I am really sorry to be the one to tell you this (no I'm not) but getting really mad on social media about how bad the orange man is does literally nothing to actually fucking fight the authoritarian takeover of our government, and *does* sap your energy for things that will actually fucking help.

Honestly, if having offspring with someone of another group leads towards the extinction of the group you belong to, it's a weird definition of extinction.
