Come to class. You know which one. Someone was whispering about it at the bathroom protest. Remember? Your ex might be there. Your crush will definitely be there. We’re gonna box it out. We’re gonna get strong. There is definitely absolutely no other resource we will be…distributing. Is your friend trans? Bring them too.
