Going to just jump in and use this as an opportunity to remind everyone that "slur reclamation" is an *INDIVIDUAL* thing and that you *CANNOT RECLAIM A SLUR ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE*. That's just "I veto your personal boundaries" with extra steps.

There's a like 15 year slur cycle where queer terms alternates between being reclaimed and reslurred, it's really surreal when you start paying attention to it.

super high guy on the street looks at me and goes—where am I? Is this the end of the rainbow? and I said I don’t know man, that’s the US Capitol over there And he just goes “oh shit then no”

what if everyone used mutable keywords all of the time while putting triggering content on my feed constantly so i don't have to unfollow them so i can use social media without raising my stress levels
