Hey friend, maybe these are questions better discussed with a licensed therapist than with strangers on the internet. You clearly have a personal interest in exploring this that you won't be able to address on a forum like this. You deserve to be listened to by someone who can help you work through your thoughts and feelings about this.

I think you have some good points, except that these are not average people, but grad students being taught writing for PhD programs. I think that level of study necessitates mastery by its nature- you have to write original work for (most) doctorate degrees.

Is this a community, or is this a circlejerk? I don't think categorizing beginners who don't know where to start as leeches creates the kind of environment people of all knowledge levels want to spend time in. You don't personally have to educate them, but telling them off for asking is pretty rude.

Yes, apologies, I wasn't trying to imply anything about anyone posting while ignorant of this dogwhistle, neither OP here nor on Twitter are to blame for this. It's just really shitty that actual neo Nazis have co-opted language otherwise used in a marginalized community.

Bad news, this is sadly an antisemitic dogwhistle designed to be obscured by common neurodivergent memes :(

They can! They look identical to the old blinds, just without the string. I had to ask if the installers forgot the strings when we got new ones a few years ago!

Bird is the word irritates me in ways I cannot describe

Not that hot a take if you look up the original lyrics though

He's a cop, of course he knows how law enforcement will go through and find something incriminating

Have you ever met a tenured college prof before? Lol

Even ranked choice voting couldn't save NYC from picking the most bonkers mayors you can imagine

What exactly made you think that this was an appropriate comment to make?
