I would think so. Unless there’s another bald man with musk beef lol

I hope you know you’re a gift to humanity 🤣

Yes sir, thank you sir. And this one is bailey’s, and this one is bailey’s a bit bigger, and this one is about as close as you can get to baileys without gettin’ your eyes wet.

What a treasure trove of deep sea anus jokes I didn’t realize I needed in my life lmao

100%, they’re just incorrect human made labels.

Still in the modern english speaking world, those words carry racial undertones. Especially in the US.

It was during a class discussion, definetly thoughtless on my part. She didnt shame me, just explained how she felt about it. It was an english course so exploring the connotations of language was pretty typical.

I think of it as a moment that really thought me about the complexities of every day language & the impact of cultural tropes (like the light good, dark bad concept).

Idk lol I’m not trying to change your mind, I think you can use the phrase & will probably never get any push back for it. I guess this is mostly an explination why I used that example in the way above comment. For me, it’s a charged phrase that can be percieved as derogatory.

Definetly your choice to make.

I don’t mostly because I have a ‘replays in the middle of the night’ memory of using it in conversation with a black woman & she let me know exactly how it made her feel. Idk sometimes offense isn’t about history it’s just about how the random person next to you feels & the phrase isn’t so important to me that I can’t express the same thing in different words.

This term is trickier since it is entangled with Europe’s long standing use of blackness to denote wrongness. & that whole dichotomy of good=white bad=black is an often talked about source of controversy in literature.

As the wiki says “It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares”. In the case of the quote the fault is being black. Both pot and kettle are black.

Here is an article I found that did a good job delving into the topic. They end up agreeing the term is okay to use but also offer some alternative phrases that side step the potentially offensive phrasing. My fav was, “the wifi calling the narrator unreliable”.

Ah co-parenting with an ex can be super tricky. It sounds like at least a half win though, you aren’t in the same house any more :) congrats on the break up, I know getting out of toxic relationships takes it’s toll

& I get that the word is part of your vocabulary, I can’t change that, just encourage some reflection. It’s a term that’s been used against me so I’m perticularly sensitive to it. Here is a link to an article in case you or someone else is interested in the history of the term.

That’s fair. It’s definetly one of those offensive terms people use without necessarily thinking about, like “getting gyped” or “pot calling the kettle black”.

Knowing is half the battle & raising awareness is half of activism lol

I get that your anger probably comes from the frustration of a bad relationship. I also want to encourage you not to use bigoted terms. Just refering to them as your ex’s family, or ex’s fucked up family would have gotten a similar message across.

It really undermines your point, draws focus away from what youre trying communicate, & makes you look like a biased and unreliable narrator.

I hope that ex is out of your life & you’re in a happier place now.

I also find it to be a derogatory, distasteful, and bigoted term. I definetly think less of people I hear who use it, & hope eventually it will be dropped from the cultural conciousness like other bigoted terms.

It’s a way to police what “whiteness” should be, and is a term I’ve only ever heard from well off and judgemental people.

Honestly I’d be down for one of the debates to be replaced by a big wresting match. VP candidates can tag in. Everyone gets silly outfits. Their one liners all have to do with policy. It would probably get a much bigger turnout than traditional debates lmao

Edited to add: it would probably better reflect current american politics too. Two actors play fighting in a gimmicky show. Sadly tho this match would be able to effect your daily life

Do you ever think about how confused far future archeologists will be when they dig up old museums with all these fossils from wildly varying time periods?

Would they infer that it must have been some museum? Will they think those life forms coexisted? Will they blame it on aliens? Will they be capable of reading the engraved plaques if those survive in the wreckage?

Would a monstrosity like the one pictured above confuse them?

Super cool. I can’t imagine having to explain what happened to the lab manager after burning through the lab floor and a few feet of gravel and sand below lol

But what about the stoned geology guys? the stoned stone lovers, the geology ganjis, the crystal cannabis connoisseurs, the rock lovin rockers, the dabbing dirt collectors?

Super interesting compound. I wish somehow I could watch footage of strengs experiments. I bet some of those explosions would be really cool in slow mo lol

It worked for me lol.

It’s the one where he’s leaned forward really far (bent at the waist with his butt out) talking into a bunch of mics. Likely to keep his suit from having unflattering lines in the front.

Another option would be to make some sapphic posts in one of the more general lgbt communities, i bet youd see some wlw come out of the wood work :)

Start things from within a more active community & once theres enough engagement try and get some migration to a sapphic sepcific community
