the sound of a single groan tube being spun around

My dad was a public defender when I was a child and he would have to drive all over the district to visit various defendants in various jails which I thought was very interesting and I liked to hear about his experiences in various jails and how different they all were. He drove me to school every day and sometimes I’d skip in and tell my classmates “My dad is going to the jail in [TOWN/CITY] today!” mind you, I went to public school in a not very nice little town so my teacher’s first thought wasn’t lawyer, she had other students with incarcerated parents. This was also occurring in the south where everyone is nosy as fuck so she eventually called my mother, presumably to scope out why her husband was a jail bird and if the chargers were relevant to me and my education in any way. My mom had to explain that my dad wasn’t an inmate who kept getting transferred and that going to jail is his job.

is everything okay dear? you've hardly touched your pride discourse

Pride month isn't just a date on the calendar. When someone starts talking about he/him lesbians and you feel the urge to lunge at then, that's pride month. When you're in a flame war over whether gay or bisexual men are more problematic, that's pride month. Anywhere there are debates about whether straight people can feel love as deeply as sapphics is pride month. Pride month is anywhere you say something about being gay and get told to eat shit!
