Stereotype Fail and Shatmanapalooza

My racism/minority groups class is depressing me and not due to subject matter, either. I really thought that in a class that has an entire segment of the textbook that addresses the fallacy of "some of my best friends are..." that I wouldn't receive a comment that stated that "over-the-top portrayals of gays is all right because one of my best

Books make me happy! The one booksale benefited the local library system so I spared a moment to think of all the librarians on my flist as soon as I saw it and had to shop. Tucson, as part of budget cuts, is trying to cut all the libraries but the citizens are really saying "no fucking way". There were so many people at the booksale for the library. The other booksale was for a local animal shelter and it had a bunch of good finds, too.

I really do, too, on the keeping a low profile. I'm just too close to it and I still can't deal very well. I get the shakes whenever I see a photo and I immediately want to cry. So, I admit that I reacted more strongly to that bit of nastiness than I would've had it been posted any other day. Normally, I would attempt a bit of polite conversation about why the rant and nastiness wasn't appreciated but I just posted something to the effect of "OH FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR STEREOTYPES AND STOP USING RELIGION TO BE A BIGOTED CUNTWAD". I also slapped a shitload of links at them. But, I also know that you should, at least, attempt to have a rational discussion. I just can't, not about this.

I admit that doucherockets came out of an amalgamation of two different insults as I was trying to yell at someone in traffic and it's really stuck with me since :D. I call people "kumquats" too because I sort of yelled that instead of "cuntwads" at a bunch of idiot drivers. Oh driving, taking me to new depths of jerk-ness.

Eh, it's hard to have a rational discussion with irrational people. :(

I sometimes call my cats kumquats when they're being particularly ridiculous. It's a fun word to say.

It really, really is. I hadn't realized the level of batshit this person had. They posted very rarely and I guess there was a reason why? IDEK

I love that word. I use it all the time when I try to insult people because I love their expressions as they try to figure out just how I insulted them and/or if they should be insulted. I find that it slows the crazy down, a wee bit, at least IRL.
