Also, nobody calls the Mayor (of any city) “Mayor” - it’s either “Mr/Ms. Mayor” or “Your Honor” or -if appropriate- “Shit-For-Brains”.

Ah, the Cherry Beach Express. We knew about it in the 70s. If you were a guy, that was the ride you took before you assaulted a police officer’s knuckles with your ribs and face.

We can’t protect ourselves. We can’t protect our sisters from the men that hurt us. We can’t go to the police, we can’t use whisper networks.
