Help me!

I was endowed with the gift of time travel.

I am having a difficult time getting out of the Dark Ages and back to the current century.

I have been notified by the all-powerful "them/they" that not until Utah adds gender preference to the hate-crime law and raises animal cruelty to a possible felony conviction can I return.

I know. I know. Some of you feel it is a blessing that I am trapped. What you do not see is that you are here, too.
