snark; You Kids These Days
I FUCKING KNEW IT. I called it the moment I saw this fake-ass story. I am getting real sick of people assuming everything revolves around their empty little meme culture. And I won't even get into the disgustingly common flaws in critical thinking that this whole story betrays. -_-

snark
If you're trying to prove that humor "doesn't need to be offensive in order to be funny," maybe posting 400 consecutive Hot Pockets and Connect Four memes was *not* the most persuasive means.
I'll stick with Mel Brooks laughing at people falling into open sewers, because he at least only uses the same joke once a film, but thanks all the same, kiddo. :P
It tells you a lot about me that my main reaction to this beautiful meme was "Huh, I wonder if 'in a metallurgical' is an error, or just a foreign usage I'm not familiar with?"
I am a living VT100 monitor. There is nothing in my world but words, really.
more day job "torment"; food
Now it's one fondue restaurant after another. It's a damn good thing every American fondue restaurant I've ever seen has been a bunch of overpriced expense-account corporate-franchise featured-in-airline-magazines horseshit (tell me I am wrong), or I'd be suffering temptation something fierce.
more day job "torment"; food
Dammit dammit dammit dammit.
(Or maybe verdomme verdomme verdomme verdomme?)
mourning; writing
I was reminded while reading her bibliography and a related quote that Ursula K. LeGuin didn't really kick off her writing career in earnest until she was 35.
I'm 42. And Peg and I were writing Five Glasses of Absinthe, the first work of mine I'd really consider *remotely* serious or professional, by 2007.
There's no shame in starting slow and nothing stopping me from here. Thank you, Aunt Ursula, for that final gift. I hope you are somewhere, somehow, and it's nice.
general pissiness :)
Geez, I'd wanna just smack the grin off his face, but if he's an elemental I'd probably just get joy all over my hands. Ewwww. >_____<
Yeah. I think I nailed it. That's my mood today. I want to be the villain's main henchcritter in a 1980's "girly" cartoon. Wielding a huge color-draining laser that turns everything into... er... *peers out window* Seattle.
general pissiness :)
For example, while it is in no way an example of stupidity, the very sight of the tags on this actually quite lovely piece of artwork make me want to caption it with "THREE MONTHS LATER, MR. MASKYFACE WOULD DIE OF A BUTTERFLY-TRANSMITTED PRION DISEASE. JOY KILLS. ALSO, HIS BOYFRIEND LEFT HIM FOR A SKI INSTRUCTOR."
trivial gripe
Grrr, I hate this "don't @ me" bullshit, especially after political posts. If you want one-way communication, don't use Twitter. Use a fucking bullhorn, because it's obviously what you really want.
Or better yet, if you really don't want anyone to contradict your brilliant (and by brilliant I mean CAPS👏LOCK) insights, find a nice closet and gibber at a decapitated Richard M. Nixon plushie for 3 or 4 hours. It's what I do!

kink stuff
Oh, and I got that shit HORRIBLY several of the times I came out as a mind-control fetishist, because Certain Eager Activist Types (*coughiblamethepatriarchyblogcoughfuckyoucough*) could not even begin to imagine anybody could enjoy that kink with any motivation besides abusing and controlling women. Never mind that I'm mostly a SUB. So yeah, that kind of "you're making argument X/are in group X, therefore your motive must be Y, like all of them" shit does not sit at all well with me.
I got that shit as a Christian. I got that shit as an anti-Christian. I got that shit as a furry. I got that shit as an anarchist. I am sure as not fuck putting up with that kind of lazy, simplistic thought for another round, no matter how in-line I am with the general ideology of the person who actually thought this shitpost was profound. If you really think you can assume somebody's motivations purely from the side they're taking... eh, I'm out of clever. Just fuck off and go away. :|
What really pisses me off is that line "is an attempt to deny." I fucking hate it, hate it, HATE IT when either side's political propaganda relies on assuming every single person who partakes in a similar act of speech has a similar motivation.
I am becoming a big fan of this whole "woke in form but not in praxis" genre of memes. I think I'll start a collection. And print them out. And ram them up somebody's woke little nose someday. That someone will probably be a beautiful young enby with unnaturally colored hair, and please be reassured, I derive so very little satisfaction from that fact. ;__;
I love how this "expanding brain" meme STILL manages to exclude any kind of nuance after four fucking attempts-- especially the possibility that _some_ attempts to say "they didn't even have a concept of transgender, let's give this some actual context and detail" could be helpful and supportive, and some could be harmful and reactionary, based on the ACTUAL FUCKING CONTENT. You do realize these four options are not mutually exclusive, yes, my oh so very young allies?
snark; social justice
(um... conservative, rather -- see, now I understand why people use this daft standard of communication -- it's so goddamn distracting and hard to read, it conceals lesser offenses like typos :) )
