nyeh heh heh heh

I work at a greeting card shop, a mom-and-pop (but really single mom shop) kind of place and I have to add to this! 

Companies have just started to make wedding cards featuring same-sex couples in the last two years. This year for the first time a major distributor made same sex Valentines Day cards! I was over the moon!  

This is from Papyrus! They are a great card company that you can get at loads of stores like Target. 

BUT THEIR WEDDING ONES ARE BRAND NEW AND AWESOME. 

See that matching set of ties? That was our best selling wedding card about four to six months after marriage equality became legal in our state! Do you know how many nervous old women I had to help pick out a same-sex card? LIKE SO MANY. 

I had a man in his 90′s who was super nervous even ask me (quote), “I don’t mean to be offensive I just don’t know the word for a girl who likes girls and I don’t know what card to get my great niece.” And I was like, “The word is lesbian, you aren’t being at all offensive, and this card here will be perfect.” BEST DAY OF MY WORKING LIFE OKAY. 

Meri-Meri cards also have great same sex cards!! The Mr. and Mr. banner is also one of our best selling wedding cards! 

BUT HOLD THE FUCK UP.

BECAUSE LET’S TALK ABOUT ANOTHER CUSTOM CARD SHOP LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY FROM US.

Ladyfingers Letterpress!! Run by a woke as fuck lesbian couple!! 

You want a card for a transgender family member? FUCK YEAH YOU DO. 

You want a polygamous/bisexual inclusive card? HELL YES. 

You want to remind your family that you are the GAY COUSIN??? 

DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO ANY GENDER? ANY SEXUALITY? STILL QUESTIONING? LOOK AT THIS. 

FUCK YEAH INCLUSIVE GREETING CARDS.

when you don’t get any new episodes for weeks or months at a time, and then 5 in a row all of a sudden, it throws off the pacing. things feel weird, rushed, even confusing sometimes.

additionally, when fans have to wait weeks or even months at a time for a new episode, they get impatient and have much less tolerance for the eps they see as “filler” (ie: episodes that aren’t lore centric and don’t necessary resolve major plot points).

and I get it, it sucks to wait 6 to 8 weeks or more for a new episode of a show you enjoy only to have it be a slice of life that doesn’t answer any questions from the last episode that aired weeks ago that was maybe plot oriented. the problem is, writers intentionally put lighthearted episodes in between plot-oriented ones so that viewers don’t feel overwhelmed with too much too fast.

for that one draw-the-squad meme
