Last Thursday, Speaker Destin Hall told a reporter “ICE and CBP have a difficult job… we just ask that they come back.” We just didn’t know he meant Thanksgiving week.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.
