in grade 6 and every time we had a movie day or class party id ask my mom for a can of doctor pepper but i had to keep it in my backpack and it always got shaken up and would explode when i opened it bcus we all know dr pepper has much more chaos inside the can than any other soda and anyways my whole class instinctively knew every time that my doctor pepper would explode and we'd have to pause the movie and clean it up and id usually be covered in dr pepper for the rest of the day and be super embarrassed and this happened to me about twelve times throughout the year. you might be wondering why i couldnt keep my dr pepper in my locker until we watched the movie and its because i didnt have a locker in grade six after i left a piece of pumpkin pie that my teacher gave me in there for a month and it rotted and molded so bad and there were maggots everywhere so one day i locked the locker and refused to open it ever again so for a whole year i carried all my stuff around because i was afraid to go to admin and tell them about my maggot pie because someone started a rumor that if the principle figured out you did something bad she would lock you down in the basement storage room that was infamous for having a giant rat that lived inside of it and i was afraid of rats after seeing ratatouille because i thought a rat might climb inside my hair and start controlling me and force me to do things i didnt want to do like make soup
i love not being a teenager but also sometimes people on the internet just say words and i have to look them up on urban dictionary like i’m 90
Not to be a bitter Jew but I’m thinking back to all those years when I was in college far away from my family and couldn’t go home for Rosh Hashanah or Passover because I had class right before and after. Meanwhile people can’t or won’t skip Thanksgiving this year even though there’s a pandemic. Astonishing tbh
My friends and I watched white people gather for Thanksgiving, cases spiked, then the entire Punjabi Sikh community was blamed for the spike when Diwali rolled around.
We didn’t get Vaisakhi or Navratre either and we probably aren’t getting Vaisakhi or New Year’s next year but we’re still staying in and minimizing time at the local gurdware.
This year, Jews stayed home for Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot.
Muslims stayed home for Hajj.
Hindus and Sikhs stayed home for Diwali.
Christians and atheists need to pull their shit together and stay home for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Missing one year won’t kill you!
Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr were during lockdown and muslims stayed at home. Large muslim communities in the north of England were put under lockdown at 9:15pm the night before Eid ad-Adha and muslims stayed at home but yeah sure we can’t ask people to stay at home for Christmas. Hope as many people “concern blog” about people celebrating Christmas being “responsible and socially distancing” the way they did for every other religious festival
love triangles can’t exist without at least 1 lgbt person. cishets just don’t know how shapes work
