hums quietly about platonic love being as important as romantic love, but romantic love sells more and valentine's day has become yet another day filled with corporations. lgbt+ marriage isn't even legalized in specific parts of the world, and polyamorous marriage isn't legalized anywhere as far as i know.

Wait, you mean valentine's day isn't just about giving yourself post traumatic stress by staying up all night collecting tokens so you can adopt pink coloured pixel pets?

also whiskey's been bothering me a bit today, my ear is fucking blocked, and i have to inhale some dr. pepper.

I had a college ID before I started high school
Which I kept in my binder-bag
So in 10th grade as part of Animal Farm, before we could go in, we had to line up in front of the door. Those with an ID of theirs could go in. Those who did not, went to a different class. Every English class had an aide so the teacher could do this
Teacher expected that year's high school ID. She didn't expect a college ID. She tried to argue that it was issued in 2009. I pointed out that she only asked for ID, not for this year's ID
I got in, prolly cuz she didn't expect a college ID for a high school student

how does one get a college id if they're in high school

Derpy waddles in and gently pats Merskelly's leg.
"Merskewwy? Can I have hug pwease?"

Lol....forgot which account I was on.

Good job asking, Derpy!
XD

High school offered French and Spanich as foreign language courses
College offers ASL. Downward compatible, aka can be used for high school foreign language credits
I said I wanted to take ASL
Superintendent, who hated anyone and anything different, argued
Unfortunately for her, my parents had already gone to the principal, who told them that her hands were tied but here's this info they 100% did not get from her nod nod wink wink
Superintendent lost. I took ASL at the college. And since I was technically also a college student due to that, I got a college ID

I want hugs. .3.

Derpy waddles over and hugs your ankle.

-w- ohhh yissss. Love me some good hugs.

Y'all seen this interpretation of the reason behind the day?

Huh. Unusual take, but I get it.

I like their version better too.

My local college had a trial project where teens could attend several afternoon courses (though not the ones with limited space) as long as their grades in high school stayed above a certain level. When I took part, I also was issued an ID of my own.

i vaguely wish there was a universal sign language, but that'd be difficult to implement.
