Cast it as 'unhinged' as you like I am just replying to your wrong posts LJ. I would do it with anybody else but no one else's posting are as wrong as yours lol.
Gyac casting as anything out of the ordinary is also bollocks.

Will concede that I do sometimes post unfinished concepts so as to prove or refute, but I rarely do so from a position of absolute certainty, something which the honourable gentleman above possesses considerable quantities of

Patricia Brake, versatile British actress probably best known for playing Fletch's daughter in Porridge or as Eth opposite Ian Lavender and Jimmy Edwards in the TV revival of The Glums.
Come on. There's no way any of this — the people's names, the names of the "TV programs" — is real. Very well done parody, though.

Porridge is a gritty prison drama, it's like the UK equivalent of The Wire

this is in actual response to posts itt - where the hell do people use the word 'tankie' irl? is it a british university thing?
― the cat needs to start paying for its own cbd (map), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:10 (two years ago) link
It's twitter, or anarchists but you won't find that here.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:27 (two years ago) link
are these anarchists also just online personalities though.
i'm having trouble imagining anyone uttering the word 'tankie' in a room together.
― the cat needs to start paying for its own cbd (map), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:32 (two years ago) link
i have uttered it IRL but I hang with anarchists so ... ?
― sarahell, Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:35 (two years ago) link
earlier this week -- I was hanging w/my friend Jenny who was telling me that near the end of the Anarchist Bookfair, there was a table of tankies and there was some kind of drama that I wasn't entirely clear on because neither of us had gone, but her husband did and told her about this.
― sarahell, Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:38 (two years ago) link
thank you for clarifying this, i'm glad they exist and cause drama with anarchists irl, though i think i sympathize more with the anarchists.
― the cat needs to start paying for its own cbd (map), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:48 (two years ago) link
Tankies attended an Anarchist book fair? Oh no! xp
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:50 (two years ago) link
a table of tankies
iirc that is the correct plural noun for a group of tankies
― thinkmanship (sleeve), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:51 (two years ago) link
xyzzz, apparently so! Jenny and I lamented missing the excitement.

actually, it was the tankies that got sonned by the anarchists lol
― sarahell, Sunday, 12 June 2022 18:05 (two years ago) link
lolol. I also hear 'tankie' (and have used it) irl, but I also hang out with anarchists (I'm a goddamned commie but have anarchist sympathies).
― emil.y, Sunday, 12 June 2022 18:08 (two years ago) link
I definitely use it in conversation but that’s because I fucking hate tankies and Maoist facefuck types so so much, just absolutely empty and nihilistic ideology

anywhere people expressing gratitude in a cloyingly affected way, probably
the whole concept of "irl", i spent like two years only talking to one other person irl so... idk. strict divides between online and in-person discourse don't work for me.
mostly it's like _jargon_, leftist _jargon_, i mean where the hell do people use the word "cisheteronormativity" in person, right? well, anywhere you're in person with me, because it's a word that's relevant to my life, i use that word a lot. just because leftist debates are largely irrelevant to people outside leftist circles doesn't mean those disputes are, like, these bitter fights over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin or some shit that's presumably removed from reality.
― Kate (rushomancy), Monday, 13 June 2022 03:37 (two years ago) link
hi! it was a question. i don't hear it in my red state. it's my experience that people are very different on the internet than they are irl. ohmygosh i used irl. sorry not sorry. anyway if you read the exchange past my post maybe you would have seen that someone provided some clarity for me. not everything is about you. thanks!
― the cat needs to start paying for its own cbd (map), Monday, 13 June 2022 03:45 (two years ago) link
i'm not sure what this is in reference to but i'm feeling a little attacked.
i'm sorry if i overreacted with my sarcastic tone but your response to me is out of line in a few ways. of course i understand that there isn't a strict divide between online and in-person discourse. but i think you know that and you're eager to mischaracterize me.
and then to take the term 'tankie' and generalize about jargon, like 'tankie' isn't very different from a word like 'cisheteronormativity,' completely missing the the fact that 'tankie' is a derogatory term applied to communists by other people... like, you're so eager to get from what i said to ... you... that you don't mind losing a few contextual frames to speed up the process.
anyway, if you have a problem with me, you can tell me straight up instead of twisting my words to your own ends ok?
