Mi sento in una simulazione vedendo queste cose
Only mayo. Simple. My family says it's disgusting, but I've liked a lot since I was a child. I eat like 2 a day of these. The plate's a bit too small today though.
Ma porca puttana che Dio apra il cielo perché io questo glielo mando. Non avevo mai avuto così tanta voglia di strangolare una persona. Festa in città e show di fuochi d'artificio tardi in spiaggia, piano carino con mia mamma. Si fa tutti gli anni e per educazione sanno tutti quanti che si sta SEDUTI CAZZO! SEDUTI SEMPRE! Perche così si vedono bene! Ma ovviamente doveva arrivare quest'animale alto quanto un grattacielo a mettersi in piedi proprio di fronte a me e mia mamma.
Nessuno si è goduto sto show per colpa sua, tutto quanti gli hanno urlato "SIEDITI COGLIONE!" A un certo punto gli stavo per tirare la scarpa in testa dalla rabbia, Dio veramente la odio questa persona. Mi sono avvicinata a lui e le ho chiesto "Si può sedere? Ci sono bambini che non vedono" con gentilezza perché okay la voglia di tirargli la scarpa ce l'ho ma almeno un pizzico di educazione mi resta. Risposta "fatti i fatti tuoi" e poi "torna dalla tua mammina" (per contesto, ho 16 anni ma purtroppo fisicamente ne dimostro molti di meno) Mi sono riseduta rassegnata, soprattutto perché sono alta 1 e 50 e la situazione non aiuta, ma anche perché con questa gente non si può manco parlare. A fianco aveva la moglie che sì che era seduta e chiedeva scusa a nome suo.
Tanta gente l'ha mandato a fanculo e un bambino a caso gli ha tirato la sabbia alla fine di tutto, almeno quel momento l'ho goduto. Pezzo di merda, capirei magari se fosse basso o un bambino che non vede bene, ma porca troia si poteva stare seduto perfettamente. L'egoismo e l'assenza di empatia personificati. Ancora ci penso alle 4 del mattino. Mi ha rovinato la serata. Povera moglie.
Lost a dear friend to suicide a few days ago and was losing motivation to continue my fic. It just hit 75k hits and I was questioning if I should give up or not, checked my notifs from months ago and found this comment I hadn't read before. Checked if it's a bot and everything. It's not. I didn't expect it at all but it definitely helped me make my mind. I'll be continuing my work thanks to this person 🥹
So, I (16F) have known I like both girls and boys, with a strong preference for girls, since early primary school. I was raised isolated as an evangelical christian and only got to put a label on it two years ago, when I left the church and got more internet access. I was taught religion through fear in a homophobic environment, was outed and threatened with conversion therapy which caused me trauma etc... so after getting out I decided to enroll on a free (actual) therapy program for teens in a youth center.
After four long months on a waiting list they assigned me with a therapist who was supposedly queer friendly, so I felt comfortable coming out. It was weird anyway. I told her about everything, preference for girls included. I've only ever had crushes on two guys, and on about five girls.
When I told her that, she started saying I was probably only "pretending" with the guys because of my strong preference,, and that I was subconsciously "scared" of identifying as lesbian out of fear of being "even more discriminated." She said my "base orientation" was actually not bisexuality but homosexuality. She was also really odd about trans people. I told her one of my male crushes had been a trans boy (true) and she said that "it supported her opinion" because since he was born a girl my brain supposedly realized through smell and biochemicals that "he was actually female," and so that he was part of my "female preference" (????)
I was really weirded out, fast forward to two other sessions and she's been really insisting on my personal label. I've clarified I don't feel comfortable identifying as lesbian because, even if little, I have liked boys, but she keeps saying I should "accept the true inclination I have towards homosexuality" and insisting that "I only ever liked one boy," so pretty much refusing to respect my ex crush's gender identity too.
I am conflicted. This is the only adult I've come out to on my own accord. When it comes to other subjects like religious trauma, family trauma and helping me with my parents' divorce, she has actually been helpful. However, this doesn't feel entirely queer friendly. Requesting another therapist means being on a waiting list for months once again. Should I do it anyway?
