How does it affect your ability to enjoy books? Or type of books you’d enjoy?

Do you tend to prefer more visual medium like video(movies, tv), or comic books?

  • Dated a girl for a while that had corresponding R & L tattooed on the topside base of her thumbs.

    That way when she was driving and people said go left, go right, she wouldn’t have to ask which way that was.

    When I was with her I’d have to say things like the turn is on your side, take a my side.

    It was different.

      my grandma once said if I get one of those tattoos I would never get a job and live in a cardboard box because nobody would hire someone who can’t know their rights and lefts 🥀

      She also said I’m infected by the devil because I love my gay dad

      she also hasn’t even gone to church in 4 years because the pastor told her to not be racist.

      • Your grandma had a lot to say.

        Those three points are a lot to unpack.

        Well she was the first time I’d encountered that personally. While it was different and directions-wise I had to train myself how to convey meaning, you’ll be pleased to know I never gave her shit for it.

      I taught children’s martial arts for a long time, and the best way to teach the younger ones is to face them and do the thing on the opposite side. I had to, for many years say stuff like: “step out with your RIGHT foot” while simultaneously stepping with my left,

      Let me tell you, the number of wrong turns I take when someone is giving directions is so embarrassing. I have to really concentrate and like… feel which hand is my right hand.
