I wouldn’t want to give any money to her but I also wouldn’t be opposed to purchasing HP books from a thrift store that donates funds to charity and then burning them just for the sake of removing just a little bit of her legacy from the world.
I don’t know what face scan as I haven’t flown into the states in a very long time.
In Canada we have a machine at customs that takes your picture when you come into the country. This isn’t optional. I take the opportunity to make the absolute most ridiculous face I can every time and it brings me copious amount of joy. It then prints out a little slip that I give to the customs person at the gate who is usually chatting and doesn’t even look at it. I imagine those slips go somewhere, though I couldn’t really care less where.
This is a bit different than what I think you were asking but when I was a kid my dad would lift me up by my ears as a fun game. He’d essentially hold me by my head and lift.
When I was around 18, I went to play this game with a kid, and then I said what my dad always said before he’d lift me up by my ears: “okay, but you have to hold on to my arms for safety!”
Gotta say I felt a little betrayed when the realization sunk in.
Mom, mamá or viejita (old lady) when I’m feeling brave. Sometimes when I’m feeling extra brave (and playful), I use her childhood nickname that she hates because it’s funny.
I know Carney’s not even close to as bad as Trump but he literally just called for a “Zionist Palestine”
Also, have you ever heard of Doug and Rob Ford?
I think We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (Modest Mouse) and Give Up (Postal Service) would be my top full albums.
Sounds silly but Enema of the State (Blink 182) also causes me to have a strong emotional reaction mostly because of Adam’s Song but it’s also just one of my favourite albums of all time so it brings up lots of emotions, good and bad.
Also you can probably tell what kind of childhood I had given these choices LOL.
Someone just set off a bomb in front of a politicians office in my province. Not confirmed but fairly certain that was a protest.
Pride turned more into a celebration rather than a protest in recent years with the capitalization of it, but due to recent regression I can imagine it going back to more intense protests in some towns at least now.
Depends where you live but most of the time the government does try to keep even controversial protests pretty light with the excuse of keeping people safe, but there’s always more extreme action that people take, it maybe just doesn’t get shown as a “protest” per se.
Is there any chance that the judges can “buy” their survey responses? E.g. if they pay off the people taking the survey? Or is it all totally anonymous?
(I’m not American, just curious)
This is why many people I know have started referring to themselves as members of the “global majority” rather than “minority”.
But also, yeah this is a class war and if the lower classes stopped perpetuating the division that the wealthy/powerful have forced on us, we could all make everything better. Eat the rich.
I will defend my rubber flavoured twizzlers til the day I die. Do they taste like you shouldn’t be eating them? Absolutely. Will I still eat an entire bag of twizzlers at the movie theater every single time? You betcha.
Aw, even though Carney tried so hard to pass bill c-2 for daddy Trump? I wonder what their new excuse for the bullshit “border” bill will be.
That’s quite rude. I’m lucky at my work they just throw the food out and wash the Tupperware.
I’m on vacation and I stepped on a red anthill, and by stepped on I mean I sat on a ledge with my foot hanging over the anthill for about 10 minutes before stepping down onto it.
Stuck my foot in the pool to try to get rid of them only to ruin my only pair of pants and walking shoes I had for 3 days before we could do laundry/get the shoe dry. Also they just do not sell afterbite where I am so I’ve been trying different shitty creams that haven’t done much for the ~15 ant bites I have on my leg.
Also this was a few days after I forgot one of our travelling phones on a bus and it was not recovered.
Also, it was my only pair of pants because I had ruined my other pair of pants when I slipped and fell into a puddle.
I tried to look up the artist (Daniel Hamrick) and the top results are all about the murder of Daniel Hambrick, a black man that was shot by a cop while he was running away. This is America.
Is it illegal for ICE to wear them? What about people experiencing medical symptoms or people with immunodeficiencies? Or was it aimed at protesters trying to protect their identity?
I don’t like that ICE or people pretending to be them wear masks, but this seems like a dangerous precedent.
Can you tell me more about data hoarding? Do you just like download shit off the net and archive it all?
Like 4-5 years of ancestry resources access, or maybe like a short trip to my grandparent’s homeland to do my own research.
Or I can buy like A LOT of thread and cross stitch material. A lot.
Okay, well I’m not sure what language you speak but that’s interesting. I’d be curious to know what your native tongue is.
LGB refers to orientation. In English, the word “sex” does not mean this and I would recommend you do not use it in that context when trying to get your questions across. Orientation refers to the same thing as attraction, and neither of these terms exclusively have to do with sex (neither the act of sex or what gender someone was assigned at birth).
People use these terms and share them so they can find other people like them. At its base, it’s important to know if someone might be attracted to people of the same gender for the sake of finding a partner, but it can also help for finding community and like-minded individuals and people will share it for those, among many other reasons.
People who are trans may choose to share this fact either for community building as mentioned above, or if they’re finding a partner, it might be important for the partner to understand that the person may not have been assigned the same gender at birth than they are currently presenting as.
People share their pronouns so that others know how to refer to them. For example, for some people, it’s very hurtful to be referred to as “she” instead of “he”, so they will tell you that straight up. This doesn’t necessarily have to do with being trans either - a cis woman who dresses masculine and might be perceived as a man might make it a point to tell you her pronouns.
Other people share their pronouns because they believe nobody should assume. If we all share our pronouns immediately, nobody has to make any assumptions.
I’m not sure where you live, so you may approach it differently.
I’ve been donating for probably 15 years to various charities via regular donations to registered charities. I usually check donation websites to ensure that the charities I’ve picked are spending my money in a way I deem appropriate. This will depend on your country but I use charityintelligence.ca in Canada. Registered charities in Canada are great for donations, because you can claim them in your taxes and get back a significant amount of money on your tax refund. For example, I donate about $1000/year this way and including my donations on my taxes usually increases my tax refund by about $600-700, or at the very least it takes my taxes from owing to even. I can feel more comfortable about spending money on a good cause rather than having to pay money in taxes at the end of the year.
Additionally, I donate to more local causes occasionally (like your artist here) and to artists I enjoy. This doesn’t come with any tax refund usually, but sometimes artists will provide perks for it and at the very least I just know I am supporting someone I enjoy to continue creating things I enjoy.
I know you weren’t fully asking about this, but there are also non-monetary ways to donate that are excellent choices if you find yourself in a more difficult financial situation. You can donate your time (volunteer) as little as a couple of hours per month at local nonprofits/charities/whatever you want to support. You can donate blood or plasma. These are all nice ways to meet people and contribute to big changes in your community.
Good luck on your journey if you decide to continue donating! Don’t feel discouraged, even if others aren’t as generous as you, you’re still making a change in someone’s life.
I disagree with the way that the actress is responding - ie. Bewilderment as to why they would even find it to be an issue in the first place (thinking in a historical context, it obviously could be problematic).
However, it seems the actress was coming at it from a respectful point of view in the first place, had done her research, and did not intend to do any of the problematic things associated (eg. Blackface or an “accent”), so the library probably shouldn’t have had an issue with it.
Though I disagree with the library’s decision, I still stand with them that they can cancel whatever they want if they don’t want it shown at their establishment. You can’t force establishments to hold things.
