Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy shit.

Our wings are not tired.
Holy shit.
I'd say!

re: the smallpox vaccine thing.
Obama's a few months younger than me--I'm older than the President! I'm officially old!--and I bet the vaccine thing is referring to the vaccine all of us got when we started school. Every kid my age and a few years later has a vaccination scar on their upper left arm, sometimes two to cover TB as well. I didn't realize they'd stopped doing that when someone much younger asked what the two scars on my arm were from.

Always Anti-fascist!
I don't have one, but I was born in '73. Guess I can't be Pres. huh?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Those poor kids. They're really not going to do well in the world when they grow up, they're being raised to be completely shunned by the rest of society. I think most kids growing up now don't really "get" racism or homophobia in the same way my generation does. Or, I could be writing this from my safe enclave of Los Angeles, in my blue state Hollyweird Librul comfort.
Friends of ours were relating the story of their 8 year old daughter watching the President's speech. Her mom is a middle school social studies teacher so she said she got 6 "refusals" to watch the video. Their daughter was telling them about the kids that didn't watch in her class and she basically said, "Mom, it was the dumb kids that didn't watch."
Bless.

I don't have the smallpox vaccination but I had a mole removed on my upper arm a few years ago and the scar looks very much like a vaccination scar.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Holy shit.
And a hot damn.
Sounds like they're going to try and lower the boom on Serena--seems they've already fined her the tournament/tour max and are meeting to see if they can fine her more. Looks like she freaked the shit out of that linesperson.
