Have a... er... not so shiny?

Pome, anyway.  I've been sitting on it for a few days because I know my first drafts are never quite right, but y'know, looking at it again today I think this one is.  So.

How to be a model minority

1. Measure words out in drops
through tight teeth --
reasonable, unthreatening,
blood-specked.
2. If you must explain, be grateful.
Bow. Even in writing

Love!

Don't say ow, say problematic.

Yes yes OH yes.

[shweta_narayan]

:) Thankyou!

Yes yes OH yes.

Thing is, I even see why phrasing why something's a problem is more productive, often, than just expressing pain. But the extent to which I silence myself on the latter because of that... MEH.

Also, this:

You may be trapped; they need a way out.

You're trapped, but they need a way out.

[shweta_narayan]

Which is to say, I guess, that I only tend to assume I get to speak up if what I say is productive for other people.

Layers and layers of this.

Well, if you personally kick the ass of someone who desperately deserves it, they blame everybody. If you get mad because people are annoying as shit, you're "irrational." I mean really...why are you so ANGRY???
