For Pride Month he posted a photo of himself in a rainbow turban. Then Barack Obama retweeted it




Barack Obama ✔ @BarackObama
You've got a lot to be proud of, Jiwandeep. Thanks for everything you do to make this country a little more equal. Turban looks great, by the way. Happy Pride Month, everybody!

I’m proud to be a bisexual bearded baking brain scientist. I feel fortunate to be able to express all these aspects of my identity, and will continue to work toward ensuring the same freedom for others. #PrideMonth #PrideTurban #LoveIsLove

As an aside, one of my customers is a Sikh dude who, by his own admission, is often too lazy to put on his turban. His solution is to put on a baseball cap, which he calls his “Dodgers dastar.”

He seems like a great guy, but I don't know what a Baking Brain Scientist is, either!

He’s a clinical psychology student who was on some sort of Great American BakeOff show. So a brain scientist who bakes, as most of you guessed.

There's a science to it



Unless we're talking about weed, where brains get baked in a different way. Special brownies could be baked and then they can bake your brain. Pay it forward.

But I suspect the baking is separate from being a brain scientist.

While we have some troglodytes here and there we are, in the main, quite gay-friendly.

he is more likely to get shot in the US than be killed in some country he isn't in.

And thought wearing Blistex made people drool.

So I'm not too sure I can afford you much credibility. "This is heartbreaking; I don't think people realize how much damage this causes..."
