      Ouch. Am I part of the problem if I would un-ironically watch “Christian Fundamentalists Do Home Stuff On A Farm”.

      This show could easily be achieved with simple narration changes (like interjecting basic science facts via narrator …) to any number of existing shows.

      Can we get Diane Morgan to narrate it? Or Ron Howard?

      I kind ofneed this, now.

    It’s not fair but don’t discount how much disposable income two white men in their thirties can pump into a house if they’re lucky enough to live somewhere where the intersections of privilege/discrimination line up just right to favour white men, but not discriminate against their homosexuality.

    To be clear, it’s a good thing when they don’t face discrimination. Just how capitalism works on neighborhoods that make it shitty. You should be able to improve your neighborhood without disadvantaging your neighbours, present and future.
