    wait wait wait, in the US firefighters are appointed by politicians?

    Why is everything over there politically? Why the fuck are judges appointed by a president?

      My favorite is that the coroner is often voted in. How does politics even remotely factor in to their jobs?

    First, holy shit she does not look 56. Second:

    “It’s kind of odd that the thing I get celebrated for the most - people are always like, ‘Wow, you’re a woman and you’re gay’ - are the two things I put the - least work into.”

    I love this quote

    It’s good to know that literally every fire from now on will be “because they’re gay”, as though there have never been fires before 🙄
