Apparently EU citizens can apply for British citizenship after getting settled status... but for some reason I doubt it would really be that easy... I bet they'll come up with some bullshit again and change the rules last moment... Also what use is there staying in a country that's in a horrific crisis after leaving the EU and the coronavirus pandemic...

British people arent human just saw a bunch violently arguing and kind of harassing a young american schoolteacher for using PEMDAS. which is. the acronym for it we use here. no apparently there its called BODMAS and when you imply that people in different countries use different words for things boy do they get angry!! tell you what get some astronauts. this wont let you weigh in on what children are taught in their country that isnt yours anymore because you couldnt handle a little tar and feathering but i think itd be better for your pr than this shit.

So this was at an Aldi’s

Awhile ago, a woman was asking for a quarter to get a cart. I searched my bag for a spare, turns out I have it, then I gave it to her.

It was no biggie.

So on a different Aldi’s trip more recently, Mom finds out about this, but she was mattering with the theme of “Whay the hell?? Why’d you do that?? Did you get a cart back?” And I’m like “??? Wtf does that even mean???” But Mom says that NO, I’m not SUPPOSED to help strangers get a cart when they can’t alone but I can. I’m allegedly SUPPOSED TO get something in return.

And I doubt that I’ll forget this anytime soon.

Cuz woooow, how DARE I be nice to people! /s

Was Gabriel born in Britan an then came to US or were they born already here?

They were born in the UK yeah-

Moved to the US when they were little

I really do wonder how much the fact that all the Americans we meet outside the US had the money for a holiday many of us couldn't ever afford in reverse leads to misunderstandings in the 'americans getting touchy about their bad reputation' discourse

Reading The Berlin Stories rn.

Yes, the same organization that rings bells around Christmas time for donations. The same on that has thrift stores. It’s complicated y’all…

Old white man asked me what my book was about at work and I had to sheepishly tell him it was about how the British ruined India, he said something about wishing how we could turn back the clock and do things right so idk thanks for not being an empire apologist old man, coulda hit me with a line about the trains

every day i am ashamed to be british. my country is beautiful and i could never belong anywhere else but being represented by this government is ruining me. british actions both past and present are a horrific stain on this country and i will never forgive our genocide-enabling government for its inaction

Smth smth thinking about reader being an escaped shifter experiment, escaped from the US to hide in Britain

You try to act like a normal civilian, but the urge to shift is building to be intolerable. So why fight it? It's easier to live as a cat anyway, maybe someone could take you in.

What you didn't expect was for 4 giant, bulky, military men to find you. They'd found you in an alleyway near a fish restaurant, searching for scraps. The one wearing the weird mask had been the one to pick you up.

Then, the other 3 rushed over after hearing your yowling. The damn masked bastard had you scruffed!

"I found a cat."

Wow. Brilliant observation.

"Simon, it's a stray."

"I was a stray."

There was a snort, "C'mon Cap, it's kinda cute, isn't it?"

You hiss indignantly, you were not an it! The one with a mohawk reaches out to you, letting you sniff his fingers.

"We do not need a cat, Soap don't touch it. Who knows what it has."

"It's too clean to be a stray, ah doubt it's a stray. Give 'er here, LT."

The masked man hands you over, and you're quick to scramble onto the mohawk man's shoulder, wrapping around his neck. You growl a little in your displeasure, but don't swat.

"See! Docile, little thing, aren't ya!"

For whatever it actually means, the U.S. Censes Bureau in a 2022 study says the number of U.S. children living with two parents has dropped since 1968.  Fifty years ago 85% of children under 18 lived with two parents, but by 2020 it had fallen to 70%.  The report also found that the number of children living only with their mother has doubled since 1968.  The findings coincide with a significant drop in marriage rates in the U.S., making the country having the world's highest rate of children living in single-parent households.
