I am SO sorry, and I’m glad he’s doing ok. That person is an absolute jerk. You made a simple mistake that most owners have made, and please don’t beat yourself up. The driver bears the responsibility on this, not you.

Well, I’m very late AND grey, so I’m probably shouting into the abyss here, but...

I’m grateful to see the hospital standing by their staff like this. I’m still just flummoxed by this detective’s reaction. I’m by no means naive about police abuse of constitutional rights, but this is something so damned basic. A warrant is ALWAYS necessary if the person can’t consent, or it will be tossed by the…

Lovely soap! I make soap, and you should look into salt bars. Specifically, 100% coconut oil with a very high superfat, like 20%. Google brine bars, you want the instructions from Bunni. I think her last name is Vaughn.

So, is tomorrow the day he’ll autograph our tits, instead of grabbing our pussies? Or is it more of a two for one deal?

Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you on that, and I’m sorry that’s how it came across.

Also likely!

This was written by a man. I have ZERO doubt.

Not necessarily. I used to work in pharma advertising, and the procurement person at one of our clients we had to run all of our print jobs through would let her vendors decide to use standard die cuts instead of customizing one to fit our designs (which literally only added $50 to the multi - thousand dollar…

Omg, I literally just posted a rant on Nextdoor trying to hunt down the asshole who’s been lighting off fireworks for a week and freaking out my dog. That’s the only valid use for that site, honest!

That really is that question, isn’t it? It was either a chaperone with bad judgment, a chaperone who agreed with them, or a chaperone who wanted them to learn a lesson (which is crap, because other people aren’t lessons, damn it).

I was in a public school, but I think it was a popular trip in the 80s. We were the last class from my school to go. I went to college in DC because of it. Fell in love with the place, if not politics.

Thanks for the reminder. It’s been a crazy day just got back to my phone.

When you’re on a school-sponsored trip, you’re generally expected to dress appropriately for where you are visiting. At least, we were when we visited DC. A chaperone should have nipped this in the bud. The girls could have learned something from this, but unless they’re more reflective in private than they seem, they…

Yes, seriously. He’s pretty obviously not a prince among men. I can enjoy his work and still not think he’s a demigod, or even a great guy. He’s not Roman Polanski, from what I’ve heard, but he’s also pretty clearly said some questionable things over the years, and I’m hardly surprised by this, either.

Ok, thanks.

How so? I just wanted to be honest that I know this isn’t necessarily my space, but that these girls have no excuse. I can delete if I’m in the wrong.

They need a civics class, too. No right is absolute; they have an obligation to their fellow citizens of ALL colors and backgrounds; and actions have, you know, consequences.

I said this elsewhere, but school tour groups often do to save time and money feeding a group quickly. These girls were just nasty little things who should have been dealt with before they left the hotel.

White woman born and raised in a mostly white town near Chicago. So, sheltered and ignorant. Aware of my ignorance, biases, and bigotries, though not as a teen.
