Found out from my doorman yesterday that a couple of transients broke into my apartment building this week, held a maintenance guy at knifepoint & trashed the breakroom — including leaving used tampons on the floor — & that people have been getting mugged out front. Confused, though, because I keep hearing that anyone saying things in NYC are really bad is just perpetuating a myth.

I would love to express my thoughts without people flooding my mentions telling me I am totally worthless as a human.

I am sure you guys have people who you disagree with at at times in your real lives, right? Do you react that way to them? I’m a person in real life too. Not trying to be “soft,” and I’m sure I’m going to be flooded here too again with more mean awful shit. You could say “I disagree,” but instead you choose some version of “Go fuck yourself you dumb bimbo.”

I work hard and I care. Also I am a human. I don’t treat others that way

It is an unfathomable level of horrific to unexpectedly lose two members of your family in the same instant — especially when the cause was routine, normally inconsequential behavior. Years ago, my *own* routine was to fly in a helicopter over the exact same area... ...where the crash occurred, when I had a job as an airborne traffic reporter for Los Angeles county. I did so not only daily, but sometimes multiple times per day, when I was tasked with covering both the morning and evening drives. I did so several times when it was foggy...

Today marks five years since we’ve been a family of five. Now, all of our family photos don’t look like this one — taken long, long before we had any clue my mom would be gone so soon. Now, they have only four people in them (1/4) The thing is, though — in some ways, that’s actually not true. In many ways, there are still five.

See, I don’t even mean that in some kind of spiritual, supernatural “She’s always watching!” sense. I’ve never been able to make myself believe that. Believe me, I’ve tried (2/4)

The people who pretend to be so tolerant and accepting are honestly the biggest bullies I have ever encountered. This is not a talking point, this is my experience. Tonight marks the 4th incident I’ve had where I was unwelcome somewhere because of where I work. I do not mean unwelcome by the establishment. They were very kind, which is why I will not be naming any further details because I do not want retaliation but rather to make a point.

Dude next to me on this plane has been nonstop farting. It reeks; I cannot breathe. By the way, I know it’s him because these farts are also LOUD; he gives zero fucks. It’s illegal for me to vape on here, but THIS is allowed? I demand answers. @FAANews @realDonaldTrump It both sounds and smells like a mouse is dying in his pants

Literally do not understand what motivates people to write mean things to people they see on TV on the Internet. Why? Why take the time to look someone up and try and insult them the worst you can? That brings you joy? I have had my worst insecurities magnified by people who have never met me commenting on my Instagram photos. I’ve been through hell in my life, they don’t know that, nor do they care to know. Who are these people? And why are there so many of them?
