So at first, I'm thinking - well now, that'd make a pretty good meme; maybe something like:
"Next time my kids bitch about their hard-ass math teacher..."
-- or --
"All I've ever asked you to do around here is to clean up your room once in a while"
But fuck that, cuz fuck me for not trying to think a bit past my own little corner of the world, which is still pretty well insulated from what seems like a bigger and bigger piece of the world that looks more and more fucked up practically every day.
I'm still gonna make my silly jokes, but I'll be trying to widen the horizon a little.
It actually gets harder to ensure the survival of the species if we insist on never looking beyond, "it could be much worse for us, so be glad it's them".
