my 40-50 year old boss recently excitedly told me about how she's discovered avocado toast and I was so happy and also had to work so hard to not bust out laughing
the most visible entities to attempt to reclaim [shithole country] are doing so on behalf those who are being marginalized, rather than stemming full-force from the group whose humanity is at stake
this I think is the crux of the problem. Much like you don't get to forcibly reclaim slurs for other people, if you're not from a place, calling it a shithole has a real different and not-ok vibe. I can see the similarities but I think this is a pretty different thing from people calling themselves "nasty women" etc
on the other hand “nevertheless, she persisted” is dope as hell imo
unrelated but in high school i went on a month-long school trip to japan and my friend who was also on the trip was VERY tall (6ft something) and just towered over everyone and I still remember the one time we were walkin and randomly met a japanese dude who was the same height and they both freaked out over it. it was a wonderful experience that surpassed all language barriers
It helps that she is OBSESSED with this one brand of treats we have! I want to try training the other cats too but I think I'll need something fancier to get them started.
