q log #116: I think the big reason I hate the R slur obsession, beyond my actual reasoning, is that you can tell people who say it kick their feet and giggle a little out of pride from saying a bad word. Its really childish.
They think it’s a magic “win the argument” card. Like all they have to...
q log 115: angel molting seasons. Their feathers are like soft glass: you can rake them into piles and tumble in, and watch the world from a sea of lenses
q log #114: I dont know how to explain to you that you should care about other people. At this point its not merely a political disagreement, but a fundamental divide on what it means to live in a society.
The ignore feature is really nice because I could be having all kinds of hate, abuse, or unpleasant people trying to convert me to conform to their way of thinking, but with it, I never ever have to see what they said, and I can remain blissfully unaware of the harassment. I dont even know how...
So its okay to use a slur if the target isnt human? Doesn't matter whatever use case you wanna argue, if you are using it as a denigrating term, youre perpetuating the harm thw term does. Now stay off my page.
Like let's be real, the only reason you are using the word is because it gets a reaction out of people like me. Meanwhile, I dont use the word because it has fucking killed people I've known. Dont be an insensitive jerk, and maybe respect the person's wishes who's page youre on. And maybe we...
Im against the term because there more clever words you could use, and it unfairly lumps in people like myself or my sibling or many others I know and love under the banner of "too stupid to be allowed in proper society" which is ableism, and i hate it when people act out ableist ideas like...
If you use "retardation" as an insult or a label to denigrate another person, you are not using the definition of "slowing the progress of something", you are using it in the sense of "those with lesser intellectual capability are inferior". It attacks innocent disabled people by lumping them...
What part of "that is not an acceptable term on my page" is hard to get and respect? I'd how much you feel justified, not here it ain't. And let's continue to the rest of the definitions (Oxford English Dictionary):

psychomotor retardation

q log #120: dont use the r slur, especially not on my page. C'mon, we are writers and authors, we can do better than an outdated and ableist medical term from the 90s.
Dinosaur vocalization is a new field of study bc its only recently that things like fossilized vocal cords can be found, studied, replicated and modeled. We know hadrosaurs had a trumpeting call, but for various raptors, its been largely unknowable until recently, due to poor preservation of...
Oh im sorry, do you have a problem with sharing resources and the profits of your labor equally? I didnt know you were anti-workers rights. Play nice, kiddos.
Oh, and can we refrain from using the r-slur on my page? I dont want to get into a discussion about its political correctness, I just dont want to relive my traumas every time someone wants to put someone down by comparing their intellectual capability with intellectual disabilities, insinuating...
q log #118: so it turns out dinosaurs had very bird like calls. There is still hope for a chirping beeping t Rex or raptor rather than monstrous behemoth
