Like, things are bad. IMO much of that is people who removed queer people from the military and have CDC kill vaccines + ruin the lives of trans people and deport all non-White people, and they're all doing it because in 2008 we elected a Black guy and they got mad as hell, like the guy in the movie

live with a bit of discomfort, or the risk of it. every generation before you did

I hear about sober parties and day raves — hell, even the degenerates are taking K instead of LSD to preserve that sacred sleep cycle — and I just want to grab them all by the shoulders and yell "you are preserving the very thing partying is meant to destroy!"
