‘Finding Your Roots’ is wild show.

Henry Louis Gates Jr will clearly and professionally explain how to read DNA test results, then look George R R Martin in the eye and say:

“You know what the brothers still on the street would say? DNA don’t lie.”

“It’s a distraction from the Epstein files!”

Is it? Because it looks an awful lot like the CIA just attempted a false flag operation to justify a declaration of martial law.

Trying to help a middle aged student fix this sentence: “I went to Japan to travel.”

Me: Okay, when people spend money, they expect to get something back. You spent money going to Japan. Why?

Her: You’re the only one that thinks like that. I went to Japan for no purpose.

Watching my four-year-old and two-year-old twins start showing off as soon as four-month-old Cousin Y showed up was beyond precious.

I refuse to feel bad for people on cruise ships. Oh, you’re leaving port late because some passengers aren’t returning on time? Yes, that is very entitled behavior. You were expecting cruise ship passengers to be…what exactly?

Mine was from a book:
“Do everything as if it is what you will be remembered for doing.”
Can you identify singular sentences from your childhood that caused a complex?

I can, notably my ballet teacher saying "don't say you can do something until you can do it perfectly every time"

My little 8 year old brain took that and made it fundamental to my character

Growing up, there was this 4’10” elderly East Asian man one town over who always dressed like an old Hollywood cowboy. He talked in a John Wayne impression and the only Asian family in town was suspiciously quick to say they weren’t related.

Anyway, that’s how I picture Daisuke. #Dimension20
