This reminded me of two things.

This is cute except he just farted.

[cisyphus-deactivated20140730]

Slurs are not oppressive because they are offensive, they are oppressive  because slurs by nature of being slurs draw upon certain power dynamics  to remind their target of his/her/their vulnerability in a certain relation to power and as an extension of that, to threaten violence and exploitation of that vulnerability.

I feel like a lot of privileged people see slurs as just, like, bad words. (I know this is how I saw them before they got applied to me). They’re words which are impolite or exceedingly rude to use, which are bad because some people don’t like it when you use them. And it just so happens that in the case of slurs, people don’t like them because of their historical context which makes them a ‘special’ kind of bad. 

Except that’s not it at all. 

When someone uses a slur that can be directed at you it’s terrifying. There’s a moment of “oh god, am I safe?”. To be part of an oppressed group is to know that there are people out there who can and will hurt you. And when someone uses a slur you are suddenly confronted with the very real possibility that they are one of those people. And you have to ask yourself “am I safe?”. 

Slurs aren’t bad just because they cause offense, they’re bad because they create terror. If you wouldn’t casually whip out a knife and brandish it at someone, don’t use slurs either. Because being on the receiving end is a very similar experience.

“Karen” is mocking someone’s power not making reference to their vulnerability on another “axis.”

My mother had a budgie when she was a little girl. He was called Terry and could say "Merry Christmas" but he couldn't pronounce it properly and said something that sounded more like "Terry Chris-Chris." I never knew him but he is my guardian angel.

I'm getting this weird feeling because it looks just like my ferret.

[echoclectus]

I met a cute dog. He let me pet him and he wagged his tail a bit so I think he liked me.

dreamed that kindergarten nap was called sleep class and everybody went to sleep including the teacher. if you were awake it would get a little bit foggy outside and grey and cloudy, and these guys would start approaching the classroom from behind the tree line (forgive my shitty phone drawing)

and they were at least a story tall, some of them were taller, you could see their legs over the trees. they would approach very slowly. this one (the one i drew) had a name for some reason, his name is kick.

before i was totally awake my brain conjured a meme of a bunch of these guys approaching from the treeline and a child watching from the window with the caption “when you the only one awake in sleep class 😂😳😏”
