Calling into work: Too soft and gay to submit myself to capitalism today. Prescribing myself time with friends and loved ones and making at least one (1) art

(I wish)

@mawr There was a thing I read once where in the midst of people trying to get homosexuality declared a disease to be cured, a bunch of people started calling in gay to work, because if it would be legally considered an illness they'd have to give time off for it or something along those lines

@Felthry Yup, I remember that-- it's been used as a form of protest a few times now
