What's that, some kind of German word?
It's German for "happiness at the misfortune of others!"
"Happiness at the misfortune of others"? Wow, that is German!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dana, have you ever clapped when a waitress drops a tray of glasses?

Cause that's a sandals-with-socks offense.

The thing about re-education camps like that is that they have pages and pages of arbitrary rules to ensure that somewhere along the line the prisoners will violate something or other so that the punishments (which are the real point) can be applied. Knowing that they're set up this way may help you endure, because you can "accidentally" violate something minor early, fake breaking down and being "converted" and cruise through the rest of the week. Knowing the process will help you game their system.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The butches, you see, all wear a special sports bra called the “frog bra,” which is actually advertised in the catalog with the words: “Almost like not having breasts at all!”
snerk. I actually know which bra they're talking about -- it's sold by Title Nine Sports, and the smallest size it comes in is something like a C or D cup. I tried it on once, and while it is definitely a good sports bra if what you're looking for is no bounce whatsoever, it felt like it was about to crack my rib cage.
As for biblical homosexuality, the response I usually use to people arguing against homosexuality by using the Sodom story is Ezekiel:
" 'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
(The JPS translation, which is the commonly used Jewish scholarly one, has "This alone was the sin of your sister Sodom.")

Don't you feel all warm and cozy watching people out in the rain?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do you like getting caught in the rain? Or making love at midnight?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I bounce in a frog bra. However, DKNY lets me be supported for sports and feminine. They should look into that.

Why do they call it the "frog bra"? I'm not sure if frogs and boobies belong together....
