you know how crabs have independently evolved on several different continents? this is all my childhood friends reaching their 20s and coming out

Savannah Guthrie: .... how about that

I feel like the Toys R Us / Turn Down for What float just made my point

I think the Macy's formula is

oh yeah, I guess I did hang out with (checks notes) a gang of neurodivergents and obvious queers

I have *one* straight friend from high school in South Carolina and we're still not totally convinced

when I came out to my mom she said "you know, I sort of knew." I asked "how?"

(long pause)

"your friends"

"It's ELMO?!?"

"It's a DOG!"

"It's BLUEY!!"

"It's a trumpet!"

"THEY'RE DANCING!"

OK you can't fool me I *do* know who Shaggy is

I thought it was "hijo de puta" -- what Carol said to the guy in Paraguay on the phone

Spiderman has a government name, this is easy, I have answered your question

Sure, I will gladly believe this