Hi. My parents are divorced, so my mom (46F) has now been dating this guy (50M) for about 6 months. She introduced me (16F) to him two weeks ago, and I've now gone out with them twice. The problem is they baby talk in a horribly embarrassing way, like loudly speaking like a toddler to each other in public (and often in front of me.)
The baby talk was already embarrassing before I met him because she called and texted him all day, and frankly behaved like a middle school girl with her first crush. While on the phone, she called him "my little baby boy", "my lovey dovey love" (I wish I was joking) or something along those lines, and always spoke in a typical toddler-like voice.
Anyway, I thought they wouldn't be like that in public, but they are. We went out for ice cream the first time and this was genuinely her with him while they were in front of me. He even spoon fed her ice cream and said "here you go, my baby" multiple times with the annoying baby voice again while I talked. I have no problem with my mom dating at all, and I don't have any problems with the guy as a person either, but I genuinely can't bear the embarrassment because I just don't want to see that. There's nothing wrong with being cringe and silly with your partner to show affection, but like this? In front of someone? They were like this the second time too, and I genuinely felt disgusted.
Today, she asked me if I wanted to go out for ice cream with them again and I declined. She asked why and I was honest. I told her I found the way they talked embarrassing and that I wasn't willing to go out with them if they behaved that way. She was upset, told me I shouldn't be an asshole and refuse to go out because of "a small thing like that." She said I wouldn't understand since I've never dated anybody. AITAH?
I'd say it was accurate
How do I tell him he doesn't see like... Ever lmao (I wish I could)
Non so che stracazzo di problemi abbiano i muratori che hanno fatto questa parete a casa mia qualche anno fa, ma ho creato una specie di crepa/mezzo buco a colpi craniali che davvero non posso neanche spiegare per bene.
Ho il letto vicino alla parete, praticamente dietro la mia testa. Vale a dire prima però che questa parete in specifico non è della struttura originale, ma è una che hanno fatto mettere i miei genitori per separare due stanze, e allora non è granché e sembra praticamente di quei muri di carta nelle case degli americani.
Non so perché lo faccia e non me lo chiedere, ne sono stufa anch'io, ma dormo troppo vicino a questa parete. Il vero problema? Quando mi sveglio sbatto sempre la testa in modo proprio aggressivo, facendo anche sbattere il letto contro il muro. Va avanti da tipo 3 anni, sbatto sempre soprattutto quando faccio sogni di merda e mi sveglio di colpo, ma oggi proprio ho esagerato. Non stavo dormendo ma ascoltando la musica, allora muovo la testa al ritmo, mi alzo mezzo centimetro e poi mi provo a sdraiare di nuovo, però ho calcolato lo spazio male...e BOOM, sfondo il muro. Ho sbattuto così forte che mi è venuto da piangere, mi stava venendo un po' da svenire e mi si sta formando un livido nel cranio che è tridimensionale alle 5 del mattino. Sembra che ho dato un pugno alla parete ma col cranio. Ho un mal di testa assurdo. Forse ho qualche commozione, non lo so, ma so decisamente che i miei genitori domani sfondano me così come io ho fatto con la parete.
Almeno ho il livido come prova.
There was a drug bust in this fic, a laundromat full of cocaine... Apparently it did happen lol
Hi. This summer my parents signed me up at an online English course to practice speaking (it's not my first language), where you're assigned a native tutor who talks to you about an hour a week, becoming your speaking buddy.
I've met my tutor 4 times the last month, and he's technically not supposed to contact me outside of the lessons, but he suggested it to practice writing over text. I was wary but I accepted. It helped at first, he just talked about random stuff like movies, writing etc (I told him my passion is writing and that I write poems), but overtime he's started to act creepy, almost like he's flirting with me and I'm worried.
He's asked me questions that feel inappropriate, when I told him they were weird because of our age gap he dismissed it as "random things", also saying he's a big romantic (?), and overall acting flirty. He's from NY and also very insistent about me meeting him someday (never going to happen obviously...), to the point he describes what he would like to do with me if he met me, like taking me out and stuff.
