I Love Learning Little Tidbits About Real Life In The Mormon Church. When My S.O. Was A DJ For His Mormon
I love learning little tidbits about real life in the Mormon Church. When my S.O. was a DJ for his Mormon youth gatherings in high school, he wasn't just a volunteer. It wasn't just a job they gave him. No, when they needed a new DJ, men from the church decreed that he was called upon by God to DJ the dances, and honest to fucking Christ, anointed him with oils so that he could answer God's call.

What Am I Overlooking?
Overlooked reasons for going to hell: Carrying on a conversation with someone after they have said goodbye (or other widely accepted sign-off term), as if you didn't hear them when you did. "Fixing" things about a person's appearance (bra strap, hair, etc) without asking. Answering the cellphone you didn't bother silencing in a library. Constantly putting other people's cups in the sink when they're not done using them.
One of the really shitty things about being a minority in the U.S. is that, even though you know it’s wrong to play the Oppression Olympics, you sometimes lose the capacity to want the lack of oppression, and instead look at other oppressed communities and think “I wish we could trade our forms of oppression for a day.”
Revenge Utopia

Where various public servants are treated "like servants."
Where it's widely considered weird and gross to force someone to eat in a bathroom - including infants.
Where being attracted to someone regardless of their genitals is the default you see depicted, and not liking someone because of their genitalia is something you're fine with, you just don't want it influencing the children.
Where the common myth is that gay or het exists only as a phase before they grow out of liking one gender.
Where Duck Dynasty was cancelled after one season, and Firefly was renewed for ten.
Where the phrase "but they're your family" emphasizes how fucked up something is, not how much more "forgivable."
Is there a word for "suspicious yet thorough enjoyment of compliments which causes intense self-consciousness?" There needs to be.
Making a robot voice with the fan you're using to cool your underboob.
Because physical maturation doesn't have to mean killing your inner-kid.
Those Logical, Honorable People Who Remain Neutral.
People are so well-aware that not being held accountable is to the advantage of the perpetrator in situations of injustice that we have sayings built around this concept, such as "getting away with murder." But they still pretend to not understand that they're helping oppressors when they remain "neutral." You're full of shit. Stop lying.
