Wait, what.
If you're into it, you can start by reading my posts about Mrs. Coco T, pleasure yourself to Super Close-Ups of Christopher Meloni, or really get to the root of how much of a mess I am by reading about Things That Shouldn't Give Me Anxiety, But Do. Or like, whatever. Just do whatever. I don't know how to do blogs. I don't know what you're here for.

(lots of stuff by gooneruk and allgrownsup cut out for brevity, sorry guys - see their original posts for the issue at hand!)
For the record, I pretty much agree with this guy on a lot of this. I don’t understand why people who oppose certain words or phrases get so hostile over the use.They only have as much power as you give them. It’s a little disheartening to see, but do I really give a fuck what an online thesaurus has to say about my gender? No, sorry. I would rather rage against actual problems in society in regards to womens safety and equal rights. Nobody is looking up synonyms for weaker and coming back from the website with a newfound, negative view on women.
For this one, I’m going to have to defer to the Super Awesome man who teaches me phonetics and historical linguistics every Tuesday and Thursday: Professor Jonathan Barnes. I’d probably take his advice on anything other than how to get a projector working properly. I posted this link back in January - it’s Prof Barnes talking on NPR about the word “faggot.” Although they’re clearly discussing a totally different word with a totally different history, I think what he says can be applied to basically any offensive term.
Shut up, you weaker sexed faggot. Just shut up.
PS, I’m seeing a show tomorrow in Somerville and may or may not go in a few hours early. Available for hang-outs if I do?
