Thursday

Have for a long time but especially the last 10 years. If they just grab my piece I'm mailing I will grab their arm (I've had to do that before) and make them postmark it. In the last few years I make them wait further whilst I take a photo of said object that MUST be postmarked by a certain date. And I'm going to turn into a bigger prick from hell moving forward concerning things like these and just about everything else. I've had it. The gloves are off. No more peaceful protest for me, no more being considerate to obvious MAGAts (and my Dawg I'm surrounded by them). As a matter of fact I let the door shut on a woman wearing a FatFuck shirt today at a convenience store. Man did it feel good hearing her drink spill when the door hit her.
Fuck 'em.

FF!!!
