How Dare You Not Pretend

Some insist that not indulging modish pronouns, including animal pronouns and clown pronouns, and pronouns that can change randomly, several times a day – and being reluctant to indulge any other attendant psychodrama – is a violation of human rights and a basis for severe legal consequences.

  3. I was buying paint in Home Depot when not once, but twice over the in-store system, Home Depot proudly announced that they respect and honor individual pronouns. I told the young woman mixing the paint, that I guess the saying “Go Woke, Go Broke” now applies to Home Depot. She weakly grinned.

    1. I didn’t need a second reason not to patronize Home Depot, but now I’ve got one. Thx.

      The list is long & distinguished.
