I feel a deep sense of confidence and satisfaction, that my premonition when everyone was grieving over Prop 8 is holding true. I know setbacks suck, and they're tangibly affecting real people right now, but...
"The avalanche has started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote." - Kosh, Babylon 5
Precise quote has a word I missed (I just looked it up for your precision-quoting pleasure): "The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."
Even the expression "I come from a long line of Southern Crackers" is permanently excised from my vocabulary, externally and internally. You must always make this rebukes known to me. It's important.
Well, people can describe themselves as they want, regardless of what I think of it. And I think there's are huge differences between using a historical slur for empowerment ("queer") in self-describing and using it for shock value and using it as a historical slur for the purpose of aggrandizing a belief in a lack of self-worth.
Honestly, the problem with what irked me is that when we insist on referring to the middle of the country as backwards, it just encourages the middle of the country to dismiss anything the coasts have to say and it doesn't help causes like gay marriage or abortion rights.

The difference between geeky and pedantic is not so great, no?
