The Gender Reveal Armory

It's transgender awareness week, which Congress is celebrating by trying to ban trans people from using bathrooms in the Capitol. Find your reps' and your senators' numbers and call them and scream that they must not allow this thank youuuuuuu.

In 2018 in the throes of depression as a newly minted Angeleno (a story for another day) I enrolled in a sketch comedy writing class at UCLA that got my brain working in a fun new way and gave me homework assignments. I love homework! This whole newsletter is basically me assigning myself grownup homework.

One prompt in the class was to write an SNL-style commercial parody, and in response to there having been more than one recent catastrophic wildfire sparked by a gender reveal incendiary device, I wrote a commercial for a fake store called the Gender Reveal Armory that at the time was dumb as hell but now could absolutely be real:

There are a couple typos and I don't care.

Love, Caroline
