    novazembla got a reaction from Le Chat in popular things you hate   
    Brand names with vowels removed. Apparently people think this is cool? I could deal with it when it was just Flickr and Tumblr. Now I can't stop seeing ads for DSTLD jeans and MVMT watches and BHLDN which I would absolutely never have guessed is supposed to be "beholden" if I wasn't told so. (Also, who wants to be beholden?) Do we think we're writing in Arabic? Make it stop.

    novazembla reacted to soc13 in Boston & Cambridge, MA   
    If you're the type of person who worries a lot about safety, don't live in Dorchester, just because other people will scare you with their tales of it, even though they've probably never stepped foot in any of the neighborhoods.
    Ashmont is gentrifying. It's more than fine. Especially right by the T station.
    Boston is as other east coast cities are: most of the language and fear-driven hype around certain neighborhoods is racially coded language about Black folks or immigrants.  Most victims of violence/crime are the people born and raised in these neighborhoods, not a random person walking down the street.
