I haven't heard the word queer used pejoratively in years. I stopped even thinking of it as a slur. I only see people self-identifying online with it anymore.

@garfiald @Zoe yeah on tumblr its a lot of terfs and like really naive teens who oppose it but they get really fucking mad when people self identify as it for a lot of reasons most of which are because they're lesbian separtists

@garfiald tumblr lgbt people militantly opposed to the word and who try and convince people to stop identifying it say shit like "queer is just the politically correct way to say lgbt so that's why I oppose it " unironically

For me, this is the best, maybe the only reason, we reclaim slurs. I call myself "gay" and "queer" so that when people tell me "What are you, gay?" (which they have more often than they've called me "queer") I can reply "yes, I am."

"Yes, I am a fucking queer."

For me, just typing that feels incredible. My oppressor's weapon falls limply from his hand. What he was menacingly waving just a second ago has turned to rainbow dust, and now he's all covered in rainbow colours everywhere.

America is just the country that shows how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind.

If somebody with the handle MKULTRA @'s you, don't message back at all. Just block. They're trolling and just looking to piss people off.

Well, technically he says mawr. But with him, that’s usually the same thing.

I’ve heard that a lot of astronauts say it can really change your outlook, going into orbit and seeing how the world looks from the outside. It puts things into perspective and makes you realise what’s really important.

So I fully support space strikes!

@jwhamilton_ @lynnesbian my coffee is cold. could i have more?

Then, after conscript army, I started study at an adult-course in UNIX-SysAdmin,
as I had no official record of knowing computers at all.
I often spent evenings/nights tutoring fellow students, etc.
Then, the school simply hired me to instead be teacher for next class of the course I had been student in.

The method was "problem-based learning",
where students are given problems and the learning happens as they solve that problem.
I didn't do that… exactly.

I just had my class play Quake for the first month.
The plan I hadn't told anyone was this would both remove fears of using computers and they would find things through the game that they wanted to do, their "problem" to solve, but through fun.

A student complained of "no tests/classes", so I was almost fired, until I told the principal my plan.

At course end, I had record number of students hired before graduation. :-)
