I was considering giving her a fancy hat rather than the single flower but I haven't put much thought into it yet.

Mine wasn't even chosen for biblical reasons, I was specifically told my name was chosen to mimic the sound of a famous feminist's name, first, middle, and last name. Teachers who read my files always pointed out the similarity but I didn't know it was on purpose until my aunt told me as an adult.

Well. It does stress me out that normal drivers avoid the very rightmost lane because they don't want to deal with cars merging from the freeway entrance (they never accelerate at the right speed!) and then the Jeffery Dahmers of Drivers decide to use that lane as their own personal 100mph lane.

Gas mileage when I was going consistently 79mph on the freeway was 45-48mpg while now it's often between 50-56mpg so it's huge. I save at least one full commute of gas per week now.
Also it's simply less stressful to hang out in the slow lane most of the time.

FOURTH GRADE TEACHER GODDAMN IT

She knows damn well I'll have to take her day and we have a three day weekend anyway! She is not sick.

Like it was slightly related to the topic at hand (about prejudice) but still. go grandma.

Or rather, with the help of random neighborhood boys. He also gifted them with bread because a lot of those boys were from poor families. But he thanked them anonymously in his autobiography bc he was worried they would face retaliation if it came out that they helped a slave learn to read/write.

i feel like when i learned about him in school the history books were like "his master's nice wife taught him to read 😀" when the truth is she taught him some of the alphabet but then stopped when her husband told her not to... so he did 95% of the actual "learning to read" process by himself.

Scammy company: "Please complete a survey about your experience" ......ohoho did I ever.

...I did try to get a quote through my union sponsored insurance and they at first quoted $415/month and then when I went to the payment screen they were like "alright! time for your monthly payment of $760 with an annual total of $9200!!!!" LIKE WHAT???!!!!!

Also, I have finally finally finally listened to TV Commercials and have embraced the arms of Progressive. All hail our queen Flo.
AAA was charging me $530 a month for my car insurance lmfao.
...Progressive is still expensive but $420 (nice) is obviously better than that AND IT COVERED MORE THINGS.

I'm gonna spend the rest of my energy paying off my car loan now lmao. Kinda regret my insistence on getting a New Car but hopefully I won't have to deal with repairing shit on it for a long time.
