First, welcome to bsc_snark! :)

Do you mind putting this behind a cut, though? It's a bit long otherwise. Sorry.

As for the "special" thing, don't get me started. It bothers me that people think they're being progressive when they use that term ( ... )

I am super sorry about the cut! When it comes to computers I'm Claudia taking a spelling test. (ETA- I went back and fixed the cut and some other stuff and I'm so proud of myself, I'd give me a gold star)

As for the "deaf" qualification- my dad and I get into arguments about what it means. Dad staunchly calls me "hearing impaired", but I'm legally deaf, so I go by that term. There's different laws about deaf status that are measured by decibel, so that's what I go by.

excellent snark! jessi is such a condescending little shit in this book. the books where they deal with disabilities are the fuckimg worst&are absolutely infuriating. you're totally killing this book&i love it. awesome balance of humour&rage. <3 i can't wait for part two!

My daughter is autistic. She's high on the spectrum. Don't even get me started on how autism ends up treated.

"kristy&the secret of susan" is probably the BSC book i hate the most. i can't read that one. even reading the summary on the back made me cry when i got a copy last christmas. haven't read that book in like, 17 years now, don't know if i could ever stomach it again. really sickening considering ann apparently worked with autistic children. THAT fact scares me, to be honest.

*hugs to you*

I serious doubt Ann was ever a teacher. I think she trumped up her position. Maybe she was a substitute teacher's aid or something. She gets so much wrong, and is just plain condescending about all of it.

Jessi starts off the chapter bragging about how she’s super good at languages and became practically bilingual on a weeklong trip to Mexico--Yep, this is what we've been talking about in other replies. God forbid these girls not be wonderful at something. And let me explain something there...I could absolutely believe somebody picking up additional languages if they grew up learning those languages/being taught those languages but to be that damn good after a week? Please ( ... )

10. Chump
9. Chumpette
8. Yours
7. Up
6. Pimpmobile
5. Bite
4. My
3. Shiny
2. Daffodil
1. Ass

Buffalo Bill in a BSC post (yes even a snark post), is making me lol way too hard.
