Had a piss near this fucking gorilla of a man today. Could barely hear my pathetic little stream over his fucking waterfall. Feeling like shit. What do i do, reddit?
me as a 12 year old: yeah, women are just objectively more beautiful. like its just true. women are always more attractive than men, thems the facs. it is nature, god’s will, if you may. i am heterosexual.
Children/teens aren’t allowed to be sad or in a bad mood because they can get yelled at for it and ridiculed and told to ‘change your attitude or I will for you’, while adults who are sad or in a bad mood, are allowed to yell at and take their frustration out on the kids. Adult privilege huh?
What extra sucks about this is that adults literally have more experience, context, perspective, and brain development to help them manage emotions. Adults who do this are shit. We are the adults, we should not be expecting kids who are still developing and learning about the world and trying to figure out their place in it to be the ones who are emotionally mature.
People who treat adulthood like a power trip are honestly shit and should not have authority over kids.
love is real and worth it and SO important to me it’s pretty much my entire political spiritual philosophical deal………you can be critical of how romantic love is commodified and dominated by heteronormative myths for sure but ppl out there like “love is fake” aren’t doing ANYTHING interesting or subversive……love is revolutionary bc the systems that oppress us are directly opposed to all kinds of love, interpersonal love and self love etc. they’re trying to drive it out of us. love as an action love as a choice love as something u cultivate and tend to is the best thing in the world and it’s at the absolute centre of my life
I don’t know if this is weird or not, but I totes read Mulan as a trans woman! I tend to read all “women who pretend to be men” stories as very similar to my experience. In contrast, I’ve never imagined that a character presented to the audience as male was actually a trans woman.
Businesses like StashTwist and iCANN Berkley and collectives like Supernova Women and The Hood Incubator are bringing black people into the weed industry.
StashTwist
A non-profit delivery service founded by Oakland resident Andrea Unsworth. In an interview with Dope Magazine, she passionately advocated for the moral necessity of expanding the workforce with those who know pot best: former inmates. “I want people who are felons working for me,” she said. “Funds specifically need to be appropriated to helping folks who have been convicted, not just for reparations, but to help them write a business plan.”
Magnolia Wellness
This Oakland dispensary’s success is thanks in part to Chief Operating Officer Amber Senter, founder of Leisure Life edibles. Senter was introduced to marijuana’s medicinal effects at 18 (she would be diagnosed with lupus at 33) and began teaching herself how to grow in 2007.
iCANN Berkeley
In May 2016, Sue Taylor was unanimously selected by Berkley city council to recieve a permit to open a dispensary, making the former Catholic school principal and grandmother the first black dispensary owner in the Bay Area city. Once a pot skeptic, she hopes to bring pot’s healing properties to other seniors, pot’s fastest growing demographic. “I want to bring awareness that there are alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs, and to empower people, whatever their age, so they can experience a meaningful, high quality of life,” Taylor told Jezebel.
Supernova Women
StashTwist’s Andrea Unsworth and Amber Senter of Magnolia Wellness are also cofounders of the collective Supernova Women, alongside attorney Tsion “Sunshine” Lencho, and Nina Parks of Mirage Medicinal cooperative and delivery. The seminars and safe space offered by Supernova are fertile ground to help diversify California’s weed boom, and shed light on obstacles marginalized entrepreneurs can face. These issues can range from the unremarkable — white people who don’t want to talk about privilege — to ones specific to the weed industry. “This whole thing of starting on a level playing field is ridiculous,” Unsworth told NPR. “[Nearly] 80 percent of the lock-ups are people of color. You’re locking up all of these people who are trying to be entrepreneurs, but now that it’s legal, you’re allowed to say, Oh, you can come into our industry, but you can’t have a criminal record. You can have a million dollars, but it can’t be from cannabis, it has to be from your 401(k), or investments, or from your daddy. I mean, who are these people? These are not people of color.”
The Hood Incubator
Lanese Martin, Biseat Horning and Ebele Ifedigbo (a Yale MBA) started The Hood Incubator in 2017 with the goal of bringing black people in Oakland and across the country into the marijuana industry. To this end, the group delivers “community organizing, policy advocacy, and economic development” to help underserved communities profit from legal weed. It’s not just black-owned storefronts they’re after, but black leaders at the highest levels. “We envision a model where a pool of minorities can fund growers; manufacturers—whether it’s tinctures, oils or edibles; suppliers; and dispensaries,” Juell Stewart, the Incubator’s director of communications, told The Root. “We want to see a day when we have a group of people who invest in the entire cannabis industry.”
