My dog introduced me to a lovely young girl's dog on a nearby hiking trail in early summer, 2021.
She had just finished her degree at Central WA and had started a job/internship with either the state DNR or Fish and Wildlife, I don't remember.
Backdrop: It was early enough in the Mandate deal-io that i was hoping people would say "fuck that." In those days, I brought it up in conversation here and there.
This girl was young and sweet and reasonably smart and pretty--and she was extremely stoked about her new job; clearly it was what she had studied for, and i imagine in her mind it was a ticket to a Good Life.
Not knowing any better, I actually said to her something to the effect of: "you're not going to take that poison, are you?"
It was the wrong thing to say. She was clearly annoyed, and said:
"If people just take it we can get this over with."
That poor girl submtted to the Clot Shot to keep her dream job thing going.
I changed the subject and walked off, but left feeling major sympathy for this young person. She was finally in position to express her life the way she had dreamed of, and all she had to do was submit to the Clot Shot and it would be hers.
I was much more careful about raising the subject after that.
Gofundme. You're just trying to rile us all up. FRICKIN' WOKE COMPANY. It's only Givesendgo from here on out. I ❤ this week's quote.
