Sitting outside in 90+ degree weather covered in goosebumps. Wow.

That is so completely jacked.

Shhhhh, tell no one. ;)

Same. But I appreciate the hugs!

Thank you, that’s a really good way of explaining why it was just so awful.

Thank you, and I 100% agree. The flight attendant wasn’t being nasty, by the way. It was honestly his way of making friendly small talk, which somehow made it so much worse.

When it comes to airlines and trying to get home, probably never. The last thing I need is to be labeled a belligerent minority and get pulled aside for questioning just long enough to miss the last flight out.

Thank you for saying that. On the plus side, I use it as example to explain what it’s like to be a brown lady exec to my white guy friends.

My experience with Delta, as a brown lady. Three years ago, flying from a meeting in Detroit to SF, standing in the premier line. Gate agent repeatedly tries to shoo me out of the line a good 10 minutes before boarding was going to start. Mind you he approached none of the other (white, male) passengers in the…

HAH! I missed that. Amazing. Thank you. Again, not an expert, but I agree with you.

That was a classic lawyerly smack down; something they live for. Legal bitchery at it’s best.

Kara — serious shade question: several news outlets are referring to Trump as a “Self-Proclaimed Billionaire,” in fact, if you google the term, Trump news stories are the top result. Shade? Feels like shade to me, but I defer to your expertise.

In this case it should be the Great Wall of GTFO.

Came here for this. Exact match.

Same, but with a daughter. I love divorce in the same way I love throwing up. Sometimes you just need to get that shit outta there.

Thanks for letting me know!

Me too! I had to restrain myself here, this is my perfect kind of forum.

Also, Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay. But if you haven’t read Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle do that first, as there are parallels.

A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Eagan was pretty great.

Beautiful! Thanks for the tip.
