Trigger warning triggers
The latest idiot Trigger Warning: If you're giving out non-allergenic treats for Halloween, paint a pumpkin "teal" and put it on your porch. "Teal" is apparently some kind of blue or green color.
First, there's no such thing as non-allergenic. Everything is deadly according to the allergy freaks. Food, water, air, smells, light, dark, noise, silence, thinking, not thinking... all deadly.
Second, what if you're allergic to paint? I am. Fresh paint is the only thing that gives me asthmatic symptoms.
For me the warning would be the trigger.
Sidenote: Just realized there's a whole fucking bunch of PAINT on this page of the blog. This entry itself, and this and this. Meaningful? Probably not.
