American Airline:
Delayed for 6hrs (made you wait), then cancel🤬
“Good ridden 🤷”
* spends 3 hrs to rebook *
Delta/airFrance
Delayed for an hr, missed connection ☹️
“Omg we are so sorry, we rebooked you to the next flight also save your receipt we’ll pay for your food!”
Delta wins 🫠

For everyone jokingly or not jokingly rolling their eyes at Tay… a reminder ~
She’ve managed to
- bend Spotify to her will for the benefit of ALL ARTISTS
- subverted the patriarchal expectations for the empowerment of ALL little girls and grown women everywhere
She is a model for how to wield power. All she does is spread positivity 😄 i don’t understand the hate tbh.
This is not a subtweet ahem 😗

Funny things about painters vs non-painters, we know it as fact that different places around the world have different color overtone and some places are better for plein air painting than others. However I was talking to a non painter friend and she just wouldn’t believe me. She’s well traveled as well and been to all these places I referenced.
I think this is why it’s important to be around people who are passionate about things you love, we literally see things differently. 🥲

I find it utterly baffling that people are so obsessed with how other people live when it has absolutely nothing to do with them and isn’t actually harming anyone 🥸

2024-08-12 04:03:37

Deriving from first principles, what are the real reasons conservative men feel this way?
1. When women had no economic power or social standing apart from marriage and children, they were forced to be with the lowest quality men for survival purposes. Childless cat ladies on the other hand, have full economic agency to decide either way.
2. Isn’t this a free country? Why are they imposing their unfounded belief that herero family should be the center of society?

When people say they can’t do the thing they want to so they won’t - is probably the single most infuriating interaction to me…

"”My mom thought it was cool that if you got a business card that said 'Taylor' you wouldn't know if it was a guy or a girl," she told Rolling Stone in 2009, explaining that they thought an androgynous name could help reduce any potential discrimination in the corporate world. “

Plato be like “told you so😒”
“In a democracy, citizens are free to indulge any appetite and live any kind of life they desire. These appetites begin to grow, and the democratic man begins to reject any principle which restricts his ability to satisfy his desires. He starts to chafe at the lightest touch of authority and ceases to care about any laws that interfere with his freedom…. And so, with the support of the mob, the tyrant comes into power”
