Didn't make me stop wanting to paint my nails and wear skirts, it just added an extra layer of internalized self loathing and an overall sense that I had no place in society and should just die

I have an iPhone 12 mini and my only complaint is that the folks who create UI or content have zero interest in making sure it all actually looks right on “such a tiny screen”.

Everyone (over maybe 19) who sees it in person likes how small it is because they can use the whole screen with one hand, or fit it in their tiny femme pockets. Some younger people ask how I could watch a movie on it but I have the feeling they only think that way because they’ve never had their own living space as an adult. I have zero interest in craning my neck down at my phone or holding my phone up to my eyes for 2 hours or more when I have a better more comfortable TV and Computer for that purpose.

Minnesota Vikings on Instagram: "We are sickened by the hatred and racial slurs directed toward Alexander Mattison following last night’s game."

A lot of Minnesotans are “friendly racist“. You know, the “He’s not like most black people” kinda racist.

My chosen name when I lived there was not a traditional Christian name and everyone always told me they thought I was black because my partner was a bigger lady and the name “sounded African”.

A lot of the older folks thought Rick Astley was black because of his voice.

Just really weird living there.

So basically you can’t get a pardon for a trumped up life sentence until 5 years after you die?

Something tells me they were thinking about a VERY SPECIFIC demographic when they wrote those laws and they never imagined THIS PARTICULAR VERY SPECIFIC demographic would be held to the same kind of standard.

I assume you were trying to reply to me.

In some parts of christian purity culture, specifically for mormons allegedly, they think it's a big no no to have sex before marriage. They've come up with loopholes to avoid actually having sex but come as close to it as possible. Soaking is when you penetrate someone and just let it sit there with no movement. Allegedly on the BYU college campus, it is popular to go "soaking" while a friend of yours jumps on the bed nearby you to create the sensation of motion, this act is called "jump humping".

Cops letting their personal feelings get in the way

They fucked me over in Minnesota over less than a gram that was in my trunk, and a pipe, also in the trunk, all in a paper bag, completely inaccessible from the inside of the car, tried to charge me with driving under the influence, using their nose as the only proof that I must’ve obviously been smoking a blunt while driving.

That was just after the Floyd protests.

“I know we got rid of polling places and redistricted everything for the eighth year creating longer lines than ever in order to disincentivize civil participation by regular people, but those folks over there handing out bottles of water to people waiting in the sun to exercise their rights is rigging elections!”

That is definitely one of the takes of all time

Thanks for the props. It really struck me as weird, because if I wanted to get that response I'd have walked out in shorts and a sports bra instead of full length pajamas and a T-shirt. At least at that point I would expect people to be audibly confused at the non-binary eldritch horror in the middle of a gain cycle of their diet the poor normie cis-het had to witness at half past 5 in the evening.

Though, I was a goth/ punk/ alt kinda kid, so I'm used to being called a freak at this point in my life.
