I think that Disney teaches questionable values to impressionable young children by giving the villains the most awesome songs.

i have no problem with pointing out that anyone of any gender can be an abuser, rapist, pedophile etc because that’s absolutely true.
but the problem with always emphasizing “yes but it happens to everyone, not just women (or people of colour, or trans* people, etc)!” is that it depoliticizes the issue.
violence is not an accident, it is reflective of social power relations...

If I like you and I’m comfortable around you, I’m going to get weird.
amatnemo:
I don’t understand people who think drunk texts are annoying. I think drunk texts are so cute. Just think of it this way, you’re who that person is thinking of when their brain isn’t even functioning properly, you’re who that person is thinking of when they can’t even form coherent sentences. You’re on that person’s mind when they have the motor skills of an infant, that’s pretty...

As usual, she nails how I feel in her response.
I’m sorry because I know how much people look up to you, how much they admire you, love you, call you strong, but that at the end of the day, your life is still shit and you’re putting on the brave face for yourself just as much as everyone else. It’s scary as fuck. If something goes wrong, you’re fucked. There is no one...

Anonymous asked: thank you for your posts; I grew up in (multiple) poor and abusive households in a poor area, so my education was... not great, I guess? and to this day I have a lot of trouble with concentration and memory as a result, and I've never been able to go to college because of money (I have to work as much as possible). I feel terrible sometimes because of it, specifically grammar/writing etc,...
Anonymous asked: Education is not equally available to all people, and even those with access don't always have the means to be successful. It makes me extremely bitter and angry to see someone completely disrespect your past and history and the struggles you've had to overcome to get where you are today. I'm sorry love. On a completely different note, am I the only one bothered by someone being...
thedamnqueenofhell asked: Hey, from a future English teacher, there is such thing as grammar privilege, and all the anons attacking your for it can go away. Also, one of the things we were taught in Theories of Teaching Writing is that grammar isn't all that important when looking at papers - yes, we still need to teach it, but it should not take precedence over what our students are saying, because of things like...

:3 I love you all, so, SO much.
my-bachelorette-pad asked: I never understood why people correct others' grammar on the internet. 1) Unless it's an academic essay, what is your point? and 2) not everyone is from an English speaking country and even if they were, not everyone has the same access to education but apparently, correct grammar is more important than actually understanding that. Fucking assholes.
lovely-lace-and-fishnets asked: Hi. I totally agree with what you said about grammar policing. Further, I studied communication & linguistics, & one of the most interesting things I learned is the fluidity of language. There is no such thing as "correct" or "proper" language; there is only language agreed-upon by the majority in individual groups--different professions, cultural groups, genders,...
Anonymous asked: Even if your grammar is incorrect, most people will know what you mean by context. Being a butt about grammar just makes you an elitist.
Anonymous asked: you have an internet connection and enough time to spend time on tumblr looking at videos of cats and annoying people = you have no excuse for not learning basic grammar NOW. ffs how about LEARNING from being corrected?? being willfully ignorant does not make you edgy, it makes you an asshole.
Anonymous asked: Are you seriously spending your time on the internet complaining about grammar privilege? A real credit to the forest you are.

Stop Correcting People
They’re privileged attitude really effects there views on you’re grammar, doesn’t they?
Some of couldn’t afford to spend the time studying for English class because we were too busy figuring out how to survive. There’s nothing nice about the term “natzi” even if you put “grammar” in front of it. Get off your expensive high horse and stop...
