A gay mess.

Enid: "could you say something romantic?" Wednesday: "I have reorganized my longterm plans to accommodate your continued survival."

---

Enid: "I made us matching anniversary sweaters!" Wednesday: "At last. Tangible evidence that marriage is a punitive institution."

---

Enid: "You love cuddling." Wednesday: "I tolerate prolonged physical containment when administered by a licensed spouse."

---

Enid: "You were smiling in your sleep." Wednesday: "Then I expect your discretion. I have a reputation and several enemies."

---

Enid: "Can you please try to seem approachable?" Wednesday: "Of course. Shall I conceal the knife or merely stop polishing it?"

---

Wednesday: "Marriage has made you distressingly observant."

---

Enid: "Why did you marry me?" Wednesday: "You possess an unusual combination of loyalty, resilience, and poor judgment."

---

Enid: "You'd be miserable without me." Wednesday: "Initially. Then I'd become unbearable, which is technically everyone else's misery."

---

Enid: "You're jealous." Wednesday: "Jealousy is irrational. I merely object to strangers behaving as though you're available for acquisition."

---

Enid: "You bought me flowers!" Wednesday: "They were already severed and dying. They reminded me of us."

---

Enid: "You like when I call you 'Willa.'" Wednesday: "I have survived worse indignities. Few have been delivered so affectionately."

---

Enid: "Would it kill you to compromise?" Wednesday: "Wouldn''t you like to know."

---

Enid: "We need healthier communication." Wednesday: "Fine. I will begin issuing written warnings before becoming emotionally unavailable."

---

Enid: "We're supposed to mingle." Wednesday: "I married an extrovert specifically so I would never have to."

The gays on twitter really seemed to like this so I’m putting it here too

More than 50% of Indigenous communities in reserve areas in Canada are at high risk of pipeline spills. When there is a spill, reserves are disproportionately impacted.

The National Energy Board and Supreme Court of Canada has a history of declaring the "public interest and economic interests outweigh Indigenous and treaty rights." Basically, Indigenous peoples don't count enough as "public" to matter.

Pipelines are built without proper consent from the Indigenous Nations they choose to occupy. Keep in mind I say choose, because this is the case even when alternative pipeline routes are suggested that could avoid reserve land. This is a direct, constant, and often violent threat to Indigenous sovereignty.

The MMIW crisis is funded by the oil industry through the creation of worker's "man camps" near reserve land. These "man camps" are nothing but pits of sexual violence and human trafficking of Indigenous women and girls. I am not exaggerating; this is well studied and well documented.

Enid: It wasn't Wednesday

Bianca: Agnes?

Enid: Nope

Bianca: *woman doing calculations meme* It couldn't have been Thing? Right?

Enid: *sighs* I convinced Wednesday to watch the Sheep Detectives with me

Bianca: and it didn't go well?

Enid: No it was going great Wednesday loved how dumb they made the police detective and she even started seeing herself in one of the characters

Bianca: So what went wrong?

Enid: I forgot what happened to that character in the end and when the scene started I panicked

Bianca: So you broke your laptop to protect her feelings?

Enid: maybe . . .

Bianca: That's kind of sweet but you know she'll probably find out right?

Enid: Not if I destroy every computer on campus

Fun fact on Xena fanfiction.

Melissa Good was writing a lot of mostly (Uber) AU fanfics back in the day. Her work was very well received by the fandom. She caught the attention from Steven L. Sears, the author & producer of Xena. She ended up writing a couple scripts for the show, which aired.

Her fanfic series, now books starting from Tropical Storm influenced my teenage years a lot. Also taught me english.

Agnes: *hinting* Aren't you forgetting something?

Wednesday: I don't believe so

Agnes: *points at desk* The phone Enid got you?

Wednesday: She got that for emergencies I do not intend to have any emergencies

Agnes: But what if Enid does?

Wednesday: Why would she do that?

Agnes: People like Enid do not plan out there emergencies they happen without warning

Wednesday: That sounds very inconvenient, I find it unlikely she will have an emergency within the next eight hours

Angnes: Consider this, Enid is out for her run she here's the sound of a small animal and is lured off the trail

Wednesday: . . . Enid is susceptible to the sound of small animals

Agnes: Once off the trail she follows the sound to a dilapidated old house, she enters and approaches a rickety staircase, she stops and considers whether it can hold her weight

Wednesday: *nodding transfixed*

Agnes: Suddenly the animals cries become more insistent Enid becomes resolute and begins to climb the stairs. She slips on built up grime and her head becomes wedged in the balusters

Wednesday: *eyes go wide*

Agnes: *ramping up tension* As she tries to free herself the stairs already fragile from age and her fall suddenly give out. She is now hanging on by her hands. Head still sick in a show of strength she manages to hold on with one hand as she pulls her phone out of her pocket to call for help. Alas no help is coming for there is no one to answer her plea

Wednesday: Enough! If it will ease your anxiety I will bring the phone, at least until I have corrected her response to cute animals

Agnes: That's all I can ask

As Wednesday walks toward the desk, the phone begins to ring they both freeze

Wednesday: If you have done something to Enid you will not enjoy the consequences

Agnes: *anxious* I didn't I swear! She just asked me to impress upon you the importance of having your phone

The phone continues ringing

Agnes: *frantically* Answers it!

Wednesday: *answers* Are you okay?

Enid: What? No I'm fine I just knew you and Agnes were planning on breaking into the evidence locker tonight and probably wouldn't have your phone on you

Wednesday: *looks smugly towards Agnes* Correct it could be used as evidence to my location

Enid: Right, I just wanted to let you know if you get arrested I probably won't be able to bail you out

Wednesday: I will not get caught . . . why wouldn't you be

Enid: Sorry I have to hang up my battery is low. I'm with the girls and we're going to this creepy old tunnel in the woods, love you!

Wednesday: . . . why would she be going to a tunnel, creepy or otherwise, this late?

Agnes: Some social media challenge, apparently influencers keep going missing there

Wednesday: Then why would she . . . *holds out phone* make this tell me where she is!

Agnes: Were not going to the evidence locker are we?

As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."

Fuck her.

Children are capable of understanding more than we give them credit for. Teaching kids to be kind is important, but so is teaching them to recognize patterns of unfairness.
