    Hey, Tyler. I was recently let got from my job at Mcdonalds (after i gave in my 2 weeks notice. fucklogic) and i was hoping you would have some ideas for a sassy exit when i go collect my final check. So... anything?

    When I was in high school and working at McDonald’s, a (slightly mentally-off) friend of mine at work made the most badass exit ever. That morning, he had been yelled at by the manager and he told me he had had enough and that he was quitting that day. He waited until the peak lunch-time rush (cars lined up around the building, the entire lobby packed with people)… and without warning, screamed at our manager to fuck off and climbed through the drive-thru window.

    It was everything.

    A Dialogue With My 86-year-old Grandmother About LGBT Rights & Marriage Equality
    • I saw this article:
    • http: //www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/29/gay-activists-grandparents-marriage-equality_n_1310537.html
    • earlier this afternoon and I got suddenly curious how my 86yo grandmother felt about marriage equality and LGBT rights. Since she's often hilarious, I decided to interview her on the phone and post it here. I put it on speakerphone, recorded it, then transcribed it. She's in Miami, and Cuban-born, so this is translated from Spanish. She's a pretty feisty lady. I want to be her when I grow up. Here's what she said:
    • Me: Grandma, what do you think about this couple in their 90s supporting their gay grandkids in the fight for marriage equality?
    • Grandma: I think it's very nice. You have to support your family, no matter who they are. You can't reject people for things like that.
    • Me: If you had gay or lesbian family, would you do the same?
    • Grandma: I don't know if I could make a video like those people. They speak English.
    • Me: What about in Spanish? Would you make videos supporting marriage equality in Spanish.
    • Grandma: Ay... don't get any ideas. I don't want to make a video.
    • Me: But is it okay if I post this on the Internet? On one of my websites
    • Grandma: Ignorant people might yell at you.
    • Me: Oh, that's okay, I don't mind.
    • Grandma: Yes, you can put what I said on the Internet.
    • Me: Okay. So do you support gay and lesbian people getting married?
    • Grandma: I think gay people should be able to get married. Times have changed. Even my ideas have changed. There used to be a lot of ignorance and rumors about gay people, mostly because they had to live in hiding, you know, you couldn't be yourself out in public like they can be sometimes now. So I think people just made things up. But think gay people should be allowed to live their lives like everyone else.
    • Me: Would you go to a gay wedding?
    • Grandma: Yes, I would. It would probably be more lively than a regular one. I hate weddings. They're so boring.
    • Me: They really are. What do you think about people who protest gay marriage?
    • Grandma: Oh. Idiots.
    • Me: They're wrong?
    • Grandma: Idiots. Dumb people with nothing better to do. Out of all the things to protest. They should be out trying to do some good in the world instead.
    • Me: Do you think you would have felt the same way when you were my age?
    • Grandma: (Pauses) I don't think I gave it any thought. People didn't talk about these things back then. There was a lot of ignorance. Everybody knew gay people, of course, but people didn't talk about it in normal conversation, much less in public like on the news now. I think that's good. Talking is always good. When people know things, they can make up their own minds.I would like to think that maybe with a little information and thinking about it, I would feel the same way.
    • Me: Do you think gay people should be able to adopt kids?
    • Grandma: Of course.
    • Me: As a Christian, what do you think the Bible says about gay people?
    • Grandma: The Bible is very clear that Jesus doesn't care about race or gender or where you came from or anything. He loves everyone.
    • Me: What about the parts of the Bible that says gay people should be stoned to death?
    • Grandma: We don't stone people to death anymore...
    • Me: So you don't think that applies?
    • Grandma: I think God gave us some common sense to be able to figure out what parts were meant for forever, like "don't kill" and "don't steal" and "be good to people," and what parts were just a record of the society people lived in back then. We don't hide women in the dark during their periods anymore, either. Things like that.
    • Me: What about gays in the military? Do you think that should be allowed?
    • Grandma: You know, when I heard President Obama had helped made that legal, I was surprised it already wasn't. If you're willing to pick up a gun and go fight in some war somewhere for my freedom, I'm not willing to do that, so if you are, I don't care if you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend or fifteen cats.
    • Me: Yeah, I think most people supported that one.
    • Grandma: It's like I told you. God gave us common sense for a reason.
    • Me: I know you've had a few close gay male friends. Have you ever had a lesbian friend?
    • Grandma: I did in Cuba. She was my neighbor and she did everyone's hair on the block. You couldn't really tell she was a lesbian, but she told me, after many years of knowing her.
    • Me: What do you mean by "you couldn't tell she was a lesbian?"
    • Grandma: Well, she was very glamorous. She looked like a movie star all the time - that's why she did everyone's hair. Some lesbians, you can tell.
    • Me: In English, they call the ability to tell if someone's gay "gaydar." Like "radar" but for "gay."
    • Grandma: Oh! I think I have that.
    • Me: You think you have good gaydar?
    • Grandma: Well, I was an artist, so I was around a lot of gay men. And I can usually tell, but Paula fooled me.
    • Me: The slang term for lesbians who are very conventionally feminine in English is "lipstick lesbian."
    • Grandma: She did wear lipstick!
    • Me: Do you think a lot of older people think like you do?
    • Grandma: I think so. A lot of older people keep up with the news better than you think. And you get to be my age and you realize a lot of past mistakes in your thinking. You realize that a lot of things you think mattered, really don't. And the people who don't think like that, it's mostly because they don't know any better. But even at my age, people can be taught.
    • Me: Thank you, Pupa.
    • Grandma: You should show me your website when you put this up. I hope a lot of people read it.

