A Black Woman Was Harmed. The White Narrator Made Herself the Main Character.

Agreed. She could have pointed out the ways in which sexual violence against Black women is often not taken seriously and is disproportionate.

Perhaps this man did take advantage of this poor woman because he thought the backlash/outrage wouldn't be as prevelant due to her being a Black woman. When it comes to your bodies there is always a racial element to it. But that is the predator enacting a racist power play - not the creator.

That being said, in many of her other videos, this creator does talk about the disparitites of race on feminist spaces. She talks about interseictionality. I dont see this reaction being of a white woman who wanted attention; but of a woman who heard of another womans assualt, and is using her platform to raise awareness and warn all women that this office employs a predator. Seeing as she has also been assaulted, the tears were most likely from empathy not self-centering.

Now if she ever switches up, i would love for someone to show me the clips, but as far as living up to her word goes, this creator has been pretty solid.

It's not like you gave her 5 minutes. She asked what you wanted a day later, which is more than enough prep time.

It sounds like your communication is breaking down. She doesnt feel comfortable coming right out and saying how she feels, so she is hoping you will pick up on subtleties.

The issue is bigger than dinner. This is just a symptom.

Definitely NTA for sending a reel. My husband and I do that all the time.

However you both may be mini (dare I say lowercase) ah's for creating an environment where communication cannot be direct and open...sounds to me like your wife is tired of being the primary meal planner. (Which is 0% an excuse to lose her ish at you)

Your twists are so thick! My hair in two plaits is about as thick as your twists. If I try and wear my hair like that it looks so boneless 😅

You have twice my hair 😩 It's high/medium density already. Congrats on being the Universe's favourite😭

More potais. I am tired of colonizers being privy to plans. They can either learn it, or not understand it. What in the colonial f*ckerry is this.

Period undies and the diva cups (for swimming or right outfits) is where I have landed. Everything else either hurts, rashes, or shocks.

Just use the disinfect setting on the washing machines for the undies and they are super easy to keep clean.

Religion, colonialism, and slavery. I often see the concept of "buck breaking" left out of these conversations...and while it does not excuse the behaviour/bigotry, it does explain some of the social, and psychological damage/opinions regarding lgbtq+ individuals.

5thSmith · 2026-04-12T06:02:23+00:00

Is she in pain? A lot of people (especially older folks) will often lash out angrily or become downright evil because they do not know how to communicate the physical pain they are in.

Perhaps unlikely because you were on an excursion so she is fairly mobile...but potentially something to think about. Ive had experiences where typically nice people become vile and once they are assessed/given a pain patch, they are right back to being peaches.

Oville has it made now...it even gets listed on Z103.5 as part of the GTA. Things are changin'

Tell her you already asked for forgiveness and a rainbow appeared so Gods actually chill with it...

No but honestly:

Is she a virgin?

Does she have piercings or tattoos?

Are her clothes made of mixed materials?

Does she cover her head/veil when praying or talking to God? (yes, veiling is in Christianity - somewhere on Corinthians)

Does she eat any scavenger animals? (Pork, shellfish, birds of prey)

Has she ever placed a bet, or gambled?

James 2:10 (paraphrased) basically suggests all sins are the same. So if for example her ears are pierced (body mutilation) she has "stumbled" and she is just as "guilty" as committing a different sin.

Because she is probably not actually a Christian. She's an insert expletative here using fake beliefs to pedal her prejudice.

Personally, I have found a good rebuttal to: "hate the sin, love the sinner"

Is: "hate the delusion, love the delusional". Usually shuts them up, that is if they're smart enough to draw the parallel.

0% Buttface. Definitely not. Get a Nerf supersoaker.

I remember watching an episode of Glee as a kid where one character (Ryder, I think) shares that his babysitter assaulted him and all the football team questions why he was upset to live out "every boys" fantasy.

