Thrive to spite them

ita I think this challenge is geared towards people with less awareness of how the bathroom issue effects people.

You have a high level of awareness but not everyone does.

I know that this is an issue, but it's not something I actually think about on a daily basis. I know my work place doesn't have unisex restrooms. But I don't know if the mall (where I've been several times in the past month) has a family restroom or a unisex one. I don't know if the movie theater I frequent has a unisex or family restroom.

Even though intellectually I know this is an issue for people I've never thought "what if I couldn't use this restroom" when I'm out in public.

On another issue:

Oh Canada, you so crazy. First they dump $5 million worth of change on the highway. Then someone else crashes and spills candy over the whole thing. It's like a Simpsons montage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita I think this challenge is geared towards people with less awareness of how the bathroom issue effects people.

That's where I see the conflict, because I think it's a really big step. But maybe just talking about it is progress for the group. It just seemed like preaching to the choir.

OMG! I am so...OMG.

That student harassing my sister?

WAS PART OF A STUDY

How is that fair? I hate all researchers right now. I don't even care. She went through a lot of agita because of that, and it's a fucking study being done by Northern Caribbean University, and also who the fuck has ever heard of them.

I'm so mad right now. So mad. That's fucking cruel.

However, I am also proud of my little sister, because I think she responded ethically perfectly, and was way nicer than she had any need to be, but FUCK.

The research team was unable to find a more suitable way of getting the information required for this study other than to deceive

Just, fuck off and leave my sister alone.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My female friend got thrown out of a bar for using the men's bathroom when the line to the women's was crazy long.

I got thrown out of the same bar for lighting stuff on fire. (Different occasions.)

I haven't had coffee yet. That's all I got.

Sure, but by dumping them on the road?

WTF!!! I don't know how any study like that gets through a research/ethics board.

Would you like me to set their research on fire, ita !?

Oh are you fucking kidding, ita? That is so messed up. I am sputtering in disbelief.

Those were loonies and toonies. They got a big magnet in to get those back.
