Clarion- (historical) a shrill narrow-tubed war trumpet

For such a woke person, they didn’t capitalize Black. Tsk tsk. /joking

“…can you forgive a queen for embellishing the truth a teeny bit to reclaim a shred of her dignity?”
I doubt many of the details of their stories for exactly this reason.

Re: comparing oneself to god/jesus, it’s not about that, it’s about showing off my knowledge of the Bible and wanting to make Sunday school teachers proud. Can you blame me?

Yes, yes I can. It’s so out of place and unnecessary. If you aren’t really equating yourself with Jesus, then don’t. They’re coming off pretentious enough without the extra Christian shit

Pusillanimous- timid; cowardly; showing a lack of courage or determination

Acuity- sharpness or keenness of thought, vision, or hearing

Spritely- (especially of an old person) lively; full of energy

I know it’s just supposed to be funny, but I think it just comes off as bitter and insecure all the “I gOt InTo HaRvArD” stuff. Which, I guess whatever, they’re allowed to be bitter and insecure. It’s just not fun to read.

Alright maybe I’ve been shitting on them too hard. That paragraph about diversity being about action and sacrifice was good. And damn, they got into a bunch of good schools.
