The last person that asked me to explain the Fediverse got a long rant about America and Stephen Strange being chased by a demon. So, let’s talk about you instead. How are you doing?

    To whom it may concern:

    Please be advised that your meme will be slathered with creamy peanut butter and drizzled with melted chocolate. Afterwards, you may immediately go and pound sand.

    Should you decide to spread this misinformation further, we will be forced to place a bounty on you. When you are captured, you will be taken to Hershey Park and doused with Hershey’s chocolate syrup in front of many peanut  butter & chocolate lovers.

    For good measure, the public will be armed with crunchy peanut butter balls dipped in milk chocolate if you attempt to escape (dark chocolate covered peanut butter balls sold separately).

    Childhood.

    Hi, car gal here with other car gal friends. My uncle (mechanic) was my main babysitter when I was a kid. I used to watch him overhaul a clutch as he said each procedure out loud to see if I was paying attention and encouraged me to ask questions.

    He would take me and my cousins to car shows, tire shops and car dealerships (when they’re closed). We learned to appreciate different types of vehicles and languages from him; it’s kinda hard to read a manual if you don’t know German.Also, my uncle kept plenty of Legos and Matchbox cars in his shop for us to play with – they were my favorite toys.

    Then one day, I discovered boys.

    Oil changes and smelling like Lava soap with a hint of sweat weren’t my thing anymore. My first purchase was with my first boyfriend, we bought a beat up old boat for $500.

    Today, I still prefer cars with the best turning radius. I will never underestimate an I4 or choose a V6 over it without careful consideration; I do love being behind the wheel of an I6. Some people will pay an extra $4,000 for Vrooom (PSE system) while others like me would rather spend the money on Kevlar tires and strict scheduled maintenance.

    Different strokes for different folks – that’s what personalization is about.

    This may not be the answer you’re looking for but it’s my opinion.

    As far as I can remember, my parents and their siblings would have the Hallmark channel running all day during the holidays and family get-togethers. They feel that it’s kid-friendly because there’s no cursing and no aggressive ads for the latest Disney toy. It didn’t matter who was hosting Thanksgiving dinner, it’s always the same movies on the television.

    So whenever I hear someone mention the Hallmark channel, I immediately think of the numerous Christmas movies we watched over the years and associate the channel with wholesome family-friendly shows and a dinner table filled with food. The movies always have the entire happy family working together to make dinner just like my family — minus my cousins and I stealing grandad’s bourbon, grammy’s smokes and our uncle’s car to pick up another cousin who’s high as a kite.

    Two years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to The Way Home, a fantasy drama tv series which I actually enjoyed. I was surprised to find it on the Hallmark channel and I’m looking forward to another season if it comes to fruition. That’s probably the feminist plot line you’re looking for since it revolves around three generations of women.
