Realizing I never shared this bit of flash — yes @brevitymag and @PhilKlay I’m still up to the occasional one-sentence trick.

@RealBennRBoyle @goshdarnitmel I do. But as commonly used, “gatekeeping” does not refer to speech that is already illegal. It refers to winnowing out speech that is legal but contrarian. So your straw man is nothing more than you whining in the wind.

@RepJackKimble In my town, we all gathered in the square and you had to go put your baby on an old toilet where they put a Magic Sombrero on its head. The crowd would sing Sweet Caroline until the hat announced the race and gender. We’d then have a little parade for the little white babies.
