Wokeness in Michigan: A Snarky Guide to the Ridiculous
TL;DR: Wokeness in Michigan has reached absurd levels, with people taking offense at everything from the color of their socks to the way they use their forks. This article takes a satirical look at the silliest examples of Wokeness in the Great Lakes State.
Woke-ified Weather Reports
In the hallowed halls of Michigan's weather studios, it's no longer just about predicting precipitation. Meteorologists are now expected to announce the pronouns of every snowflake and thunderstorm. Be ready to hear, “This weekend, we're expecting they/them showers with a side of zie/zir lightning.”
Cancel Culture for Casseroles
The once-beloved tradition of bringing casseroles to potlucks has been deemed “problematic” in Michigan. Why? Because casseroles are apparently a symbol of white privilege. Sorry, church ladies, your tuna noodle surprise is now considered a microaggression.
Ridiculously Woke Casserole Alternatives:
- Non-Binary Noodles Bake
- Pronoun-Positive Potato Puff
- Genderqueer Gelatin Delight
Pronoun Police on Patrol
Michigan has become a haven for pronoun police, who are quick to call out anyone who uses the wrong words to refer to someone's gender identity. Even seemingly innocuous statements like “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen” can now land you in hot water.
Polite Pronoun Punishments:
- Misgendering Meter Readings (gasp!)
- Non-Binary Barking Tickets
- They/Them Thumbernails on Facebook
Rainbow Ribbons for Everyone
To show their support for the LGBTQIA+ community, many Michigan counties have mandated that every building, business, and vehicle must display a rainbow ribbon. Unfortunately, this has led to some comical incidents, like the time a local grocery store had to recall their “Pride Pickles” because they featured purple and brown stripes instead of the traditional rainbow colors.
Michigan Rainbow Ribbon Rule Book:
- No misplacing the magenta stripe
- Rainbows must be at least six feet tall
- Violators will be forced to sing “God Save the Queen” at the next town council meeting
Intersectional Intersectionality
In Michigan, Wokeness has reached the dizzying heights of “intersectional intersectionality.” This means that every issue is now a combination of multiple oppressions. For example, the removal of a Confederate statue could be seen as a victory for African Americans, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and environmentalists (because the statue was blocking a tree).
Intersectional Interplay Bingo:
- Oppressionopoly: The game where every box is a social justice issue
- Intersectionality Olympics: Compete to see who can connect the most marginalized identities
- Wokeopardy: A game show where the questions are all about intersectional oppressions
Woke-washing in the Workplace
Michigan businesses are tripping over themselves to prove how woke they are. From mandatory diversity training sessions to pronoun pins on employee badges, it's a race to see who can be the most “inclusive.” Some companies have even gone so far as to rename their janitorial staff as “equity engineers.”
Woke Workplace Awards:
- Purity Test of the Year
- Most Performative Diversity Initiative
- Cancel Culture Cop of the Month
If You Know, You Know…
Why did the Eco-Snout get arrested at the farmer's market? Because he was caught sniffing up all the organic produce without paying!
Woke-a-palooza in the Great Lakes State
In conclusion, Wokeness in Michigan has taken on a life of its own, leading to a bizarre and often comical array of social justice initiatives. From weather reports with pronouns to rainbow ribbon mandates, it's clear that the Great Lakes State has become a breeding ground for the absurd. But hey, at least we can all laugh about it…as long as we don't misgender a snowflake.
As Eco-Snouts: strive to embrace inclusivity and social consciousness in Michigan, it's crucial to recognize the fine line between genuine progress and performative Wokeness. Let's work together to create a society that is both just and sensible, where we celebrate diversity without resorting to ridiculousness. Remember, the true measure of our progress is not how many pronouns we can recite but how we treat each other with respect and compassion.
