How many intersections can you cram in one feminist?
This is a worthwhile use of an individual’s time and government resources.
To be fair, it was a skunk.
A skunk with its head stuck in a jar. A skunk that’s probably already freaking out. A skunk that’s primed to spray anything it perceives as an attacker — including the person trying to help.
