It occurs to me that if you’re running a “trans-owned LGBTQIA+ bookshop and coffee shop” – “queer books, queer haircuts, queer coffee” – yes, queer coffee – and your patrons have to be reminded, via “guidelines displayed on each table,” of how to behave like even minimally civilised people, then you may want to seek out a better class of patron.
On the laugh-a-minute world of ostentatiously “queer” venues.

I hope one of the patrons (patronettes, patronits?) wins a free vacation in Palestine.
WTFs a bookshop?
Fake gender-benders require rules which help to keep the sheeple in their mental cages.
It’s all natural, they say.
It’s a place where pseudo-intellectual virtue signalers can go to let the world see that they know how to read … know how to read about Queer things … like the 1619 Project and how to comfortably tuck your junk under. Oh! And FREE FREE Palestine!
Everyone else has an Amazon account and a Kindle.
l can imagine all the drama queens (dbl entendre there) trying to outdo each other. gawd gawd gawd WHAT are these superfluous fairies gonna DO when the really hard times happen?
I couldn’t stop myself. I had a curiousity to find out what “queer coffee” was. So, I looked it up.
(((“Queer coffee” refers to a growing movement of LGBTQIA+-owned roasting brands, cafes, and inclusive spaces within the coffee industry.”)))
______________________________________
So, “queer coffee” refers to segregation, and selective business relationships based on someone’s sexual preferences for an industry that has absolutely nothing to do with sex. Got it. Oh, wait….there’s more.
((( Some roasters like Queer Wave Coffee are led by Indigenous and trans founders aiming to disrupt traditional, colonial coffee supply chains.)))
____________________________
“Disrupt traditional, colonial coffee supply chains”. Have any of you guys noticed that these younger generations like to re-name stuff and try to pass it off as something they came up with in their genius? Disrupting traditional, colonial coffee supply chains is a retarded way of saying….break into the market and acquire standing with the consumer so as to grow your business. There is no disruption. There is acquisition of market share. There is no colonialism. The employees in Indonesia, Sumatra, Colombia etc. are residents of that country working for growers, roasters and distributors associated with that country. Way in the past there might have been colonialism. But, 9 times out of 10 that interaction produced the industries that exist today and benefit the inhabitants.
My answer to Queer coffee …

Queer coffee? Hell, that’s when someone pisses in it.
Juan Valdez stirs bushels of donkey turds in with the beans while they’re roasting.
Fun fact: The first man to portray Juan Valdez (a fictional character created in 1959 by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia to represent the country’s coffee farmers and distinguish their premium 100% Arabica beans from blended coffees)….well, he was an actor from Cuba named José F. Duval.
It’s called “queer coffee” because it has a secret ingredient. Ask them. They’ll tell you what it is.
Would you like me to leave room for cream?

Come again?
… sorry dear. But I need some recovery time
Used to get my hair cut at a business clearly frequented by gay men. The barber was great, everybody was nice.
One of the clients complimented me on my hair and added some advice, to which I replied “a little too much information,” which cracked everybody up. All in good gun I thought. These dudes are not the problem.
” These dudes are not the problem.”
Most of them aren’t, no. It’s the small minority of ‘Pride’ types who can’t seem to get enough attention who are the problem.
Back when I was in Junior High… (stringed music interlude) …my brother got a lifeguard job at our local suburban YMCA. It was basically a gymnasium, swimming pool, and two racket ball courts. The courts were essentially handball courts as racquetball wasn’t quite a thing yet in 1968. My brother got me into the ‘Y’ for free because of his job, and I played quite a bit of handball.
I would often play against this twentysomething guy who hung out at the courts. He was a very good player. I asked him how I could get better like him. He said you need strong wrists. I asked how I could strengthen my wrists. He said; beat-off more. Masturbate more.
That was the last game I ever played with him.
Note to tourists.
Sunday is the Sodomy parade in Victoria.
Steer clear of the perverts and naked phaggots and dykes on bikes.
Any parent that brings their kids to these perverse demonstrations should be permenanently seized.
With any luck, the skies will rain fire and brimstone, limited to the city limits!
Coffee is black. Crap, another layer of DIE!
I like my coffee like i like my women: Hot, Black and Bitter!
Black and … full bodied
Sweet and creamy!
the link led to a venue in Vancouver ‘Birdhouse’ with reference to extremely strict ‘cultural appropriation’ rules.
prompting me to look up their contact info, l got an email address and sent THIS:
a Q re cultural appropriation. specifically a well known example. large hooped earrings are commonly associated with the hispanic community and when appropriation rules are applied are limited to members of that group. but how resolutely certain is it that the hispanic community INVENTED and ORIGINATED the fashion ? WHO AND WHEN was the*very first* jhooped earring worn? egypt 5000 year ago? africa in the last 3,000 years? maybe even scandinavia and at SOME point, faded, and then it became hugely popular among hispanics? but they merely appropriated the fashion, popularized it and made it a ‘trade mark’. but given that ‘enforcement’ of the rules regarding ‘appropriation’ in some case is EXTREMELY STRICT, at the same time HOW can it be 100% ASSERTED ALWAYS AND EXCLUSIVELY that the *current* users of that ‘cultural artifact’ are in fact ALSO the ones that INVENTED IT? how is that possible? ANY fashion or linguistic or artistic thing some of which show up in the most extraordinary archeological places for instance. HOW can ANYONE reasonably and *rationally* claim ECLUSIVE ACCESS to a cultural standard WITHOUT SOLIDLY IRREFUTABLY UNDENIABLY RESOLUTELY PROOOOOOVING that *their* cultural group were the all important ‘first’???? well, it isnt. all that can ‘realistically’ claimed is that AT THE PRESENT TIME a ‘given’ fashion standard is primarily or maybe even exclusively ONE group. but, was it always? how far back? can anyone PROVE the VERY first ‘appearance’ of the artifact or practice? and thus ‘lay claim’ to it? how is that REMOTELY possible???? THE ENTIRE QUESTION OF ‘CULTURAL APPROPRATION IS THUS THROWN IN DOUBT SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND NOT ACT LIKE A BUNCH OF THIEVES PARADING AROUND WITH THE STOLEN BOOTY CLAIMING ‘POSSESSION IS 9 TENTHS OF THE LAW’ NONSENSE.
l do not however expect ANY sort of response. that rarely happens when you CORNER someone ‘using their own rules and word against them’
