I'm a white girl. My hairstyle is "long". It's my entire personality.

What they are doing to this young man is grotesque, but I'm not at all surprised the superintendent is being so petty. He's nothing more than an overgrown racist high school bully.

So interesting. I always thought the bakers dozen came from the fact that tue baker would make 13 so they had one for themselves

This is the original meaning of the phrase "the customer is always right". It's been warped by "karen" types into a weapon used against minimum wage workers, but what it's supposed to mean is "the customer is always right in matters of taste". Meaning if a company doesn't want to do something because they think it's dumb but the demographic says "I like that" then the customer is right, and the company should do it. I know the dwarf tag isn't about money, but it's still a matter of listening to the customers on the platform.

Man that's a tough one. I think you're doing the right thing by not calling and I'm going to share an anecdote to explain why.

My coworker was walking home late one night and encountered a homeless man. It was negative degrees outside. He wrestled with the idea of what to do because he didn't want the cops to bother or hurt this guy. He wasn't belligerent or bothering anyone, but my friend was worried about him because it was freezing outside. My friend decided to call 911. He wanted an ambulance to come. Instead the cops came and took the man away in handcuffs. When he was telling me the story at work the next day, he cried. He's a big bearded stereotypical "tough guy" and I'd never personally seen him show emotion like that. He felt so bad, and he regretted calling.

One of those drunks you see might hurt someone, but that's on them for choosing to drive or the bartender for not calling the cops or cutting them off. Where I'm from, part of bartender certification is getting trained on how to take customers keys and when to call a cab and when to call the cops.

A lot of words in this post to say:

I think you're making the right choice.

Xx much love

My mother was the abuser in my home. She abused me and my father. That fact doesn't prevent me from knowing that men are statistically more likely to be the aggressor. I don't know what I'm trying to say with this comment. Life is scary and hard enough. May we all only share and receive kindness.

Xx love you.

I would subscribe and contribute to this community for sure. So often I see amazing things and don't have my phone to capture it, and it would be a cool place to share some of those things, both serious and silly ♡

This is a cool new vocabulary word, thank you. Would you consider the aura some people get before migraines to fit this definition?

Cat.

I used to babysit a little girl who, if she saw someone in a skirt or dress, would run up to them and say, "Hey! Hey! Um. Does your dress spin?" And of course, even strangers knew the only correct response was to perform the most elaborate twirl and make that dress spin. Now, over a decade later, when I'm shopping for dresses, I always give them a test spin to make sure they're wooshy enough.

Thank you for reminding me of that memory this morning, it sparked joy :)

I dont have Twitter or children, but I know some school districts exclusively use Twitter to announce school closings or delays from weather. To play devil's advocate towards myself, parents could just listen to the radio or watch their local news, both of which usually/used to have school closings listed.

I don't have an opinion abt this, I just have friends that are still on Twitter because they follow their kid's schools.

I just learned this the hard way. I just got laid off and rejected the severance check because in order to get it, we had to sign a thing that said we waived our right to ever sue them for anything

I have similar thoughts for a solution- just don't have any sex or gender indicators on ID cards. Have a whole separate medical card that isn't for identification. You keep it in your wallet in case you're ever in an emergency, and doctors will use it to know if they should treat you like an xx or an xy or something else if it so applies. It could have a list on the back where you write any current medications, so a Dr knows what interactions your body might have to any treatments. This would be useful if, for example, you're a female presenting biologically xy Trans person who shows up unconscious in an ambulance. Then the doctor can look at that person's card and say "I will give this person the medical care that an XY person needs" vs saying "this person's ID card says male but they look female, should the treatment be for a man or a woman?"

As a non medical professional I'm sure I am oversimplifying the ordeal and glossing over important points, but it's just something I've thought a lot.
