nope.

everybody who clutches pearls merely because of its appearance/existence (as distinguished from, e.g., being spitefully screamed at a woman) should be force-fed (or the reading equivalent) Inga Muscio's book. (the title is THAT WORD.)

filtering is a funny thing. i've always assumed i got good at it because dad carelessly dropped a profanity fairly often at his house and mum strictly limited frustrated exclamations to "crikey" and "darn it" at hers.
but i wonder if kids with bi+lingual upbringing (i mean at the level of seamlessly switching from one…

wow, i heard it from fellow first-graders after they'd been spanked. montessori…

we could torture its pronunciation - something like "n'GAARdly" - and then only pseudo-literate drama queens would raise a stink.

still - and not a defense - "old enough to know better" is kind of the exact opposite of "nothin' but a number"…

Aw yeah! Rockford Files… Hill Street Blues… CHiPs… MAGNUM

well put. bonus for "anomie" - something i've been imposing on myself since a few turning points in teenhood, and only recently (via Jonathan Haidt in particular) thought of in terms of fluctuations & confusions in society-as-entity-of-sorts…

this touches on why i'm unimpressed by most discussion/claims of (e.g.) "gaydar" - seems that the actual value of such "senses" is for non-heteros living in a hostile/suppressive environment who are essentially forced to be careful who they're intimate (on any level) with. now that i think about it again, there's not…

if you can find it in your cold black hearts to forgive the gush: i just want to thank you folks for always being the effervescent antidote to all fuck-i-need-bleach comment sections.combined.

well, it's not everybody. some places the sex hangups are dismissed and the only focus is the racial foot-in-mouth. from the first responder to the Atlantic's piece:
