Dad Jokes. SO MANY DAD JOKES.
#NeverAgain has become #ActuallyAgainRightNow
First they came for women's bodily autonomy.
Then they came for the transgender and nonbinary.
Then they came for the drag queens, gays and lesbians.

Pro Tip: If you want to avoid recreating the twitter site, instead of amassing followers, pick a few like minded folks from your interests out of the feed and just enjoy hanging out.
They'll help you find others and pretty quickly you'l have a nice little comfy group.
While J keeps us safe from trolls, we can also keep ourselves happy by just enjoying our interests and letting the rest roll by in the firehose.
Speaking of unsolicited Dicks.
