   I am… pleasantly surprised that Joyce can say “Sapphic” without cringing.

   She’s going to form a new belief system around Becky and Dina, isn’t she.

     Every year on the early hours of December 25, while the children lie snuggled in their beds, Sapphic Claus explodes out of the downstairs closet, leaving presents for all the good little lesbians (non-lesbians get brochures about the gender spectrum and exploring their identity, in case they change their minds). She then rides away on her velociraptor girlfriend.

     Does she know what sapphic means? I mean, she had to look up “strap-on”

       Maybe she picked up the new vocab in Leslie’s gender studies class last semester

   Until the Hogfather gets his full (and long over-due) recognition, Sapphic Claus can just wait her turn.

   I want to be Sapphic Claus. Or get a visit from her. Both are good.

   learn to love politics”, That’s a good one Dorothy. Yeah what’s not to love about such a “Noble” and non-corrupting profession.

   For real though there are only two types of people who aspire to have a big career in politics. The ones who seek fortune & status and only care about living career where they feel accomplish even if it means discarding whatever morals they may have had and putting said career first above their actual duty, and then you have the ones who get into politics because they actually want meaningful change for good and want to champion a revolutionary cause. Unfortunately both sides of the U.S political system will see the latter group crushed and subdued because they political figures in charge like the old status quo system that thrives on everything the first group is.

   I still say it’s important for those who care enough about where our nation is going to get involved since I’m a staunch believer in the old “with great power comes great responsibility moto” and we have the responsibility to take the wheel away from the same people who’ve been in power for the last 4 decades and have been driving us into the ground. But if we wanted a career in something that would give us fulfillment then I’m pretty sure we can find that somewhere else.

   “What if you learn to love politics” she asked, that’s gold.

       Oh, never mind, I see. I missed a day of comics because my sleep schedule is insane.
