This is Radley. He's being accused of stealing a bag of bagels. That's ridiculous. He was just keeping this one warm for you. 13/10 please show some appreciation (TT: carrie.pietz)
These look super-cool - could have really used one a couple of months back, and keeping them in mind in case of a re-run.
There need to be enough orders for this to actually happen, so if you like them, order one!

"Screenshot of an article by Erica L. Green, titled 'Federal workers were given 10 days to report on attempts to ‘disguise’ D.E.I. programs.'

Employees were given a 10-day deadline to report violations via email without facing disciplinary action."
This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

The email is DEIAtruth@opm.gov
It would be a shame if the email was flooded. I want to be clear. The trans community is absolutely definitely not well known as tech savvy people.
