I love these Google meme things; they’re clearly custom-made for those of us with too much time on our hands, who are excellent procrastinators, or both. This here is a fun photo one using Google images, and here are my results from googling the following. The rules are: no quotes, no cheating, pick […]
“One of the privileges of being normal and ordinary is a certain unconsciousness. When one is that which is taken as the norm in one’s social environment, one does not have to think about it. Often, in discussions about prejudice and discrimination I hear statements like these: “I don’t think of myself as heterosexual”; “I […]
It is a fallacy of liberal individualism that any behavior is purely personal. Whatever we do takes place in a social context and has an effect upon other human beings. To degrade someone, even with that person’s expressed consent, is to endorse the degradation of persons. It is to affirm that the abuse of persons […]

My brother and I thought it was hilarious to aggravate* my mother by calling him, respectively, “Milk” and “Maxipad.”** My dad, whose motives I shall not pretend to understand, […]
