Status Updates From The Unveiling

“‘You couldn’t ask for a better day,’ called Bobbi Sue from her side of paradise… ‘Yeah, because consumerism vis-a-vis climate change is melting the piles,’ lectured their teen, ‘making both the Arctic and Antarctic more accessible to increased fossil fuel extraction’ Shizer, thought Striker. Who brought along the president of the junior Marxists society”
You JUST thought part A of that, though! Contrarian much?

“the girl said her name was Anders, her pronouns they/them. ‘Anna also answers to her given name and she/her’ interjected Bobbi Sue…Striker was surprised by the brief whiff of compassion that surged in her chest”
Yeah, me too, since you misgendered them in the sentence that says you’re wrong! (Not sure I’m gonna make it through this chapter, guys)

OMG, now it’s the racial stereotypes. “People like us don’t go to places like that, her friend had told her, seriously, where are we in the histories?”
Umm, look up Matthew Henson, who was on 7 Arctic expeditions with Peary, author of ‘A Negro Explorer at the North Pole’! (I knew I’d seen his photo, and a 1-second Google search confirmed name)

OMG, I hate MC already. She keeps thinking how horror-movie-creepy this kid is, even though she’s been told the flat affect, echolalia, etc is probably autism. She says kid’s pet rat (likely a comfort in new cruise environment) is “flea ridden”. Talks about her dads like there is a whole soccer team of them, when there is just one ex-husband involved - again, supporting their daughter! Fuck off, lady!