My gut is telling me this is weird as hell. It feels like he's testing the waters to groom me but idk, he's always been kinda nosy and overly kind. I'm generally very wary of older men because I was sexually harassed by a teacher my first year of high school back when I was 14 (from verbal flirting to caressing and touching my back, waist, face and even my butt once. This went on for a whole year and I was not helped when I tried to report him, but told it was just fatherly affection etc)
I'm now 16 and very alert to anything an older man says to me, which makes me doubt my gut. I don't know what to do or think... (also completely unrelated but he texts horribly for an English teacher)
Non avete idea della vergogna che comporti andare dal medico e sentire tuo padre dirgli "Sei un dottore molto bravo nonostante la tua pelle!" solo perché era nero.
Mio padre non può vedere un immigrato passargli a fianco perché gli fa schifo, ironico visto che lo è anche lui. L'unica differenza? Lui è un immigrato con la pelle bianca. La mia famiglia è venezuelana, qui in Italia da 4 anni.
I miei sono divorziati, per cui lui la cittadinanza non ce l'ha proprio e non la può prendere da mia mamma, che ce l'ha perché mio nonno era italiano e uno di quei europei che nel dopoguerra andò nell'America Latina, in quel momento ricca.
Di conseguenza io nonostante sia arrivata in Italia a 12 anni e non parlassi italiano in quel momento, ho sempre avuto la cittadinanza italiana perché mia mamma è legalmente italiana. Anche papà ha origini etniche europee, ed è per questo quindi che abbiamo la pelle bianca in famiglia.
Lui pensa proprio che ciò gli dia il diritto di denigrare le persone nere o di altre etinie costantemente, e sinceramente non ne posso più. Ho 16 anni e ho dovuto chiedere scusa a questo medico IO per un commento che ha fatto mio padre che ne ha 56.
Se vede una persona di colore per strada, una persona dell'India con una pelle più scura o di un altra etnia ci forza a cambiare strada perché dice che gli fa schifo conviverci. Io provo a ricordargli mille volte che legalmente lui è TALE E QUALE a queste persone, uno straniero immigrato, che se avesse soltanto un po' più di melanina sarebbe chi odia, ma non riesco a ficchiarglielo in testa a prescindere.
Denigra i neri di fronte a loro, li tratta come se fossero tutti criminali, se succede un crimine subito dice "sicuro è stato un immigrato", nega mangiare cibi stranieri perché dice che potrebbero essere generalmente avvelenati o tossici, mi dice che odierebbe che stessi in una relazione con una persona nera e che è assolutamente vietato. Quando si trova di fronte a una persona nera che effettivamente è una brava persona fa commenti tali "È nero/immigrato PERÒ è simpatico, PERÒ è una brava persona."
Ho amiche nere e non le faccio venire a casa sua a mangiare o a starci in generale perché sarebbe praticamente farle bullizzare. Davvero non ne posso più. Gli voglio bene ma mi viene da piangere a pensarci. È proprio come se gli mancassi umanità e empatia. Mi vergogno di essere sua figlia quando fa così. Mi vergogno troppo.
Se c'è una cosa che ho imparato da donna indossando pantaloncini e gonne, è che in questa vita NON si può essere al cento per cento belle e pratiche allo stesso tempo.
Non mi ci entra NIENTE nelle tasche ripeto NIENTE. Non so qual è il problema dei designer dei vestiti da donna, ma le tasche sono a questo punto una decorazione. Ogni volta che esco con i miei amici maschi o qualsiasi altro maschio devo dire a loro di tenermi il telefono dentro le tasche perché mi ci entrano AL MASSIMO le chiavi e già sento che ho 3 chili in ogni gamba.
È incredibile quanto grandi siano le tasche dei pantaloncini per gli uomini paragonati a quelli femminili. A mio fratello entrano 1. Chiavi, 2. Telefono (non solo il suo, ma anche il mio), 3. Portafoglio. Sono uno stadio, un cazzo di oceano paragonati con le mie tasche inutili. Ci si annega lì dentro. A me invece il telefono fuoriesce a metà se provo a metterlo nella tasca.