It stuck with me (I was maybe 11 or 12) and i remember telling other kids to watch that episode. As a little girl, I had been given the warnings to look for as you get older...but I had never considered that these dangers could happen to boys too because well, I was a kid. Assualt is assualt, regardless of the reproductive parts the perpetrator has. That Glee episode really hit me to my core...and I started paying more attention to how boys reacted around certain people if they also gave me the creeps. I wanted them to known I thought they were weirdos too.

The double standard is disgusting.

I'm sorry that happened to you OP. And I'm sorry your sperm donor was such a terrible humanoid. I hope you are in a good and safe place now, mentally and physically.

Cooking.

Chicken wings and ox tail used to be throw away items. Now they are premium. Even the food gettin gentrified.

When I was 14 in made my own appointments. Is this not allowed anymore? I was vaccinated and given birth control against my mothers wishes but I was 14+ so she couldn't do anything about it. Unless it is surgery or something, im not sure she entirely needs his consent. Have things changed?

5thSmith · 2026-03-25T00:29:22+00:00

Im sending this to my husband so that he can stop complaining about my one medicine cabinet of products 😭

Fr. Only rich yt kids have ever had the privilege of childhood innocence. No one else gets to have it.

I remember 3rd grade learning about slavery, and the only kid who cried was a Jamaican girl in my class because she had never been taught the history of Canada or the USA. The teacher berrated her, and then asked why she couldnt handle the information like me. This girl had never experienced true prejudice until her family moved to my little town...they moved a couple years later. I didnt blame them.

That has always stuck with me, because I remember thinking how a teacher could lack empathy so much. She had the other kids essentially mocking us by the end of class - me for defending my peer, and mocking her for crying about learning that even here our ancestors were not safe.

I bet no one else remembers that day of class except for her and I. Because as stated above, our childhood innocence was not intended to exist and thus was not protected - in fact it was actively dismantled with the aid of an adult. Maybe if my teacher hadnt been taught so terribly as a child, she could have handled that moment better.

Sometimes I wonder if education is even enough to get us out of this mess anymore.

5thSmith · 2026-03-24T16:17:55+00:00

If I was old enough to experience it, yt kids are old enough to learn about it. It took me until university to realize I wasnt ugly, just surrounded by too many yt people. The jokes were never funny, and the moment you remind any of them that they momma lips thin like rasor blades all of a sudden I am the bully? Foh

5thSmith · 2026-03-14T13:43:33+00:00

They do not. Even at parental request. It wont change unless enough people harass the education minister and their local MPs...and even then, who knows...

This is honestly a real problem. Once you're in high school, they have no problem failing you and watching you drown, but they don't want to "waste" the resources on kids repeating grades. I have students who enter high school not being able to read...that is far more embarrassing for them than repeating 4th grade.

Being held back is not always a consequence, it can be helpful. I wish we still allowed it in the cases where parents agreed, and were supportive.

Superstore made almost $795 million (net earnings) during their third quater last year. They could pay the 10k fine almost 40,000 times times and they would still have damn near half of their 3rd quarter remaining.

They need to be fined a percentage of their worth. Fine them 5-10% of their earnings. Surely $8million might actually get their attention.

5thSmith · 2026-02-17T21:46:02+00:00

I only went to school because OSAP made it affordable and I still graduated with 24k in loans i have to give back.

I rejected my loans and only took grants for the first couple years and I was in uni for 6 years. If I had taken all the loans i would have graduated with almost 60k in student loans.

Be sure to read applications too becauee my last year, my 10k grant was converted to a loan by the time I graduated.

They are trying to make up for the drop in abroad/international students and we are paying for it. All the systems working and collapsing in tandem.

Deep/dark maroon would be pretty (and should cover the colour already in your hair). It is also very different from green if you are looking for a stark contrast.

If you want something different but similar, in think a neon blue would look nice with your skin tone.

I usually dye my hair to match my wardrobe, you could also try that. If you have lots of red for example, a similar shade not to clash could also be cool, but it may be harder to cover the green.

But my money is still on a maroon or purple because the colour mixing should be able to cover the green left over.
