FASHION OVER FASCISM!!!

“They” is not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in use since the 13th century. And has been used by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen. “Them" is also not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in constant usage since before the 12th century. Chaya Raichik is a dangerous, bigoted fool.

Tell your favorite artist, how much you appreciate their work. It can make a huge difference! 🎨✨💙
