This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don’t know anyone “unhoused” who has ever been offended at the word “homeless”. It just seems silly to me.

If I were the conspiratorial type, I'd say it's about police language
