    I was struggling with my asthma one night while driving. Luckily I had my inhaler in my console, so it was easy to get out at the next red light.
    Immediately after the red light, as I’m using the inhaler, lights go off behind me.
    I didn’t run the light. I didn’t have time to speed. I was perplexed as to what I was being pulled over for.
    Cop stomps over to my window and right away has an attitude.
    He yelled, “What the HELL do you think you’re doing?!”
    I was kinda ticked he was talking to me this way, so without thinking, I held up my inhaler and snapped “having an asthma attack!”
    Cop suddenly deflates. He just says, “oh. Oh!” Shines his light around the inside of my car real quick, then says “uh, have a good night, miss” and sprints back to his car and takes off.
    I was bewildered until I got home and explained the whole thing to my boyfriend.
    He laughed and said “the idiot thought he caught you smoking a pipe and instead he was about to arrest you for having asthma!”

    The freak-out some cops have if they see you have a concealed permit is ridiculous. I got pulled over for speeding and while handing my license to the officer, they saw the permit in my wallet. Cue me on the ground in cuffs with a cop's knee in my back while another one searched my vehicle. At this point, I didn't even own a handgun, I just got the permit to work as an armored car guard.

Mind you, she was a woman wearing pants. I was like 11 looking at her like " I'm sorry, did you forget where you are and what timeframe you're in? Like, babe, the 1970s called, they want their gross stupid mindset back. " Thankfully she isn't like that anymore and has gotten more open minded but that was definitely not her best moment.

    When we first started in this current pandemic, things were fine. My college classes did our tests through Zoom and Respondus Lockdown Browser, and everything was fine. Then we started using something called Honorlock. Now you'd think that a tight time limit, not being able to open any tabs while you test, and watching your students while they take a test would be good enough. Nah! You know what some of my classes decided? Download some third party software that only works on computers and have some complete stranger over at Honorlock HQ watch you instead. Not only watch you, stop your test repeatedly because A. your eyes look suspicious, B. you need to stop reading out the answers out loud, and C. you're moving WAY too much. They record you so that they and your professor can watch you test. Look into them; they use shady tactics, there are many things wrong with the site itself, and there has been multiple data breaches where multiple students got their information leaked.
    My professores gave us an alternative once the pandemic settled down just a little bit; come to campus and risk getting Covid or let strangers watch us in our private homes by using Honorlock to take our tests and quizzes. I have studied the constitution and know almost all of the amendments by heart, because I love government, and if I remember correctly either 4-5 of the amendments literally states that we have a right to privacy with no strings attached. I thought this was America 🌚 Forget about social media! Under a global pandemic, we are being scrutinized and recorded while testing because our teachers are unreasonably paranoid.

    Story 1 In the college during Literature class we talked about short story written by ZZ Packer. It was about Black girl who during Summer camp was called Nigerian (you know the right word) by a White girl with Down syndrome. I quoted the entire word in its full "glory" as I was summarizing the story. One of my classmate asked me NOT to say the word. I refused and continue to use it anyway since it was RELEVANT to the story. I had to remind my class and my teacher that this is America, not Soviet Russia. I ended up with one - on - one conversation with my teacher. She said that one of the classmate had to leave because she felt upset. I said that "I do not care and I refuse to treat grown up college student like fragile children' "

      As long as they don’t violate those anti-discrimination laws or health code laws, it’s free game.
