And its status in America, and how people are being taught not to speak that way (i.e. ASK instead of AX) etc.
My lecturer is going round the tables one by one asking why it has a lower status and why it’s looked down on.

Wow. Example fail. When Scots *were* being oppressed by the English, the language was forbidden. Also,...

microaggressions:
Every online form or application where the default is set to “male,” even in cases when gender should not even be an issue and in cases where the majority of people filling out the form would be female. Don’t even get me started on the lack of nonbinary options to click.

So, I might be exhibiting some of my photos at some point in the not-too-distant. I need to get a scanner sorted out for once and for all; that will help greatly. As will putting the exposed films in for development.
But once those things are done, I will likely need some help in choosing what to put in to show. I hope that you, my dear interweb friends, will help me with that. I’ll upload...

We're Telling: Age 21, UK →
weretelling:
I’ve never had what could be called a normal or easy life. To be brief: I lived with a misogynist, sociopathic father who was an emotional abuser. I have a mild disability which has always served to hinder me in life. I got bullied frequently throughout school and occasionally in employment. As a…

Interesting thought experiment.

You Didn't Win
It would be remiss of me to neglect mentioning this here on tumblr.
The day after the Budget, Gideon ‘George’ Osborne was on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4. I heard an excerpt of his self-satisfied blarting as part of the 9am headlines. I cannot for the life of me recall what he said before, or after as my head went asplodey, but I will not forget him saying “… the...
