I feel like if civil rights leaders weren't getting assassinated all the time and they were alive now neolibralism is so strong it would have even overtaken there morals. I can't help but imagine Dr. Rev MLK Jr as a mattress salesman. "I had a dream, and you can too on our new temperpidic mattress sale."

So just like a heads up to everyone like Capital Lake Fair is happening downtown right now and it turns out that we actually can't enjoy it because it's actually pretty problematic. Yeah. I shouldn't have to be the one to remind you that TRUMP and also that OPPRESSION and also REPUBLICANS and COPS. So yeah. I'm sure you are beginning to see how devastatingly problematic Lake Fair is. I was down there last night just to be disgusted and I saw three little kids squeal with joy when their grandpas won them big pink stuffed animals, I'm sure you can see how problematic that is because that's pretty problematic. First of all HETERONORMATIVE GENDER STEREOTYPES. And also CHINA. And A LACK OF MULTICULTURAL SPACES. I should not have to be the one to tell you about PRIVILEGE. How about we give kids copies of The New Jim Crow as a prize, did anyone even suggest that? I DIDN'T THINK SO. I got myself a corn dog just so I could compost it and the person at the food cart didn't even go out of their way to tell me IF there were any gluten free options, they didn't ask me my gender pronoun, NOR did they open our transaction with a solemn recognition that this conversation between two oppressors was about to take place upon stolen Native American land. I don't know this for sure but I'm pretty sure that those uniforms the festival staff are wearing include some PETROLEUM PRODUCTS. I mean what the actual f**k Olympia? We're supporting the oil and gas industry now? That's so problematic. Have we forgotten about CLIMATE CHANGE? SEA LEVEL RISE? 😭
I just want everyone to know, that yes I went to Lake Fair last night, but no way I enjoyed it. It was all a social experiment for me, it was like watching a train wreck and I couldn't look away. Yes, I got an elephant ear with extra sugar and ate it, but I condemned it vocally and talked about the plight of the POC farmers that likely grew the wheat the entire time I ate it. Yes I played the carnival games and won prizes, but I told everyone around me how problematic competition is the entire time. Yes I rode the rides and made sounds as if I were having fun but NEWS FLASH I WAS DEFINITELY BEING IRONIC. Just in case anyone was wondering, I definitely didn't have any fun, and neither should you. Fun, when you actually stop and think about it, is pretty problematic.

"You mean I'll put down my sword and you'll put down your rock and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?"

When two parties looking for a fight show up for a fight there tends to be a fight. Fighting is stupid.
