I have been wondering....why is nursewife still around? She's said some insensitive/racist shit. Did everyone forget?
I just ignore her, but I see that plenty of people still engage her in conversation.
I'm here. I remember she was on the wrong side of history WRT Cedric the lion, then posted the GB "didn't read" gif in response to some serious conversation about race, and then referred to someone as riding the short bus. I went in on her a couple of times and have not forgotten.
ETA: Oh! And before GBCN she has never heard of the confederate flag. So, she's reading and learning and listening here, guys.
Before coming here, I had no idea what GOP meant, knew nothing about the confederate flag, or anything beyond what our media presented regarding any racial issues. It's been a huge learning curve (obviously one I'm still learning). I do plan to keep reading, as I do and need to keep learning more. I hate that I'm ignorant of so many issues as so much is outside of my area.

After the first pun (so, like 2 minutes in) I did the whole ba-dum-che sound. He was like, Don't do that, it makes me feel like my joke didn't really land.

This doesn't excuse the rest of it but nursewife is from Canada so I don't fully fault her for not knowing what GOP meant or the what the confederate flag is.

I applied for a job Tuesday night and got a call Wednesday afternoon for a phone interview, the guy wanted to do it then but I was just finishing my lunch break so we rescheduled to today. I think the phone interview went well, he said that he thinks I'd be a great fit for the position and went over my salary expectations to make sure we weren't wasting each other's time. His range fell within my target so he said he's going to pass my information on to the department manager and I should hopefully hear back early next week in regards to the second round of interviews. I hope this works out, I would love the change.
The most navel-gazing-self-involved-Ayn-Rand-libertarian NASA scientist I an acquainted with just shared luvvie's "9 Things White People Can Do To Fight Racism" on facebook. A guy who I had all but blocked years ago because he believed that everyone has a level playing field and should just hoist themselves up by their boot straps.
