Y’all these white people got me fucked up… I was in a chat room with some other wrasslin’ fans, and they were all locked in on the elections in Canada. Somebody brought up there not being a ‘true’ left-wing party in America and I made the “controversial” (controversial because everybody in the chat at that time was white, except me) statement that the reason why “America” doesn’t have a legitimate left-wing party is because of racism. Y’all, them white folks was HEATED! Heated, I tell you, heated! They then spent the next thirty minutes whitesplaining to me why it was anything BUT racism. One dude said, “the reason we don’t have a strongly organized left is because people in this country are too stupid to blame corporations for fucking you in every facet of your life.” Another dude said, I shit you not, it was because of the “rhetoric.” Americans are more susceptible to divisive language, and that’s the real reason.
I let myself put up with about 30 minutes of that, then went, “y’all got it,” and Homer Simpson’d my ass right back out of that chat. But at least it reminded me that it was a reason why it had been over two years since the last time I let my Black ass wander in there in the first place.
I cackled at that five star review from “Apia’s parents” It was great review and I totally didn’t believe Apia wrote it. Don’t listen to the haters that said she did.
Don’t ever change Apia. We love you.
Thank you! People are ao fast to judge. Just because we were together on vacation in the Netherlands and they left their iPad on the dinning room table over night, and I know the password is my father’s birthday and I just heard our hosts say ” grab the phone of your family member and write a review! It’s all just a coincidence.
I like the new logo! It reminds me a little bit of Tiki Bar TV, which I’m not surprised if you don’t recognize (cue up a Karen “who??”), because it was a million years ago and they were super white, lol.
I’m normally hotel or bust, and AirBnB type arrangements creep me out, but I’ll grudgingly go camping as long as there’s a flush toilet. It’s 2025 for heaven’s sake, I’m not going to do my business in a hole!
I admit I’m sympathetic to the all-woman Blue Origin flight, I grew up watching Gayle King on the local news every night in Connecticut so it was a “hometown person makes good” thing for me, and I was thrilled for her. Also it was so cool to see aerospace engineer and STEM advocate Aisha Bowe, and astronautics researcher and sexual assault survivor Amanda Nguyen, be able to fulfill their dreams of going to space.
I get that a flight that short seems a little silly, but I do believe that it may inspire girls. Sorry for going on so long, but a friend of mine is a dispatcher for an airline and also flies a small plane himself, so his kids fly all the time. This tweet he posted was amazing:
“I took my three kids on a day trip today to and from [Cleveland]. For years I have tried to get my daughter into the flight deck. For years she has said no. Same thing this morning. I asked and again she said no. The flight home she finally said yes. There was one thing different about the flight home. I told my daughter there was a ‘girl pilot’ flying. Her eyes lit up and immediately she wanted to go see the flight deck. The first officer’s presence was all she needed. She just needed to see another girl there.”
I’m not the biggest camping fan. I can do it for a night, but I prefer a real bed, a door and a bathroom.
When we travel with my parents, ( bigger group) the best way to go is renting a house with two bathrooms. It’s also way cheaper this way. The last time, the house I rented in the Netherlands for us was 185 Euro per night ( in a 7 day package) for us all, and it had it all, even a sauna. And I love the privacy, the private entrance is also great with a dog.
Of the only two Pilates instructors who managed to get certificates directly from Joseph ,was a black lady. She was also his understudy and made the workout popular. This was in 1967.
Kathy Stanford Grant.
I was pleasantly surprised that JP wasn’t into the nazi, or racist shit for real, judged by his actions. You never know with the whites, especially at that time.
I would like to dedicate this special award to all the kids with middle names out there. Keep believing, you gonna be called a serial killer, but never give up, no one will buy your tickets to your hustle, don’t stop, others will attempt your hustle, stay on track, cause no matter what, we are meant to go THROUGH THE FIREEEEE and when the time comes, Rod gonna award you a Frisbee and a 2nd official award on the show. I’m making a Tshirt and a frame of the stars on the sky tonight. We must remember this day FOREVER!
We did it Joe! Play THROUGH the Fire one more time, love you guys!
