It's International Women's Day, so when you see people zooming by on electric scooters, I remember Lady Norman and her autoped.

@jwildeboer Not trying to give you shit, but when you say "when you see people on electric scooters it makes me think of this lady on her scooter" you are indeed implying it's an electric scooter. That's how language works, you suggest a connection and leave it open to the reader to make it, that's literally what "imply" means. So. A nice day to you as well.
@jwildeboer And now I WILL give you a little shit, since this post deserves it:
what she's demonstrating is CAR CULTURE. "I have money, fuck those plebs on the subway." It's not as virtuous as you seem to think.
NOW you can go away and have a nice day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Norman@jwildeboer are we sure she's not a time traveller?

Batmobile-looking scooter! -
@jwildeboer I hate to see it on the Fediverse.
Guys, if you're out there composing an "actually" toot right now, stop and ask yourself "Does this contribute to the celebration of Women's Day?" If not, don't post it.
@ridetheory @jwildeboer doesn’t seem like these instructions should be so hard to follow AND YET

feine Erinnerung von vor just 100 Jahren. Es ist DIE Geschichtsstunde: 3 Jahre danach, 1919 übernahm die Produktion die Fa. Krupp, ab 1922 verschwand dieser Nichtstinker.. -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Norman@jwildeboer Going against the tide, is the loneliest thing there is. Brave suffragettes!
