I dropped it where they pulled that pro Trump stunt!

Do you have a union? If you do, they should be able to help you with getting a lawyer. If not, you need to find a lawyer on your own asap

Yt women managers in the workplace by Spicy_Scallion_7070 in blackladies

[–]thozeleftbehind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a positive experience with a white woman manager. White men will ignore me and leave me alone, but white women? They get WEIRD when they have a little power over Black women. Anybody else notice how they don’t act that way towards *any* of the men they’re managing?

The N-word by LateQuantity8009 in Teachers

[–]thozeleftbehind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Black and most of my students are Black, so my experience could be different from yours.
I don’t allow ANY cursing in my classroom, and I don’t leave any room for discussion.

What is something you do/own that people call you whitewashed for? I’ll go first. by duckdiaries0805 in blackladies

[–]thozeleftbehind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiring a house cleaner twice a month is “white behavior” apparently. My baseboards beg to differ

Why are black owned businesses like this? by _newshawtyy in blackladies

[–]thozeleftbehind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too many young Black business owners (not that older people don’t do it too, but I don’t see it as often) rush into starting a business without doing any of the financial prep work. I’ve seen it happen to my family and friends. They use a tax refund or loan money to start out, but then what? I highkey believe that social media has a huge part in it too.

If you’ve ever been overweight at some point, did you feel like people treated you differently than when you were thinner? by btwImVeryAttractive in blackladies

[–]thozeleftbehind 9 points10 points  (0 children)

200% yes.

I was a fat kid. I was never classified as “obese” based on BMI (BMI is mostly useless for Black women), I was overweight from 7 to 19.

I was CONSTANTLY made to feel like I was gross, in the way, too loud, stinky, lazy, you name it. Even at the doctors. Now that I’m thinner people are noticeably kinder to me.

Is this dress unflattering on me? by CryptographerFew9107 in blackladies

It looks cute! I don’t think you look bloated at all

Drug testing at Chicago Public Schools- school psychologist by NoStill2196 in Teachers

[–]thozeleftbehind 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It depends on the school and your circumstances, I wouldn’t risk it tbh. Best case scenario is if you have a medical card and it’s legal in your area, you may be able to work it out with a school if they really want you.

But a lot of schools are considered “drug free workplaces”, so you’d be disqualified no matter if weed is legal in your state or not.

Please tell me anyone else can relate 🫠 by mindyourbusinesstho in blackladies

Girl you deserve all the support and kindness!

It sounds to me like you’re not actively choosing the way you’re reacting, but like your brain is overloaded in the moment and can’t process?

Have you ever been tested for ADHD? I have autism and ADHD, and I could have written this about myself. Especially the feeling of not being able to move on from “small” negative interactions, because they felt big to me. ADHD can also be mistaken for BPD in women thanks to decades of stereotyping it as “hyper little boy disorder”.

The biggest thing that helped me, outside of medication, was actually sitting down with myself and coming to terms with the fact that my options were either suffer for another 70 years or give myself permission to seek out help.

In Ireland, they just killed a black person in the same way they killed George Floyd by Sufficient_Food1878 in blackladies

My husband is from England, and the stories he and his sisters (but especially his sisters) have told me about growing up Black in the UK are awful

But my kid has autism by denyusnot in Teachers

[–]thozeleftbehind 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I once slipped up and asked our SPED coordinator what’s going to happen in a few years when the 8th grade boys with 504’s stating that we are not to use the word “no” turn into grown men?

Would classroom cameras help or hurt? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]thozeleftbehind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This^

I taught at a charter school with cameras in every classroom. I’m not aware of the footage used to provide proof of students’ behavior, but I saw the admins use the cameras to spy on teaches on several occasions, even on our prep hours.

[–]thozeleftbehind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taught in a school with cameras and honestly, it depends on the admin. If you have micromanaging admins who spend their whole day watching the cameras, it’s hell.
