My kind of comedy

Funny story about Bill Nye: so a friend of mine back in Ottawa was at the Science and Tech Museum, and she didn’t know it, but apparently Bill Nye was guest appearing there that day. So she is waiting for the elevator and this guy walks up beside her to wait for it, too. She turns and looks at him and immediately recognizes him. Completely forgetting that she’s a grown adult, she points at him and exclaims, “BILL NYE!” He glances at her and gives her this really fucking weird look, and she thinks, Oh fuck, I completely just embarrassed myself in front of Bill Nye and now he probably thinks I’m some creepy stalker or something. So the elevator doors open and he walks in, and she’s just too stunned and mortified to get in behind him; she just stands there, staring. He’s in the elevator, alone, with his back to her.

Just as the doors are closing, he whips around, points at her, and shouts, “SCIENCE!” and then the doors close.

more than that : if you see a girl being harassed, she won’t always have that reflex. So YOU go and tell her : “Hiiii (insert random name here) I didn’t see you ! what are you doing here ? So glad to see you, come sit with me”. I promise you the girl won’t think twice before going with you.

I was with friends in a late night tramway once, everyone was drunk and tired, and there was a girl all alone in the seat facing ours. She minded her own business, finishing the sauce of an empty french fries carton. Two drunk guys show up and sit on each side of her, telling her that she shouldn’t eat that, that she will get fat, that it would be a shame to let such a pretty body go fat, and a various number of disgusting things. So I said “hey Julie, why are you letting those douchebags annoy you, come back, sit with us.” She looked at me and immediately changed sides to sit with us. The guys were surprised, saying “she’s your friend ?!” and I just replied “yes, and you’re annoying her right now.” I stayed with her until she got out of the tramway safe.

When you’re being harassed it’s sometimes very hard to think straight and find a quick way to react, so I encourage everybody to do this if you see another woman being harassed. Pretend you know her, and that she’s your friend. Let her know you’re here to side with her and protect her. Help girls be safe.

Protect all women.

I did this on the bus once to a poor young woman who seemed too nervous to tell a guy to fuck off. I sat across from her and just acted like I hadn’t seen her in months. She was a bit off-guard at first but picked up on it almost immediately, and the guy got huffy and left, and the other woman and I ended up chatting for the rest of the trip.

And then about a month ago, a woman at the store where I work was about to leave but turned around and stayed in the store and hung around as soon as this sort of twitchy, strung-out guy came in and started yelling at me about random shit. She made sure to stay put until he left, and I will forever be grateful.

Idk. I have difficulty with full gallons of milk and orange juice. This could be really great for people with dyspraxia or other disabilities that cause weak motor skills.

Don’t you love it when people see assistive technology like this and then assume it’s just for super lazy people instead of maybe, you know, folks who find everyday tasks difficult or impossible otherwise? There are SO many people for whom this could be really helpful: people with motor issues, vision issues – I mean, fuck, this would be really helpful for children and the elderly, too, because a whole gallon of milk or juice is heavy as fuck for a little kid or for someone with poor muscle tone. But nooooope, let’s just make it into a joke about stereotypes of Americans! hurr hurr!

I would seriously love something like this. I have trouble with big containers and water jugs etc.

I had no idea this thing existed – can someone tell me where to find it? I am forever spilling milk, juice, and water all over the kitchen table because I have trembling hands and poor motor control, as well as weak rotator cuffs and therefore just shitty arm strength in general.

Google says Amazon in Gallon Size and Liter Size

It’s freaking expensive though

Dang, thank you! I think for the time being I will just continue to get someone else to pour things for me on days where I am feeling wobbly XD

Found it here: http://www.techforltc.org/product.aspx?id=3830
Still not cheap, but significantly better than Amazon.
