PM for pillowfort keys

Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.

As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:

- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance

- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard

- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.

This is how you listen to someone before you hit them with facts.

[Man: So a couple people had some questions about my tiktok from the other day. So when you say that a girl is (We Fell in Love in October by girl in red), that’s actually more of an umbrella term.

She could be a (Someone New by Hozier) or more (1950 by King Princess) or even a (Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne). And the same thing goes for people that are (Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood) because they could be more (Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles) or more (Bad at Love by Halsey).

(tongue click) Or even (lorde). Same thing applies to guys that are (YMCA by the Village People). They could be more (Born This Way by Lady Gaga) or like (Troye Sivan). Or the classic (7 rings by Ariana Grande).

[ (duct tape noise) How to tuck for trans male to female. Or if you’re just really curious. First off, take that fancy dancy duct tape, that electrical tape, that athletic tape, throw that shit in the trash. It kinda works but for the most part it frickin hurts, you gotta shave all the time and its very bad for your skin. Instead, go to Walmart, get yourself a pair of high waisted tights and a pair of Dr. Scholl’s travel compression socks.
