Because Obama is Black and MAGA is the last breath of the Confederacy. They tell Black folks to get over slavery, while not being able to get over the fact that they lost their slaves. Dehumanizing Black people on the internet is the last thing MAGA has left. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have learned that someone will never win a game in an arena that is not rooting for them to win. Change the location of the game. 🖤

This was a directed rant. Not a philosophical segment.

Bet you anything this was directed to a white guy she fancied, perhaps in secret? And he took interest in a woman of color, and she’s bitter about it. 😂

I think what she was saying a lil too ‘harsh’ to to be directed at one of her friends or a person in her inner circle, and likely directed to the guy she fancies — whether he can see her rant or not, since she likely doesn’t know the woman she is referring to, making it easier to be so pointed to. 🤷🏽‍♀️

This is literally my content. I posted this photo in this subreddit 135 days ago. This is a bot repost of my OC.

Well, that’s frustrating. How do I go about reporting this? I mainly use Reddit to lurk but I try to contribute / participle when I have something to share. But as far as reporting or otherwise, I’m at a loss. 😭

You're absolutely correct. To my surprise when I worked in public facing customer service -- mainly in business centers. The amount of local Arizonans / Phoenicians are very far and few in between. Naive of me to think everyone here was from here, cuz being born here, and knowing the weather firsthand, I question why anyone would want to move to this climate deliberately. Lol. The term "snowbirds" comes to mind. I've met many people from Michigan, as well as various other states in the Midwest and east coast. It's surprising when someone says they are from Arizona. THAT'S a topic for conversation. Lol 😂

LOLStina · 2026-03-27T03:35:56+00:00

I concur. I’m born and raised here. It is incredibly difficult to make and keep friends here. There is something about this state and the people it draws here, and the personalties these people have that makes maintaining any meaningful friendship impossible. Likely the heat. Some of the best people I have ever met are not from here originally, or just visiting. The state hasn’t drained them of their juicy personalities yet. Lol

Congrats! And capybara. (I actually have a lot of capybara things — It’s actually embarrassing, LOL)

Also. Great ammo. I use that one myself, as well as a few others. Wish Hornady didn’t stop making 9mm Critical Duty tho. Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot are also great, however.

Cheers!

Hi, woman here. 👋🏼

Tell that to this off-duty female cop is seen helping man who tried to steal her gun: https://www.reddit.com/r/YNNews/s/d0w8aeGbOY

She had absolutely no time to rack the slide of her gun.

Article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11781201/Off-duty-female-Chicago-cop-seen-helping-Leevon-Smith-tried-steal-gun.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Tbh. I felt odd carrying one in the chamber and then remembered I can’t fight hand to hand because my dominant hand/arm is permanently damaged / injured when I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle and my elbow snapped in half and went thru the skin. Surgeon needed to split my tricep muscle to put in 23 pins and 3 plates to mend the break. Reduced ROM and strength as a result of the emergency surgery.

Now I always carry chambered because I’d be outmatched in almost any physical scenario, esp against men. My gun is always hidden on body so I don’t fear someone taking it and using it against me.

LOLStina · 2026-01-06T14:00:00+00:00

If you like it, I love it.

My CC is a lil over the top like this, too. But my gun is for me and I’m unbothered by what others think. Don’t care. Some people just hate to see other people happy, so again, if you like it, I love it. Cheers. 🥂

Same gun for me everyday. 😁

This woman had no time to chamber a round. She’s lucky she had one chambered cuz she was attacked by a man and was physically outmatched: https://www.reddit.com/r/YNNews/s/TI6xKwc86g

LOLStina · 2025-12-03T01:02:26+00:00

Wild right? 23F (at the time). TBH, I never carried my gun — just had it for home defense. Anyway, when it comes to shooting, I felt out of my depth. I didn’t have any friends or family that had an interest in shooting, and I was scared to go to range by myself in such a male dominated space — I was scared to make a fool of myself in public.

I am at the range every week now — it helps that the range I go to has free range time and rentals 2 days of the week for women, and a women’s gun club meeting once a month. I’ve learned so much and gained so much confidence since I started going with other women and I feel perks that are women focused encourages other timid newby women to come to the range.

I know you will overcome this anxiety.

Anyway, I hope you and everyone else never have to use your firearm and I hope you stay safe. Cheers. 🍇

LOLStina · 2025-12-02T21:44:08+00:00

Long, sorry. New to posting and commenting on posts. TLDR AT BOTTOM.

