to Average Service at a McDonalds.

She’s used to people offering to pay for her stuff and now she has to WAIT for her egg mcmuffin. THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE. /s

Love that she snuck in there that she did the mobile order so other people wouldn’t “pay for her stuff.” You know you’re in a trod-upon profession when people are always offering to pay for your shit. 

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. I work with kids in the family court system, either through abuse/neglect or juvenile delinquency/incorrigability. I want to fight for these kids, the majority of whom are POC. How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?…

You have some work to do. If you think kindness is the limit of what is needed to stop mass death of Black teenagers, you have some work to do. If you think the primary meaning of this essay was that you should apologize for something, or was even about white people, you have some work to do. If you don't understand…