L'unico momento in cui sono stata felice a riguardo è quando ho comprato un pantaloncino nella sezione bambini maschi. Ero comoda e mi potevo portare la roba... Cioè pantaloncini sezioni bambini taglia 14-15 hanno tasche più grandi della sezione femminile???? Ma com'è possibile? Poi le gonne... Le gonne il 90% del tempo NEANCHE ce l'hanno e io non uso borse perché non mi piacciono, ehhhh allora se uso gonne come cazzo mi porto la roba? Non posso. Non ne posso più davvero. Devo avere SEMPRE qualsiasi cosa in mano perché le tasche sono troppo piccole la maggior parte del tempo. Soltanto qualche pantalone è un eccezione. Magari sono io che compro i vestiti sbagliati, e lo so che è davvero una cosa stupida, però giuro vorrei soltanto non avere qualcosa in mano mentre cammino ogni tanto
Hi. My family is Venezuelan, but my parents, my brother (M18) and I (F16) have been living in another country for almost a decade. I was born and raised there until I was seven, so while I do have plenty of childhood memories in my homecountry, I mostly grew up outside of it.
On June 24th there were two really strong earthquakes that ended up being catastrophic for the population. My mom and dad are divorced (I live with my mom and visit dad on the weekends.) My mom's family was okay and didn't lose their homes, but my dad's wasn't that fortunate. My uncle, aunt and 3 cousins from his side of the family lost their home and belongings, we're doing everything we can to send them money so they can find another place to stay at the moment. There are a lot of people trapped under rubble and many deaths already.
My mother (F46) is an evangelical christian. She's really, like seriously religious, cult-ish type of religious with her church, and I snapped at her at lunch today because of one of her comments. My brother and I were both raised evangelical, attended church every Sunday even before we learnt how to speak, went to private Christian school and everything, but at the end of the day we turned out to be atheists, something she's greatly dissapointed of. We stopped attending church 2 years ago after basically pleading she let us do what we wanted, because she was forcing us to get baptized.
Anyway, while we were having lunch she said "I thank God of these catatrophies because they're allowing people to be saved and get closer to him." Usually I don't argue with her about these things, it's pretty pointless, but I'm just not okay with it right now: my family lost their home and there are people that are going to die because we don't have a goverment that actually cares about rescuing its people. So, I lashed out, said how dare she say something like that when there's literal helpless babies that are trapped under rubble, or when there's people slowly dying without any help available. I called her selfish (more than once), said that she was only saying this because she was in a priviledged position, and that if this is what it took God to bring people closer to him then he wasn't a good God.
She was furious and sent me to my room. I didn't even get to finish eating. I'm supposed to go to the movies with my friends to watch Supergirl today and she told me I can't go until I apologize and tell her I regret what I said. My brother, on the other hand, said he agrees with me but that lashing out was an overreaction because I should've have thought about how much it hurts her when we question her beliefs. AIO?
This photo is officially 68 years old today. It was taken 15 years before my mother was born, and 52 years before I was.
My grandfather was an Italian immigrant, he lived WW2 as a really young child (ages 2 to 7.) His family managed to save enough money the next decade to send him to Venezuela when he was 17, in 1954, so he could have a better life. The voyage was terrible and he almost died, but he made it. He founded an Italian restaurant in the little venezuelan town he lived in: my grandmother, whose parents were German and moved along with her to Venezuela when she was 9 months old, was a client of his. They ended up falling in love and building their home on top of the restaurant! They got married four years after my grandfather arrived in Venezuela. My mother, European by blood, ended up being culturally venezuelan, born and raised there. She married a venezuelan man, my father, and I was born many years later, in 2010.
I always look back on these pictures because just like my grandfather, I became an immigrant at a young age. After many years of crisis, I left Venezuela when I was 12. The destination was Italy! My mother always tells me he used to be sad he couldn't raise his family in his homecountry, which he loved very much. He always wanted to take his children and grandchildren there, but he didn't have enough money to do so.
He died before we came back to Italy, but I am proud to say his wish is now granted. I love my homecountry and I always will, but I am also proud I came back to my roots when I needed and was able to meet all the places from his childhood.
He was an Italian immigrant in Venezuela, and I'm a venezuelan immigrant in Italy!