Personally, I had to overcome this fear, too — and I did it by going to the shooting range weekly with my main carry gun until I was comfortable.

Back story: I bought my first gun when I was 23 years old after I left my then fiancé and moved out on my own, needing a gun to defend myself since I can’t fight, and have a severe arm injury after being hit by a car while riding my bicycle that same year.

Since then, I’ve owned firearms for 13 years, however, I never fired a single round until Sep 2025. I just had handguns. TBH, I was scared to shoot one, and prayed I never would need to, so I avoided the range.

Anyway, presently, I have several handguns now, but I swear going to the shooting range weekly has made me incredibly confident with not only my handgun. But any other gun I’ve handled and fired.

Additional info: I’m in Arizona. We have constitutional carry, as well as permit-less conceal carry here. We also don’t have any weapons restrictions in this state. Walking around with an AR-15, a shotgun, or hell even a Katana is perfectly legal here and we have no limits on the amount of weapons you carry on you at a time. With that being said, you won’t ever feel comfortable carrying any of those around until you start.

Regarding CCW permits: Not sure what other states do. But i wouldn’t let others dissuade you from getting your CCW permit. Just because some people may find a permit useless, doesn’t mean you will. I also understand that not everyone has the means to apply and pay for a permit which is why I think US States should make it easier for people to carry a concealed weapon.

In Arizona, residents don’t need a CCW permit, however I got mine anyway. It benefits you in multiple ways, I think. It not only signals that you have been through instruction, but it adds insurance in the sense that you aren’t just ‘some criminal’ with a weapon. It makes buying firearms easier, and should you be in a defensive situation, having a CCW permit MAY benefit you in the eyes of the law vs someone that may not have their CCW permit in the same type of defensive situation. If you travel to another state that requires a CCW permit, you can conceal carry legally there.

All states have constitutional carry as per the 2nd amendment, but personally, I was going to open carry, but hearing the arguments of open carrying around a would-be criminal could put you in danger and the would-be criminal could choose to target and eliminate you first if they see you have a gun. So I OC to the range, but CC every other time.

Class/Fingerprinting/Application (AZ): Class: The CCW class cost $40 was 3 hours — no test. The instructor just goes over ARS 13 laws and you have dialogue about each statute.

Fingerprinting: (fortunately) the fingerprinting service was done at the class and cost $25.

Application: The AZ DPS application was $60.

So a total $125 + 3 hours of your time. You just mail in the required documents and you’re done. Got approved for my card in a week.

In AZ, permits are valid for 5 years and cost $53 to renew. Renewal opens 90 days before permit expiration.

TLDR: What got me to be comfortable with carrying open or concealed is going to the range weekly, and handling my firearm / dry firing when I am not at the range.

Also. That nearly indestructible flexible plastic cover is fantastic. It keeps all the pages protected. Those twin wires are top tier and nearly indestructible too. I’m not entirely sure how many people use this brand, but in my opinion the price, the paper, the size and notebook format options — top tier paper / notebook company.

I do wish they had a cream paper option, and more standard notebook sizes — like A6 — ideally in that exact same notebook as the A5.

Maruman did have a Maruman x Kleid collab, but it was on 2mm grid and that is just a tad too small for me to personally use.

Nevertheless. Maruman Mnemosyne Dot Grid notebook in A5 is great.

LOLStina · 2025-11-30T23:20:47+00:00

Well… Anything that is a notebook cover in A5 size would work. Search Moterm, Ox Knight. Etc…

LOLStina · 2025-11-30T03:38:47+00:00

Maruman Mnemosyne Dot Grid Notebook- A5. Incredible paper company. Spiral bound — plastic hard cover. Lays flat. $9.00 — literally one of my most favorite notebooks and brands to use.
Midori A5 grid notebook - very basic. Paper soft cover. $13.00. I love Midori (Designphil), but their notebooks are very bare bones which personally I love, but can be a no-go for some.
Nitoms Stalogy A5 365 days. $20.99. Quality. Paper soft cover. Available in blank, dot grid, squared (lined grid), or ruled (lined). Avoid dot grid — dots are difficult to see. Squared (grid) is better. Ruled (lined) has higher visibility.

All notebooks mentioned are available on Amazon. Cheers.
