cafe, homophobia (minor), materialism, family
I would just like to thank my mother once again for giving me these awesome new wireless headphones, whose noise-canceling features are doing a great job of shutting out the mildly homophobic banter of the baristas in my hometown's only independent cafe. *sigh*
(It wasn't anything too virulent, just some muttering about guys getting earrings—some "if it were my son" bullshit and snark about "you'd better be a pirate." Still. I am debating whether I want to come back here, and I'm sure as hell not busing our table for this shithead. :p )

@zebratron2084 the 1980s were over a while ago, boys with earrings are faintly more risqué than being able to see a girl’s knees. But... Ohio, so.

@zebratron2084 if it makes you feel better I’m from Georgia and afaik it’s still a right wing shitpit

@Leucrotta I mean, it's not ALL like that out here—it would be absurd to expect to run into that in, say, Columbus or Cleveland. But my hometown is... pretty much _that_ Ohio, yeah. *shakes head in shame*
