    Me looking at my family full of conservatives (and borderline fascists) conversing, fully aware that i could’ve been killed if that day i decided to present myself with painted nails:

    White and cis passing, the amount of out of pocket shit I hear when im in a group of white people is mind boggling

      I’m guessing this means that, in your experience, white (or only cis white?) people shit-talk each other behind each others’ backs more than other racial groups do?

    I have. My whole life. But I find it fascinating, usually. Especially since I’ve overall been very lucky to integrate easily.

    I’m lucky I’ve rarely been in a group I found repugnant. Not sure how I’d handle that.

    I sometimes hear the words coming out of my mouth and think, “Damn, if me from 20 years ago could hear me now, they’d think we have nothing in common.”

    Ugh all the time. I’m liberal, well educated, and nerdy. Notice my use of an Oxford comma! I also happen to live in a rural town in Texas. I play pool in a league and let’s just say kindred spirits are few and far between.

      The comma after ‘educated’ is redundant, since its purpose is already met by the word ‘and’.

      Edit: I honestly wasn’t quite sure if I was correct here but was feeling pedantic and now the downvotes tickle me.

        Agreed. The Oxford comma is superfluous in a list of adjectives.
        If you’re listing adjectives that modify a single noun, there is no ambiguous regrouping of those adjectives that can change their meaning. They all still modify the noun. If you are listing nouns, as in the popular “strippers, JFK, and Stalin” meme, then there is room for confusion and the comma helps to clarify.
        Regardless, if the intent is clear, it’s a silly rule to get nitpicky about. Fuck the haters.

    This is exactly why I stopped eating lunch in the staff lunch room. Those people are boring AF and can’t find much to talk about other than work or the gym. I’d rather eat at my desk and read a book.

    My extended family. It’s either (slightly) conservative older uncles and aunts or its my beautiful, successful, married with children, living in their own houses cousins.

    I love them all (and there are many of them). They are good people. But I feel disconnected from their lives. Not only am I one of only two who have moved far, far away from home, but I am also the family black sheep, a little envious and I just don’t share in the highs and lows they all share with one another simply by them all being married and parents and their lives completely orbiting around that.
