@amiberger.bsky.social What if we’ve had media training?

TOO SOON TO TELL.

I don't have a daughter, but my brother cut my toe when I was two, and I was 50 before it occurred to me that he didn't do it on purpose and maybe I should forgive him.

We hold the grudges close and our daughter’s former bullies closer.

I still hate a kid named Kaitlyn who bullied my daughter in the second grade until a parent teacher conference was called. Kaitlyn, grrr. My daughter doesn’t remember her. 😂

And then I saw this.

That’s beautiful.

Ten years ago, I got a girl who was relentlessly bullying my kid expelled from their high school. Every piece of incriminating evidence I collected was in silent stealth mode.

I will notice shit like a ninja FOREVER.

Be mean to my daughter once and you get to benefit from my noticing skills. Forever.

Quinn Cummings @quinncy.bsky.social · 2d

Oh, in that family she was always going to college. My other nickname for her is “safety school.”

Real Robert @roberts-rants.bsky.social · 2d

🤣🤣🤣 (I feel a tad guilty for laughing. At least the girl is going to college. But it's still hilarious.)

For a second there, Corn was going to finally answer that problematic email.

Have you seen how big Baby Corn has gotten since this video? He’s doing so well!

Quinn Cummings @quinncy.bsky.social · 2d

I’m not saying I’m petty.

I will note that my nickname for a girl who was mean to my daughter when they were 14 is “78,” which is the acceptance rate of the college she attended.

I have no plans to change this.

@amiberger.bsky.social What if we are Corn?

It smells like real vanilla and it sounds like the mechanic telling you the fix is very cheap.

Quinn Cummings @quinncy.bsky.social · 3d

It’s nice, being perceived.

Bebe Neuwirth (she/her) @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social · 3d

The creators are usually no more excited to be selling than you are to be hearing the pitch.

Lïså Lōvê🪶 @lisalove420.bsky.social · 4d

Point taken.

It's too bad capitalism cannot rest. Not even for a moment.

Counter:

Nearly everyone hates selling their own stuff. Nearly everyone who sells their own stuff- who thinks it’s all they ever say- comes across someone every week who is SHOCKED they have something to sell. If you’re new to her page, she has to tell you. She does not know who isn’t new.

Lïså Lōvê🪶 @lisalove420.bsky.social · 4d

I find it difficult to listen to people, even if what they're saying is true, when they consistently insert "Buy my book" into their content.
And I don't think she's ever made a video that doesn't include a version of "Buy my book."
I need people to stop trying to sell me shit at every turn.

It’s true though.

Their leader stared at the sun during an eclipse to prove rules didn’t apply to him.

Sexual assault is so rarely about the act.

@amyb88(8/8 is my🎂, nothing else)bsky.social 🍄🍄‍🟫 @amyb8888.bsky.social · 4d

I can’t stop thinking about this. Imagine something being WORSE THAN PEDOPHILIA! Feeling sexual desire for children is abhorrent but committing such a heinous act against a child to feel powerful, to feel untouchable by the law, to feel smug and superior is so deeply evil.

Quinn Cummings @quinncy.bsky.social · 4d

Not always.

Some are just capitalists run amok.

Danny Pinion @sirala6.bsky.social · 4d

Ah, I see, it's just like people who go looking for mushrooms in the wild aren't the ones trying to trip on them.

Speaking of her writers, I just realized I read Updike’s Rabbit books in my early twenties and enjoyed them but probably should swing back around now that I am withered.

It’s nice to be reminded how utterly awful Ted Hughes was.
