Me at work every day…like, just open whichever one you want, Microsoft…stop asking me about it!
I had someone fix mine so it goes to new teams and I stopped getting that.
This is not a meme but I want someone to make it into one.
Driving home last night the 80s Rick Springfield classic “Jesse’s Girl” came on. DD thought he was singing “I wish that I WAS Jessie’s girl.” Listen to that song with gender fluidity in mind. Who is Jesse/Jessie really? What are their pronouns? What are their partners pronouns?
Rick Springfield was a fucking gender fluidity savant…
Is this not the lyric?
(had)
That seems a bit offensive
Yep. Goes on the long list of shit we didn’t even think about back then.
Yes, the original lyrics are quite the little ode to misogyny. As if a partner is something one owns, and that a friend could just kind of re-occupy.
So I loved that DD switched “I wish that I HAD” to “I wish that I WAS” – sublimated homo-eroticism anyone? And then the whole spin on how Jesse/Jessie might identify opens up a whole world of genderqueer possibilities!
I want Harry Styles to cover this song now with the WAS instead of the HAD…
If you like ska, you may enjoy Ms. California by Skatune Network & JER. Fun song that sounds more like the “I wish that I WAS” that you’re talking about.
Ugh, this was me today. I was trying to have a rational conversation with an employee at the bike store, when I hit my heat/dehydration wall (it was 97F and I’d biked 16 miles…). Fortunately I recognized it and took myself home.
Kudos. I wasn’t sure any memes were gonna come out of this that weren’t full celebrate violence status. This is a good one
