For folks in the UK if you’re in crisis contact the Samaritans https://www.samaritans.org/ call 116 123. It’s free and 24/7 and fully confidential. They’re helped me out in the past, don’t hesitate to call.
- Comment on Dave Chappelle’s Obsession With Mocking Trans People Continues in New Netflix Special ‘The Dreamer’: ‘I Love Punching Down’ 10 months ago:

The nectar price isn’t a ‘sale’ so it doesn’t apply. Not that I have collected any evidence for this but it seems like my experience.
