Dear online dating site.
Thanks for reminding me that there are 9 single lesbians here.
And 586 lesbians in DC.
Feels great.
- Mom: So......people can post things....on my wall?
- Me : ......Yes.
- Mom: Why?
This white, Christian, man just told me WE have no idea what persecution is in America.
I guess I missed that part where being gay, black, and a woman never ever led to persecution in this country.
MY MISTAKE.
Roommate.
Storm into here like it’s not 4AM in the fucking morning.
I can hear you walking a fucking mile down the hallway.
Stop walking like you’re a fucking basketball player in the NBA and come into the room like you have some goddamn sense.
PS. Pick UP your shit. This is not your room. This is our room. Your shit should not take up 75% of the room. Not when there are three of us in here.
callmepa reblogged your post: Okay. So this happened.
follow, not a request for sex. -___-Hmmm. Yes. I realize.
But…you do realize…I..am..
Okay. I’m just gonna leave this here and go to bed.
Hope you stay around? Uhm. I can’t think of anything. Yeah. Night!
you are a guy. okay….and? I didn’t see anything on the jump that would make me immediately click off the page. Tumblr is a network…this is my way of networking…I.E. in order for you to know im straight you went to my page, heard my music…like a boss might I add….mission es accomplished
PAUSE. EVERY. FUCKING THING.
Look at your first sentence in your last response.
Then read my fucking url.
Then read my actual fucking blog.
Then come talk/follow me.
Sigh.
National Institute of Health.
Look at your life. Look at your choices.
WHY IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS HOLY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?!!?
Which means I’ll officially be in a triple.
Which also means I’ll have to make room for a triple.
God forbid you turn the lid
how about i serve the pie on your damn shirt
Making it a point to put lid on improperly from here on out.
“Pie is served with the point of the slice facing the guest.”
This sounds like something that would happen in the “Southern Belle Etiquette” classes that I took in middle school….
- Me: Is your friend still coming tonight?
- Roommate: Oh no she isn't. Forgot to tell you!
This girl has NO sense of danger.
- Knew that our door didn’t lock/unlock properly. Didn’t tell anyone because she didn’t think it was all that important.
- Told me she was coming back to the room yesterday by eleven. Didn’t come back to the room until 3AM. She didn’t even send me a text to tell me where she was.
- She JUST left the room again for the night and didn’t tell me when she’d be back or even if she was coming back.
I’m sorry if I sound like a parent or whatever.
But what the fuck?! Does she want to get kidnapped?!
Because it wouldn’t be hard. She’s fucking smaller than me.
She doesn’t think DC is “all that dangerous”.
If you won’t educate me, how can I learn?
If you really cared, you would educate me!
You’re being overemotional (in this instance, bitter)!
You’re not being a team player!
You’re hurting your cause by being angry.
Note: I think Derailing for Dummies needs to add a Reverse-Victim card section. “I’m the real victim here.” For instance: “Even though I’ve said/done/asked something insensitive and offensive, I’m the real victim here because the people I’ve offended haven’t responded with sufficient understanding and kindness toward me. They should just be grateful I’m considering supporting them and do whatever they can to keep me around, even if the way I’ve gone about the whole thing has been completely rude and hurtful.”
The sad thing is, OP has a real opportunity here to learn something about a community she’s stated she’s interested in learning more about—namely, how to begin to become an ally/supporter of that community—and instead of listening to their reasons when they say they are hurt by what she’s asked/said, and instead of apologizing and taking a step toward being actually supportive of the community, all she can do is whine because people aren’t being nice to her after she has offended them or insisted that there is nothing wrong with what she’s asked, even though people are obviously hurt.
If you are genuinely interested in learning about another community, and specifically about learning about how to support that community, then you need to be open to the lessons you receive from that community, even if they aren’t necessarily the lessons that you want or ask for.
