Yep, this fem boi you follow actually crawled under barbed wire and trained to shoot M16s at imaginary “commies” in simulated Nicaraguan villages at Camp Pendleton in the 1980s. 120

Patrick Sean Farley @foxymoron.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I've recently started using the term “snickerdoodle” to describe loutish men who insult me on social media. Turns out it’s surprisingly effective. Men who don’t care if you called them “buttercup” lose their shit if you call them a snickerdoodle, even though they can’t explain why it’s an insult. 140

She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress. 194354245284
