@Sirencrow amatonormativity is the idea that the only way to self-fulfillment in interpersonal relationships is through a single exclusive romantic partnership with exactly one other person. it's often paired with heteronormativity, and explicitly excludes everything from polyamoury to platonic relationships
this wasn't a shitpost btw i actually did get distracted and accidentally write an essay on this subject. given i have approximately nil understanding of what even constitutes an 'essay' i have no idea how it happened

fragility in vocabulary, racism
A handy guide to common euphemisms when media sources are too fragile to use the word "racism"
- "backlash to political correctness"
- "racial anxiety"
- "racial tension"
- "economic anxiety"
- "race-based discrepancies" in loans, policing, health care, etc.
-"racial stress"
My favorite example is: "Study shows Trump voters motivated by cultural anxiety." The paper goes on to define "cultural anxiety" as "anti-black and anti-immigrant sentiment" 😂
