They make me cringe so hard. When I got my first job interview at McDonalds they came by in red and yellow tabbards to show our family's loyalty to their house.

We've been in like, a whole bunch of wars.

Did you not know we had a military?

It's probably for defending the north. Russia and Canada have been disputing those borders for a long time, and with global warming opening access to more natural resources, it's about to get spicy.

That was the sentiment when I read it. Those things were progressive for us, when groups of parents were petitioning to get it taken from the school library — in a white prairie town before everyone had a cell phone, interracial couples were the subject of gossip and it was normal to compare trans people to aspiring attack helicopters.

Obviously I don't support the TERFy cunt now.

The interspecies dance between millennials who read Harry Potter when it was considered subversive and anti-christian, and Gen Zers who call it racist TERF propaganda, is one of my favorite culture schisms.

Milk used to make me so sick my little ten year old body projectile vomitted it across the breakfast table and my parents, who'd seen 10¹⁰ milk commercials, were like "maybe you're not drinking enough milk."

If someone doesn't know what the issue is about, why does their opinion matter?

This is the internet, literally anything can be misconstrued. Someone on here called me a nazi yesterday. If you check my modlog I was banned from a community for fascism.

Criticizing a valid, informed statement about an issue that's challenging people's identities because of how it might appear is like clutching pearls while your house is on fire.

AOC is right and that quip does attack the shifting of responsibility.

In one simple statement AOC pointed out that Riley wouldn't have won the race she used to build her anti-trans platform. The swimmer has been careful to present herself as a champion, when in reality she started her campaign after tying for fifth place with a trans woman.

They hold the gender pendulum over your groin to see whether it swings in a manly arc or a feminine circle.

How do you know which corn is which shit? Do you switch up the colours?

Is it a horse, a boat, or warhammer 40K?

Before the fondling they're called pre-felt.

That's a joke for my felting homies.
