Taking a break from the #doomscrolling (stickycomics.com)
4 panel comic strip. Woman is mad looking at her phone. "I need a social media detox," she thinks" In the next panel she sees a flyer for Wood Shop and thinks, "Woodworking! Sounds perfect." In the 3rd panel she works a table saw. In the last panel, she looks proudly on what she's built, a guillotine.

All a straight white man has to do is grow a beard and put on jeans and flannel, and voila: he has automatic Blue Collar Credibility, even if he actually grew up with a trust fund.
