⠀Maybe ascii?

This is so dumb

keadams.bsky.social•2 days ago

If they've removed the spoons, it's time to go with knives.

cats-gardens.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks for that clarification. Yes! Nice logo

Sounds efficient

juliyuh.bsky.social•2 days ago

That's the most snowflake thing I've ever seen, to be threatened by utensil emojis 🤣

Republicans are the softest fucks

So petty. Knives are stabby. Personally, tea cup.

It's Riddick-Approved!

Exactly. My husband and I argued while I was drinking tea one morning. Did the whole speech. I won that day. 🤣🫖☕️

sabocat1829.bsky.social•2 days ago

Your husband is a lucky man, sister. Clearly, he chose...wisely. 😅✊🏼

Sounds like what my workplace would do too. How stupid.

spooky-jones.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well that ought to do it.

They are afraid of a Spoon. Well done. Fork them.

There is one other piece of silverware, but it might be too threatening. The lollipop looks a bit like a spoon.
Replying with the russian flag may be fun.

You've got to be shitting me. How petty can they get?

kuriouscity.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is worse than middle school, and the trombones used to empty their spit valves in my hair, so you know it’s really really bad.

rogueresistknitter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly. They're actually spending time and resources to do this in the name of cost cutting and efficiency.

This is actually doubly perfect for the CDC given: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory

That’s such an L.

Like really, I’m embarrassed for them. Rather than just ignoring it, removal both acknowledges the protest and telegraphs “We’re scared of you and we have no idea what to do”
