oh that's a point, the newbies from tumblr might not have heard the the way we deal with terfs yet

they get loaded into a trebuchet and flung into a volcano

people who shit on otherkin can get trebucheted along with the terfs

Making working things out of non-working things you've got around is:

this isn't just a non-sequitur, aldi has had christmas adverts featuring mildly anthropomorphised carrots for the past couple of years
