And I say this as someone who first came out in the early 90’s, who marched in many dyke marches, who lost a friend to AIDS, who has been to so many dyke softball games it isn’t funny… I could go on all day.

The Lesbian Avengers were a political action group, and one of their actions was to literally eat fire while chanting

“The fire will not consume us. We take it and make it our own”

it was a message that not only said that we were reclaiming and therefore defusing the things that can harm us but that the fire was also a fuel.

Oh and their slogan? “We Recruit” This was a partly tongue and cheek and partly defiant statement referencing a strong homophobic view at the time that we were sexual deviants that were preying on and recruiting vulnerable people.

Rowan, Kai, Dave, Soup and Salad are having dinner at a mexican restaurant. Rowan orders the fajitas, Kai orders a fajitas with chips and guac, Salad orders the soup, Soup ordered a plate of tacos with a side salad, and Dave has what the person using they/them ordered and no side.

Salad loves margaritas and talked the table into splitting a pitcher but the person who uses it/its doesn't like alcohol and someone who uses they/them got their own drink.

The person using she/her split the chips with one of two people who use he/him

Soup agreed to pay for dessert and does not use they/them.

The receipt was as follows

FLAN (4) .... $42.00

MARGARITA PTCH .... $40.50

FAJITAS (2) ..... $38.00

TACOS POLLOS (2) .... $35.00

TORTILLA SOUP .... $12.50

MOJITO .... $10.00

GUACAMOLE .... $9.00

SIDE SALAD .... $7.00

CHIPS .... $2.00

Tax was 7.9%. Rowan put the order on her card and tipped 25%.

This is assuming that Rowan shoulders the entire tip, but splits the tax.

I got to exactly the point you did, and then waffled on how to do the tip before deciding to split it the same way I split the tax, but all of our math up to that point is the same!! so it's likely we got it right ehe :3

If the five of them split the tip:

Rowan (she/her) will pay about $45.

Kai (he/him) will pay about $57.

Dave (they/them) will pay about $37.

Soup (it/its) will pay about $90.
