Like this is where Karen energy is needed. You need to be on that “can I speak to your manager” shit. Act like you’ve been double charged for your salad and need a refund.
this is why i keep posting fucking call scripts for shit. take a minute. make someone with too much power and too little will to use it say “ugh alright alright jesus stop calling.”
i didn’t get much besides bad knees & general misanthropy from my decades managing restaurants and bars, but i’m not gonna not weaponize years of abuse against entrenched power. now, mister congressional intern, i want to speak to your manager.
I understand. You don't have to do that if you're uncomfortable! You can use your voice in supportive or non confrontational ways or help elevate the voices of others ❤️ you have unique gifts that you alone can use
That's really awesome of you -- it's so hard to push past that feeling. I am getting it here and there too as I get older, I am becoming averse to confrontation (but then I get mad at some racist all over again)
No! I really don't like it! I find it humiliating and painful! I just know that if I'm not yelling publicly at people who need to be yelled at publicly no one else will be the first to do it
Some of us were raised… to follow rules and “be good” - ie 1/2 the worlds population - everyone who identifies as a woman/girl
I was told long ago by a jerk male prof: “don’t make waves”
Fvck you, prof
I get so mad - at so many things - my teens have to remind to pick my battles
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think when I hit 40, I said: fvck it; tired of being a good girl and following the rules
In an alternate universe I can totally see myself using these innate talents for evil, but fortunately here I have chosen to channel my need for attention and comeuppance for good
I appreciate you especially since you're a neighbor 🥰 so far I feel beyond lucky that Sara Jacobs is my rep because to date, I've only had to call her office to thank her for any statements or votes she's made
Equally important! Those of us in states or localities with good reps need to send those positive messages too because they also get counted and reinforce good decisions!
Oh he is an infuriating ding dong, I've had no patience with him for years. The most shocking thing about him is that he's not a Republican. Good for you!! Keep up the excellent work
Her stance with Rep. Omar regarding Darfur gives her miles of leeway. It could be a lot worse. Issa became wealthy popularizing car alarms, that alone condemns him to hell.
I live in Chicago so I'm mostly lucky but when that fascist sea donkey carpetbagger motherfucker Vallas tried to fearmonger his way into my city IT. WAS. ON.
Cringelib winemoms have money, time, reliable transportation, a gossip network, business-casual clothing, and are typically of an age where they speak directly and no longer use upspeak or vocal fry. They are the best weapon for speaking at statehouse, city council, and school board meetings.
I consider myself ornery and battle tested enough to hold my own and not particularly afraid of confrontation, but I also think there’s a certain high level of felt entitlement and extreme sensitivity to things being amiss (in a good way) that makes wine moms the best at this
My husband calls it “going middle-aged white man” on them, because there’s not a good male Karen equivalent. He works very hard to only do it when absolutely necessary.
