I am a biracial woman living in Connecticut with a white husband and I see the way my husband is treated compared to how I’m treated…. The comparison is stark.

I’ve had college professors who have quoted the bell curve. I’ve had older male friends, express racist ideology against Asian people which shocked me. I had an older white male friend gleefully declare that he was a racist and an antisemite. I’ve heard the N-word in work environments. I’ve had coworkers make endless racist jokes.

I’m not sure what state you’re coming from but Connecticut is not a bastion of social progressive behavior, but it is very fiscally progressive, which is great.

Nutmeggers generally respond to this by saying that it’s worse in the south, which is probably true I’ve never lived down south. Essentially what they’re trying to say is shut up it could be a lot worse but I think it could be a lot better and that’s gonna take work and the acknowledgment that there is a problem here.

That’s a down payment for a house 😳 people are crazy

Lol!!!!

Yeah, I picked a couple of just regular glazed donuts from Big Y a couple weeks ago and they were so fluffy. They were amazing but that’s not something I can eat very often they’re so good but they’re terrible for you.

Lol that could be true. I’m not very picky. I do know that the West Coast is super into really boutique hipster food and I think you probably see that more in New Haven or Greenwich, or some of the extremely wealthy areas of Connecticut, maybe not so much in Central Connecticut.

I was born in Los Angeles and raised in Seattle Washington, so I have spent the majority of my life on the West Coast. 🙄

We actually have small donut shops in Connecticut as well and I will say I recently had some donuts from Big Y and they were fucking amazing. There are Polish bakeries that make really good donuts too…so there’s definitely donuts out here

FYI donuts are horrible for you, so it’s not something I can really consume on a regular basis

🤣

Terrifying

lets do the pancake warp again!!!!!!!!

🤣

Latin Americans are colorist AF. The culture is so shallow.

Please don’t insult Halle like that.

Lol

Internalized racism + alcoholism 🤷🏻‍♀️

The “save the sound” ones with the light houses are pretty

That’s cute

This is awesome

Too hilarious

🤣

Chinese restaurants are typically open

🤣

Lmaooooo I’ve totally wondered this before too

Connecticut’s actually really good with this. There are tons of AA meetings all over the place. There’s some great ones in West Hartford, Glastonbury etc…no matter where you are you’ll be able to find a meeting.

Holy Shit what a piece of human garbage
