the tjmaxx employee loading a fourth tranquilizer dart into their blowgun: i need backup

Please share!

Gross! Oh, well. Not my business.

scientific fact

Did they task the vampires with hanging up the flags 😭

the inevitable conclusion

So 2016 is SO bad that it made the creator of this meme give us an alternative version of “This is Fine”. 

(I realize the phrasing there sounds a lot less strong than my summary, but--trust me on this. When you're familiar with the narrative voice of these kinds of books, this passage is downright radical. The mere acknowledgement that if you treat your kids badly, it's your own damn fault when they don't talk to you? I've genuinely never seen that before in this genre. Don't freak out over "properly trained", either. It's just a linguistic shift--at the time, "training" was used the way we would say "raising" a child today. )

"Delete all the nudes and sexts after a breakup or you're a piece of shit" has been the standard expectation since EIGHT. TEEN. EIGHTY. FIVE.

Anyway I was wrong the publishing date is actually 1882 so like.

So like @ the modern Republican party, are the "traditional family values" in the fucking room with us right now--

Cycles of abuse: noted.

because if I hear one more gen xer say "I dunno. I don't get it" (dismissive) about someone's fuckin identity, I am going to recreate the Blade blood rave at a 30th high school reunion
