“…like yesterday when i left a strongly worded note on someone's windshield about their parking (in my defense, they took up two spots at trader joe's during peak hours).”

Just leave a note saying: “great job, Nimrod.”

BAHAHAHAHA. Peter, I like how succinct and to the point you are. And the insult isn’t too bad but does the job of exorcising my anger a bit. Hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh. Take care!

You could say, if you like your note a little longer and more pointed, “great parking job, Nimrod.”

this is such a refreshing take in the proverbial sewer of post election content, thank you for writing this friend ♥️

thank YOU. i may muster what's left of my sanity for an election post-mortem from my perspective but... not yet. the internet is saturated with takes and i don't think i'd add more. this felt like the right angle to hit. and one that i think doesn't get talked about a lot.

Good to see that you’re back and I’m definitely working on not assuming the worse about ppl as well as a black woman it is definitely hard for me. Especially when it’s in regards to men

I love seeing you pop up in my feeds and comments, it's such a fucking privilege. And I feel you, my dear. I can't speak to that specific experience but God, I can understand seeing everyone with suspicion. It feels like poison... and especially when it comes to men, there's something more pernicious at play there that I can't quite put my finger on. 100% valid.

One of the fascinating things about a broken trust is that its palliative lies in, counterintuitively, trusting people more.

I wish you and everyone who is finding it hard to trust others--and I'm including myself--to be able to do it freely, as children do, once again.

Oh, you are so right! it probably was an honest mistake and i need to unclench! seriously, realizing in that moment what i was doing made me “turn the car around”. I was spreading the shit I was trying to protect myself from. Real Karen move! Definitely not perfect and actively fighting the karenification 😝😂 thanks for the comment ☺️
