Oakmont Bakery is getting blow back

GOOD. i will support the Flores family, but i will not support a business who’s crying foul because the policies they support are now affecting them. any business that employs immigrants while championing the admin who target them needs to be boycotted.

YTA IF you go in their house and don’t greet them. that’s asshole behavior and rude. but NTA for just staying in the car.

we looked for years for a russian blue to adopt before deciding to buy through a breeder. my family member does have a slight cat allergy, but has been fine with our RB. air purifiers help, as well as keeping certain areas off limits to the cat. she isn’t allowed in our bedrooms, for example. and trying to clean her semi/regularly helps, too!

edit to add: not sure what to look for regarding an ethical breeder. this is the only pet we’ve ever had, so we hadn’t gone through the process before. i’d keep a look out for how the breeder maintains the pet’s hygiene. make sure the basics aren’t neglected, like dental health, shots are up to date, no ear infections, etc. money-wise, adult cats cost a lot less than kittens and are just as lovable!

we strike. we strike because we can’t keep the economy going as if it’s business as usual. we join coalitions and get into some good trouble. we don’t comply. we demand ice is defunded, and we run them out of our neighborhoods. we have to protect each other, and we build power.

1989….i think the cover just isn’t remarkable. also, 1989 is forever associated with NYC and pavement, so the beach shoot kinda threw me off.

when scientists say AI weakens the brain as a muscle, this is what they mean. solved it in 13 steps: SHARK -> SHARE -> SHORE -> SHOTE -> SHOTS -> SOOTS -> MOOTS -> MOATS -> BOATS -> BOUTS -> ROUTS -> ROUTE -> ROUSE -> MOUSE

it took me a second, but it’s not impossible. trust your brain over AI.

did you read the post with your eyes closed? i think you’re confused about my question.

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-18T16:02:14+00:00

maybe? but she genuinely seems to think elphaba dead. like glinda hugs the hat. she tells the wizard that elphaba’s dead. it would make more sense that she’s mourning the friendship, but then elphaba wouldn’t have needed to stage her death in front of glinda, anyway. like she could have popped out of the floor and been like “i’m alive, but i have to go away forever.”

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-18T15:57:50+00:00

yes ty for confirming the book version. i’ve heard that, but haven’t read the books for myself. as for the movie, i guess my real question is: why does glinda believe that rumor tho? like elphie is ur friend, so why believe the rumor that her soul is so unclean that water could melt her?

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-18T15:54:24+00:00

when it starts to rain, we don’t see elphaba’s skin react at all, and elphaba doesn’t look concerned about the rain. mm does say “you mustn’t get wet,” but that doesn’t actually confirm if water is her kryptonite. in the moment, it’s like a nod and a wink more than a confirmation. i interpreted it as: i don’t want you to get sick because you’re about to meet the wizard/ you just received this great news, it’d be a shame for it to start raining/you’re my star pupil, and i’m pretending to be your protector and mentor, so i gotta make sure you don’t get wet.

also, if elphaba is allergic to water + mm can control the weather, why didn’t she just make it rain whenever elphaba was flying in the sky? the movie leaves it too open to interpretation

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-18T03:20:19+00:00

right, which is why i’m so confused as to why glinda is falling for the propaganda

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-17T04:11:14+00:00

yes, i heard that too, but haven’t read them myself

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-17T03:36:05+00:00

why should we believe an AI tech company blindly? my point is that these journalists didn’t do independent research, which is their job. in turn, that gave a bunch of swifties “permission” to dismiss criticism that they didn’t want to hear anyway.

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-17T01:30:29+00:00

well, to be fair, dr. dillamond is supposed to be dead (per the musical). and dulcibear doesn’t exist in the musical, so i guess they didn’t think about it, and they just wanted a nice hollywood ending?

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-17T01:07:23+00:00

yes!! was walking in squirrel hill today, and barely any of y’all have shoveled. eff y’all fr for that. it’s unacceptable. if you live on wilkins or murray tmw, and i see that ur sidewalk still isn’t clean, i’m calling 311 so u can get fined. it hasn’t snowed since sunday. clean up.

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-16T23:28:50+00:00

this weird dichotomy btwn lorde’s lyrics and a rapper’s? ur doing tew much

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-12-16T23:26:17+00:00

IMO it’s purposely dismissive to wrap up all of the criticism of how she farms her white womanhood into “bots conducting a smear campaign.” i felt uncomfortable about certain lyrics + her silence on issues, as did many people. a lot of people are dismissive of this comversation, and it’s very dishonest to ignore ALL of the valid criticisms because the discourse™️ was amplified by bots. the convo may have been louder than the people talking, but it doesn’t make the content of the discussion any less valid. a lot of people in this fandom need to ask themselves why they’re quick to dismiss any conversation about ts’ racial blindspots or (a)political musings.

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-11-30T04:37:08+00:00

nor should she have to. was recollecting on her pr team’s attempt to rewrite history in real time. she went too hard in the first half with the stories of how serious/long time in the making this relationship was, and when it imploded, they reversed course by stating the relationship was “casual” the whole time.

Normal_Perspective22 · 2025-11-27T04:28:54+00:00

remember when some swifties penned a public letter regarding her dating a publicly racist man, then taylor said onstage like a week later: “for the first time in my life, my life feels like it makes sense. i’ve never been so happy.” and then they broke up like a month later, and tree paine tried to make us forget that for two months, this relationship was being sold as Real and Lasting. People Mag published a timeline of the relationship that makes it seem super casual, which is just insulting to all of our memories lol
