Board of Trustees, 2021: "You spent HOW MUCH on billboards bragging about our bathrooms?!"
giant billboards bragging about the bathrooms -- and i want to emphasize that they're open for all and really, really big and very, very clean -- is a way to collapse class distinctions between students and townies, but at the same time this comes with increasingly erratic behavior such as building publicly-funded trail-mix dispensers and suffering from periodic outbursts described in state-owned newspapers as "precocious cha-cha" necessary to keep external enemies off guard in matters of international diplomacy, eventually escalating to balling out on the freeway as foreign-funded rebels close in on the capital

dressing up for a harry potter themed thing is incredibly easy and can be a fun way to make a point

just go as yourself and when people ask tell them you're a muggle

muggles are a "character" and part of the world of harry potter

if they push you on it bring up the fact that it is lame to have a permanent underclass whose lives would no doubt be transformed for the better with the integration of the magic world and that you also find it hosed up that wizards have a slur for your people.

Doesn't Harry just end up joining the government and becoming a bureaucrat? Talk about a pathetic coda to a hero's journey.

(Btw, it is just a ww2 parable From British perspective and just like the UK after the war, once the Nazis were beaten, it was back to the business.)

the restaurant where I work at is opening back up and I don't think I have a choice about going back unless I want to completely bottom out all my savings and then start all over again at somewhere else that's quite likely going to be a lot worse than the close-knit family place I work at. gonna own getting covid then watching them go under when we get the second wave of shutdowns.
