The utter narrowness though. 'Coffee', 'free time', 'favourite song' as gold standard requirements for creating something.

Love how all those EPIC CLAPBACK viral stories spend so many words explaining just how funny and true they are. The professor didn’t miss a beat!! We all laughed until we choked and now we’re all dead!!

My favorite one is where he's in the crowd at a Grand Funk concert incognito and shows up Mark Farner with an improvised guitar solo.

there's a larger phenomenon of clickbait articles that beat you over the head with how funny the thing you're about to read/watch is, at which point, if it actually were funny (which it never is anyway) they have already sucked the life out of it

I understand the cynicism but literal statements are good for, you know, children
― mh, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 02:23 (six years ago) link
the problem for me is that it puts the words "rapists" and "drug dealers" right next to the word "latino/a", day after day week after week. yeah there's a "not" there but it's still defining that category in relation to racists' ugliest thoughts instead of something of positive
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 14 February 2018 02:28 (six years ago) link
affirmative positive statements are better but decrying the negative ones are essential
― mh, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 02:30 (six years ago) link
using "latino(a)" vs "latinx" suggests a lack of responsible preparation also telling teenagers who follow islam that they aren't terrorists as their defining quality but hey

I hate to say it but a significant portion of the country still has no idea that latinx is a thing, even in that group, unless it's really wired-in teens or involved adults? I feel like my teacher friends would know but it's still seems very inconsistently known
