[Finally...... It's happening.... someone is asking him to take a stand against Alexis.

Squinting his eyes, straightening up, suddenly very solemn.]

I knew this day would come.
What did she say in her last post?

[🩷 Melanie 🩷 @MelanieLavoie_]

Aw, that was such a cute idea!

But no, it's because of the horrible things Alexis put out yesterday. I was thinking maybe the Totem could do an article on the real harm that sort of journalistic malpractice causes.

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

Oh, Melanie! Hi. Of course, what is it? If it has to do with the Totem poll for Pride Month, I may not have the answer to your question, but ask away.

[🩷 Melanie 🩷 @MelanieLavoie_]

Hey, Nick! @editcrialist

Can we talk?

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

Okay! Okay. So Google didn't let me down. I shouldn't have listened to Logan. Why did I listen to Logan?

[𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲. @ofthearts]

oh, uh, no ! not that i'm an expert, but . . . you had the "plus" in there, which covers the basis that sometimes it's referred to as L-G-B-T-Q-I-A . . . and most shorten it to lgbt+, like you did.

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

Um, wow. That is... that's one way to see it...

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍* 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻 @heartIikegold]

because he's a miserable old man who prefers taking his frustrations out on us rather than do anything to change his unhappy life.

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

Well, ah.... It's always best to double-check!! Or to ask someone who is directly concerned. Simple good journalism practice.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚊𝚗 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚜𝚘𝚗. @BigfootsBully]

oh.

so you don't trust him, huh? 𝘣𝘳𝘰? using google?😐

( vaguely threatening aura. )

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

It's okay, it's just one test! I'm sure you'll do better for the next one!

[👈 Guy who was freaking out all week thinking he wasn't getting an A]

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

... It is frustrating to come so close to a perfect score. I wish Mr. Carmichael would at least explain why no one got 100%.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍* 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻 @heartIikegold]

but it's not good enough.

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

I got 98%!! You should be happy with 99%, it's the best score in the class!

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍* 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻 @heartIikegold]

because i demand to know what happened to do knock me down a percentage. you may be content with a failure, but i'm not.

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

You got 99%! Why would you say that?

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍* 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻 @heartIikegold]

i don't believe these grades.

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

[Now squinting to find Alexis' name on the list. How much did SHE get?]

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

[A loooong relieved sigh.]

Sweet mother baby Jesus. Okay. Phew. Mr. Carmichael was just evil with all the C answers. Everything is fine.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍* 𝗺𝗿. 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 @duteovs]

8. @editcrialist , 98% , A+

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

time to post grades outside his door.

There isn't? Did I get it wrong in any other way?

[𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲. @ofthearts]

are you -- are you guys thinking there's 22 letters in the acronym ??

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

But I don't even know what they mean!!!

Back to Google searches I go...

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

TWENTY-TWO LETTERS?? Oh no, I hope no one's going to get mad...

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚊𝚗 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚜𝚘𝚗. @BigfootsBully]

yeah. you missed like. . . ( counts on fingers. ) 22 letters.

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

Honestly, I'm surprised it took her this long to make an article about it.

That would be very helpful! A crash course in gay! Haha. If that's okay to joke about.
Some of them sound like they mean the same thing, so I must be missing some info.

[* / 𝙣𝙖𝙤𝙢𝙞 ! @totemwriter]

[⋱ Nick Barthwal. @editcrialist]

Thank you, guru of the gays!
