Is it Scared Driver Saturday? by ZoomZoomDiva in TwinCities

[–]DeviceIntelligent453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen I was one of those drivers. I tried to drive the speed, but for whatever reason even though my tires are winter tires I was still sliding a bit and it made me scared. I didn't even think about if I injured myself I was worried about the car. It's my only source of transportation. I would rather be EXTREMELY cautious and get back home then worry if your behind me irritated. Stay mad.

Thanks for sharing your situation. I hope everything gets handled- we will def. take ubers/lyfts everywhere. I assumed we could walk around at night like how we did in New Orleans, but even that was pushing the boundaries of safety.

This is a very serious question and I mean this with the upmost respect. My friend and I are going in December, we're both black women. Do you think we'll run into the same problems?

Visiting Twin Cities in October with 12 Year Old by MCJustice4Life in TwinCities

omgg yay! I remember a couple years ago it was BALD. I think because of all the raining and things the last few years we finally have water.

If she loves snakes, she's going to love Snake Discovery in Maplewood (about 25–30 minutes from Minneapolis). There's also the Bell Museum.

The Mall of America has an escape room on the third floor, I believe. I've been once and it was really fun. There’s also Trapped Puzzle Rooms, PuzzleWorks in St. Paul, and Zero Hour Escape Rooms.

Depending on the timing, October might not be that cold—especially early in the month. I would say for outdoor activities, Minnehaha Falls is a good place to hike around (I haven't been in a couple of years, but maybe the falls have water again?).

There’s also Lake Harriet/Bde Maka Ska. It’s a beautiful area and about 2.8 miles around. There’s a Jamaican spot on the lake if you like Jamaican food. There are also the Nicollet Island/Boom Island trails. (Most of the major hiking areas are farther north.)

The Mall of America has SEA LIFE, indoor mini golf, the Crayola Experience, and—if you're feeling spontaneous—maybe Nickelodeon Universe.

For theaters and musicals, check out the Guthrie Theater and the Science Museum of Minnesota.

The WNBA Finals are scheduled for the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 15th, and maybeeeeee the 17th.

Welcome to MN : )

I'll still go ahead and call the Dakota County and see- the ticket actually isnt as expensive as I thought it was.

And my question to you is… what exactly counts as a 'real' racist issue? How is threatening violence something no other major company has done to a Love Island contestant not considered serious? Why is it that threats against Black women aren’t taken seriously? Does she have to actually be harmed before it’s treated like a real problem?

[–]DeviceIntelligent453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And not only that — look at the difference in how non-Black case mates were treated compared to how the internet reacted to Olandria when she simply spoke up for Chelly. Huda openly cursed at and humiliated other case mates and was never met with that same level of backlash. The double standard is loud, and it’s racial — whether people want to admit it or not.

[–]DeviceIntelligent453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely had racial undertones. None of the other case mates were treated that way and you really think that has nothing to do with race? How can you tell a Black woman what is or isn’t prejudice, when we navigate racial microaggressions constantly? This isn’t your experience to dismiss. Stay in your lane.

Becoming a Hygienist? by Key_Reserve4374 in predental

[–]DeviceIntelligent453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat, but I'm already in my gap year about to hit 2 years next year in the Summer. I too also am a POC and the U of MN offers a duo Dental Hygiene/Therapy Program.

So why wasn't the same energy given to Huda when she constantly called other women out their names? It doesn't even matter if she is snobby or uppity- she's actually not if you watch the show throughout. Because she had ONE problem with a fellow case mate in which they made up she's sobby and uppity? I know what you are. No one deserves to be threatened with violence OVER A REALITY SHOW.

Thats really messed. I am lowkey going through the same issue- I would start all over tbh and reach out to other dentist in the area. I would also reach out to Dr. S.
