so when i was a clumsy, awkward, closeted middle schooler i used to say i was “as straight as a ruler” when my sexuality was questioned.
at the end of middle school, i finally came out as bisexual to one of my friends and her response was to pull out one of those bendy rulers (you know the kind i’m talking about) and she started to bend it while smiling giddly and saying “i’ve been carrying around this ruler for two years waiting for you to come out”
and that’s my favorite response i’ve ever received when coming out.
This is so infuriating? Like do you really think war and smart phones cant exist in the same country at the same time without cancellation? Those phones (not even “expensive smartphones”) are probably all the connection they have with family. And that a phone = rich, and that their having a phone erases their status as refugees?
I got a smartphone brand new for $20, it’s not great and pretty far behind compared to the new phones but it was cheap.
My friend in Columbia was able to buy a similar one for about $12.
And also there is the fact that you can actually be middle class or even rich and end up as a refugee!
Let’s say your town floods and you can only grab what you can fit in a single backpack of course you are going to take your damn phone! ESPECIALLY when your entire family is split up cause the evacuation happened out of nowhere and you want to be able to find them again.
Racist white people seem to think cell phones cost $5 million dollars and nobody but tech billionaires and other whites should own them.
Literally everyone knows to have a fully charged phone in an emergency situation, but once non westerners try to have a fully charged phone in a situation, it’s some sort of fucking luxury that should be condemned. Didn’t realize that disaster and upheaval came with a mandatory downgrade for your cell phone.

sorry not sorry to drag apple into this, but are y’all so fucking used to $800-$1100 phones that you literally cant wrap your head around anyone who’s not rich having a smart phone???
Y’all actually believe your phone is worth $800+???
I think ppl can’t wrap their head around war in. 2018
i’ve defended SAFES in the past because t IS one of the few or only women’s shelters where you can get a bed same night and they accept trans women but never again. I had callers tell me they would rather go back to jail than spend the night in SAFES.

I swear this post is blessed or something because I said “I want a reason to go somewhere” while looking at this post and then pretty much just after, my mother asked me to go to the store to get some eggs since I used the last 2
