1. If you were President of the United States, what would be your top 3 things that you would like to change?
The President has limited powers unless Congress is with them. They do have the power to grant reprieves and pardons, so I'd go on a pardoning spree and free thousands of people from prison.
Policies that I would back but that would be difficult to get done:
Universal Basic Income, major initiatives to fight global warming, free college and student loan debt relief.
2. If you had to survive off of one specific type of food, what would it be and why?
Galettes, because I just ate part of one that my roommate made and it was the best thing I've ever eaten. It's pastry wrapped loosely around delicious filling.
3. If your life were a play, what would it be (tragedy, comedy, drama, etc.)?
A lesbian comedy.
4. What community is your favorite and why?
I love my little corner of the fanfic community. If this is referring to DW communities, it seems like few of them are active these days. I likefancake which has themed fanfic recs.
5. When did you realize you were finally an adult and how did it make you feel?
I honestly don't remember. I enjoy reading things online about how traditional markers of adulthood are largely out of reach for my generation (home ownership, for example) due to our low wages and high student debt and a certain nihilism about the future.
Sometimes when I'm doing organizing work I have this moment of oh, I'm the adult in the room. Meaning, I have more experience than some of these folks, and the ability to be a leader and get things done. A certain sense of responsibility but also confidence. That part feels nice, this sense of oh, this isn't my first rodeo.
