at trivia tonight, one of the teams named themselves “Nickelodeon Casting Couch” and another was “Half Your Age Plus Seven” 🥴 the latter was three men sitting right behind our all-women group and the former was awarded points for best name for some reason?? the organizers joked about how dark the names were this week but that was it. afterwards i went up to tell them that the names felt really uncomfortable and unsafe, and it wasn’t cool to brush it off, much less reward that kind of language
anyway, i felt like a mere caricature of someone who speaks up for stuff like that and also felt kinda dumb for being a bleeding heart or whatever… gonna feel bad for a bit tonight and rehearse a much more eloquent version of what i said instead of whatever tumbled out in the moment
