>we capitalize Black, and not white, when referring to groups in racial, ethnic, or cultural terms. For many people, Black reflects a shared sense of identity and community. White carries a different set of meanings; capitalizing the word in this context risks following the lead of white supremacists.

...

>Sarah Glover, a past president of the National Association of Black Journalists, wrote in a recent piece for the New York Amsterdam News, a historically Black weekly, that “capitalizing the ‘B’ in Black should become standard use to describe people, culture, art and communities.” After all, she pointed out, “We already capitalize Asian, Hispanic, African American and Native American.”

Yeah that’s exactly what it is. It’s robbery. They send one filter every three months. But they put it under the guise of this program that you could purchase renters insurance, it helps “build your credit”, which we don’t need, and some coupons or something. And it’s mandatory! Like just make the rent $30 more if you want the money that bad.

I had to eat emotional support nachos for dinner last night. the lady who starved the horses hired the same attorney as Rand Hooper, George Huguley, and the DC sniper. Hope Goochland animal control is doing a great job and their stuff holds up in court but…

Feeling better. Oddly excited for work. Happy I have meals planned for the week and have to do minimal shopping, plus tomorrow is pay day and Thursday we’re getting the site inspection done for our solar panels.

Yeah I heard of landlords doing it through Zillow and just collecting the application fee and not renting it. I learned to stay away from listings that had hundreds of applications. One reason is what I just said, but the other was that I just couldn’t compete since I was remotely looking.

I’m wondering now if there’s at least a way to get part of my application fee back but I wouldn’t push it until we move out

This was my thought. You may get back some of your security deposit, but, do the math regarding the amount of time it will take you to pack and unpack, plus the movers - whether you hire someone, or get friends to help. Whether you’ll need different/new furniture/etc. Moving is expensive, and $100/month increase in the market right now isn’t terrible.
