Twitter Schools Tomi Lahren After She Calls LGBTQ March ‘Crybaby Fest Of Bulls**t’

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Tomi Lahren gave her haters another reason to hate her this week.

The rightwing political commentator took to social media on Sunday to slam The Resist March, which replaced this year’s Los Angeles Pride Parade on June 11 in response to forces “gathering in government that intend to take away our hard-won basic human rights.

What are they “resisting” exactly? Can any of these groups celebrate their “pride” without bitching about POTUS? They are obsessed! https://t.co/7sAz1HND31

— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) June 11, 2017

You resist. We persist. Keep crying Snowflakes. #GreatAmerica

— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) June 11, 2017

In a video posted to Facebook, Lahren offered her trademark “final thoughts” on The Resist March, calling it a “crock of crap” and railing against participants who she claims turned “what has been a celebratory parade into a crybaby fest of bullshit.”

”Your rights are not threatened — are you kidding me?” Lahren incredulously asked. “In fact it’s President Trump and the Republicans who battle big government to protect your rights, to protect all of our rights.”

She added, “We get it — you’re gay and guess what, we don’t care. President Trump doesn’t care. In fact, President Trump, unlike President Obama, stood up for your rights day one. Obama had to evolve, remember that? Or were you too busy waving your rainbows and screaming your profanities about our President?”

But, as many have pointed out in the last year, Trump and his administration have hardly been allies to the LGBTQ community. From rolling back protections for trans students to neglecting to offer an official White House proclamation for Pride Month ― something President Obama did every June during his presidency ― Trump and his cabinet have yet to prove that they are truly “standing up” for queer rights.

Predictably, Twitter users weren’t too pleased with Lahren’s interpretation of the event and were ready to call her out:

Trump and his crew fighting for gay rights?! Am I in some parallel universe? Alt facts are big w y’all so, I’m assuming so…

Hey, genius, educate yourself for once. From the earliest days of Stonewall, gay pride has ALWAYS been resistance & fighting oppression.

— Etoile Frank (@PHXfrank) June 12, 2017

You must live under a rock if you think people aren’t empowered by these marches, speeches, and activists.

— Kori (@korimargarett) June 11, 2017

Why don’t U go to the ❤️ of a pride parade and ask what the R’s have done for them? If U know so much. Easy to shout from a fox hole.

— Melissa Dyanne (@m_dyanne) June 11, 2017

The old world is dying. A new one is being born. Soon, your hate-filled rhetoric will be but a distant unpleasant memory.

— Eric DeBlackmere (@AstronomerEric) June 11, 2017

If you had any objectivity, you’d acknowledge the clear reason for a #resistmarch. People like DeVos are actively working against LGBTQ.

5 Things To Say In Awkward Situations Instead Of “I’m Sorry”

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

How many times do you find yourself apologizing throughout the day? Do you say “I’m sorry” when it takes you a few hours to respond to an e-mail? When you start to speak at the same time as someone else? When someone else bumps into you?

You might not even realize when you are doing it. I only realized how frequently I was apologizing after I literally kept a tally for each time I said it in the course of one day. I found, much to my horror, that there were sorrys everywhere. My world-record number: fifty-three. Yes, I said “I’m sorry” fifty-three freaking times. In a day. I was shocked and embarrassed by the number, but the silver lining was that I became aware of my excessive apologizing right then and there—and you better believe I did something about it. I encourage you to count sorrys for yourself, because only once you are mindful of how much you are saying it can you finally stop apologizing for things that aren’t deserving of an apology.

I’m sure you’re not surprised to learn that studies have shown women are more likely to say “I’m sorry” than men. The interesting thing about those studies are that men don’t have a problem apologizing, they just have a higher threshold for the stuff they deem worthy of an apology. Bumping into someone coming out of the elevator or not returning a call right away doesn’t make their sorry benchmark. But for many of us ladies, it does.

So why do we as women say we are sorry so much? Part of it might be out of habit. Part of it might be a desire to seem more likable or express empathy. Some women I speak to tell me that it’s about not looking overly aggressive or not wanting to assert too much authority. I get it: It’s nerve-racking to interrupt your boss or badger someone for something that hasn’t been done. But are you sorry for it? Whatever the core reason, it makes us look like we lack self-confidence. Let’s vow to apologize only when we actually do something wrong.

Aside from interrupting a superior, here are other times we tend to say sorry in the workplace—with a possible alternative to say instead:

1. Being late for a meeting

What you might be inclined to say: “I’m so sorry, I had XYZ to do.”

What you should say instead: “Thank you so much for your patience. I know your time is valuable, so let’s dive in.”

2. Asking a question

What you might be inclined to say: “I’m sorry, can I ask a question?”

What you should say instead: “Here’s my question.”

3. Not liking something

What you might be inclined to say: “I’m sorry, I just didn’t think it was that good.”

What you should say instead: “I personally didn’t care for it, but here’s an idea to improve upon it.”

4. Grabbing something or getting by someone

What you might be inclined to say: “I’m sorry, I’m just going to reach by you to get that. I’m sorry, I’m just going to scooch around you.”

What you should say instead: “Do you mind handing that to me?” or a simple: “Pardon me!”

5. If someone asks you a question to clarify something you said

What you might be inclined to say: “I’m sorry for the confusion. What I meant to say was XYZ.”

What you should say instead: “Let me clarify what I was saying about XYZ.”

Nailing workplace communication isn’t an overnight thing, especially if you’re conditioned to be timid. There’s no shame in writing out phrases like this in advance before you walk into an important meeting or difficult conversation. Or practice with a friend. Chances are, she’ll need the help, too.

http://ift.tt/2pQ2h53
Reuters: China fx reserves rise by $21 bln in April to $3.03 trillion

China’s foreign exchange reserves rose in April for a third straight month, beating market expectations, as capital control measures and a pause in the dollar’s rally helped staunch capital outflows.

Reserves rose $21 billion during April to a total of $3.03 trillion, compared with an increase of $3.96 billion in March to $3.009 trillion.
