flying as a hijabi (alone this time) and the guy next to me is talking really loudly about bin laden and killing terrorists and making deliberate eye contact with me the entire time
why are ppl like this???
and it’s only because i’m alone - having a 6’4” bulky built husband usually makes people swallow whatever nasty comments they may have
jokes on him because a flight attendant overheard him and upgraded my seat
go stew in your anger in economy, peasant
flight attendant came and slipped me this, bless her soul
alhamdulillah safely home and very appreciative of the kind flight crew who looked after me
but i do want to take a moment to remind everyone that people with the intention to do evil or make their hate known almost always go after those who are perceived as vulnerable. it’s no surprise to me that things like this happen almost exclusively when i am alone and an easier target. hijabis especially, being so visible. to my hijabi girlies, remember to stay aware of your surroundings and practice safe travel habits. to my friends on here, it pays to be vigilant as well and to help watch the backs of those around you if you’re able
this stuff happens a lot more often than you’d think, unfortunately, and the most we can do is to try and be as safe as we can and watch out for each other
If you experience someone ranting at a fellow passenger, one great non-confrontative strategy is to act like you know each other from way back when and are having a chance encounter. Like “Ooooh, what a surprise to see you here! How are you doing??” This will also allow you to brush past the aggressor.
yes!!! this!!!
someone has done this for me before and it really does work! de-escalation is always safest for both you and those around you if it’s manageable and this is one of the best ways to do it!
“Poor Boromir! I could not see what happened to him. It was a trial for such a man: a warrior, and a lord of men. Galadriel told me that he was in peril. But he escaped in the end. I am glad. It was not in vain that the young hobbits came with us, if only for Boromir’s sake.”
Boromir is so protective of the hobbits. He likely has read of them before meeting them. But his instincts are: ‘Must save’.
google every time: can i PLEASE have your location PLEASE 🥺🥺🥺 Ineed to know where you live so BAD 😫😫😫😫 Where do you fucking from?????? 😩😩😩😩😩😩
And once you click no, it never remembers, but it remembers the odd plastic cup you accidentally clicked on 2 months ago and tries to tell you where you can buy a plastic cup as well as 17 other kinds of cups.
AKA Stevie_Foxx on AO3 and Dwarf Telenovela Central. Cranky, middle-aged, eclectic feminist woman with the manners of British great aunts and a mouth like an ill-brought up sailor. I re-blog things I intend to use/try/stare at as they make me happy. Some of these may be NSFW/adult, so you have been warned. As it’s happening more now, there are blogs run by under 17s. Sorry, but if I find you’re under 21, I will block you. I'm happy to chatter and, while I'm thinking of it, if you run a porny blog, please drop me a note and let me know you're actually interested in the recipes, fan stuff, etc. that I post. I used to just block but I've been getting so many, lately, I'm going to report them as bots. If you’re a nazi, terf, or don’t support BLM then fuck off my blog, I don’t tolerate assholery. Also I reblog a lot of LotR and Hobbit stuff . I utterly 'ship' Ori and Dwalin (#dwori, #Orwal). http://archiveofourown.org/users/Stevie_Foxx .
