I heard a term that chilled my blood.

Corrective rape.

This is what can happen to a gay woman in Africa.

When I hear things like this that are so horrifying and unjust, I go to quite a dark place. Very angry and hurt.

Very wanting of vengeance. Very scared for all women in general.

But the way I've been trying to counter these thoughts is by making up and sending a prayer out to the
Universe that is directly linked to this (or any) atrocity.

To this particular act of violence and disgusting and ignorant behavior, I say: May tolerance be abundant.

When I really want to swear and psychically curse someone,

May tolerance be abundant.

Question:

Should other drivers be able to see your brake lights?

Did you say YES? GOOOOOOD.

Do you live on a continent where it snows?

YES?

Clean off your brake lights, dinkus. And clean off the rest of your bloody car while you're at it. You look like a doofus. And it's sloppy. And I think you might be lazy.

Here's what I now say when I get in the car.

I also say it many times through-out the day, kinda like back-up, lest I forget before I drive away.

May all drivers be safe and courteous.

Perhaps by stating this it will have a ripple effect of most pleasant driving experiences.

It can't hoit.
