38 and not doing great.

Metalheads. The nicest people in the world cosplaying as the toughest.

Do ten evil things each day. We can only react to so many.

It was pretty eye-opening when I was in Germany and Austria a couple years ago and heard people parroting the EXACT right-wing taking points I hear in the States.

Mmmm. Don’t forget the Sriracha.

Don’t do the Nazis’ job for them.

I agree, but also they don’t make their money from sales. They make money from AWS servers/ services. I would bet that they lose money or maybe slightly break even on every sale of a physical item.

Even writing in the dirt on a new car can fuck up the clear coat.

What? You’re saying if America becomes less accepting of gay people, Russia will become more accepting? Like, having a pride parade in retaliation?

Hate to say it, but I don’t think that the downfall of the American hegemony would go well for queer folks, even a fucked up as it is. To a certain extent, global power IS a zero sum game. Especially in the context of Tulsi Gabbard, who seems to be aligned with Russian interests. If American influence wanes, that vacuum will get filled by soft power coming from Russia, China, or some combination thereof. Neither of them are huge fans of the queers.

Teachers, nurses, etc. Passion professions get fucked regularly.

Imma let you finish, but Neo had the best ‘died and resurrected for our sins’ arc of all time.

Honk.

This song is featured in the horror movie Green Room, which is also an excellent answer to this question.

Yes, you are a very lucky minority. I would bet that 95% of humanity doesn’t like their job and 70% hates it. For the vast majority of people, work is a place where you go and somebody pays you to do something you don’t want to do.

Give us something free and we’ll resell it to the poor.

If there’s a job that must be done

You’ll find it’s much more fun

Don’t pout, don’t sob,

Just do a half-assed job!

If you cut every corner then it’s really not so bad

Everybody does it, even mom and dad.

If nobody sees you, then nobody gets mad.

It’s the American way!

“My god, I’m exhausted! Aren’t you tired of always caring about everything?”

“No, Jinkx. I’m tired of other people NOT caring about everything.”

Seattle. And yes, it’s fucking expensive. Outside of the city is cheaper, but diminishing returns on inclusiveness the farther away you get.

If you have a tech background, living here gets way easier.

I’ll tell you that where I live in America is waaaaaayyyy more accepting than what you’re describing. A friend transitioned a couple years ago, and said that the insurance, doctors and her job were all super helpful and understanding. A drag queen duo just sold out one of the most popular venues in the city multiple nights for their annual holiday show. Hell, the bar down the street from me has a trans couple who are regulars and nobody gives a shit (coincidentally, they just moved here from Texas). It’s not even a queer bar or anything, it’s just a normal watering hole.

A lot of places in America suck, but there are oases, is what I’m saying.