    After I came home from dropping my sister off at the airport, I knocked out. I needed to sleep and forget about everything. 

    When I woke up, I found an elephant and a letter on the chair. My heart dropped right away. I knew it was from my sister. She loves elephants. She will go crazy if you buy her one. I took the letter and started reading it out loud. I didn’t even care who heard me…. As I went paragraph by paragraph… My heart started breaking little by little. The little sister I love with all my heart, finally matured and wrote her heart down on a letter as a goodbye. 

    In the letter, she mentions our cutting, and how we both should stop. She says that she believes in me and how I have a future. Out of everyone in my whole family, she was the only one there for me. 

    I cried… I cried till I couldn’t anymore. I walked to the restroom and stared in the mirror… My eyes blood shot. Then I realized, my sister and I will soon be together as a family again. 

    And now, while I’m writing this, I’m also signing the letter she wrote me.

    This is our contract.

    I really wish you were here.

    Shit cis folks say to trans* folks [TRIGGER WARNING]

    “So, wait, I could fuck you right now?” - My coworker after I came out to him.

    “Well, we all have a female and male essence.” - Cissexist hippies.

    “So, do you have a penis or a vagina?” - Almost everyone I come out to.

    “Wait. Are you a hermaphrodite?” - Half of the people I come out to.

    “So you’re really a girl/boy?” - Most of the people I come out to.

    “You don’t look trans*!” - Cissexist folks trying to give compliments.

    “You know, after you told me you’re trans*, I started noticing giveaways that I didn’t see before.” - My coworker.

    “So, is your partner gay/straight now?” - My coworker.

    “How do you have sex?” - Almost everyone.

    “Is it hard to find people willing to date you?” - My coworker.

    “I don’t feel comfortable with you labeling me as cisgender.” - Cis folks who deny having cis privilege.

    “So, were you born a boy or a girl?” - Most cis folks.

    “What’s your real name? Can I call you that?” - A handful of cis folks I meet.

    “So, my friend’s trans* and ‘he or she’..” - Almost every cis person I’ve ever met who has a trans* friend.

    “Aren’t you like supporting the gender binary by getting a sex change?” - Liberal cis folks who think they’re enlightened.

    “Gender is between your ears and sex is between your legs.” - Uneducated trans* allies.

    “You’re like the best of both worlds!” - Cissexist folks trying to pay compliments.

    I’m too exhausted to come up with more right now.
