Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Me: I actually like to use women's deodorant because the stuff for men dries out my skin and smells like harsh chemicals

[chronicbitchsyndrome]

when people say "autism is normalized now" what they mean is it's now acceptable to be an autistic who is employable and can learn neuroconforming social skills

[neeetsocks-deactivated20191026]

no language should be mocked other than french

[gareauxtrains]

Birds is “oiseaux” in French.

No letter is pronunced the way it should.

And there are seven of them.

[teaboot]

ITS PRONOUNCED “WAZO” AND YES, I WILL DIE MAD ABOUT IT

[judgejudyofficial]

oiseaux hits every vowel in the french alphabet and manages to only be pronounced with 2 goddamn syllables

[genderfluidintake]

got vowels coming out the oiseaux

[boosyboo9206]

This will never not be funny and I will never not reblog it.

"If they were really fascists, they'd be killing protesters."

And they are.

"If they were really fascists, it would be illegal to criticize them."

Greg Bovino openly stated that that's exactly what he wants.

[theconcealedweapon]

Also, they literally declare that opposition to fascism is terrorism. If you're anti-anti-fascist, then you're fascist.

[jarmes]

There’s also this undercurrent in this defense of modern American fascists that their words don’t mean anything, only their actions. You can’t call them fascist until they’ve won, and you can’t fight them until then because you can’t know their fascist until they’re all powerful

And that’s stupid. If someone says “I want to eliminate this ethnic group” that means they’re a germicidal monster who must be stopped through any means necessary. You don’t wait until theyve already created an ethnostate to criticize them

some of you people are so annoying. i mean me too but good lord

The fact the 2 colors removed from the rainbow flag were pink and teal, is kinda ironic given that those same colors can make a trans flag

[battlecrazed-axe-mage]

There are few color palettes my eyes love more than the original Gilbert Baker pride flag

Like dang, nailed it the first time, A+++ 0 notes

[emotionallychargedtowel]

I’m having déjà vu but I really don’t think I already posted this, so here goes.

Not only was Baker’s flag gorgeous, he had some fascinating and poignant ideas about what the colors he used symbolized.
