Don't ever let my critiques or analysis of oppression be misconstrued as hatred for my fellow proletarians, the default state for proletarians is to be loved by me. You have to actively betray our class for me to find hatred there. I will defend the rights of the marginalized strata of our class to ruthlessly critique those who assist in their marginalization, but never be mistaken- I strive for solidarity with the whole proletariat, to anyone who will stand with us.

one time when we were little we asked our parents how to spell the letter J and everyone laugh at us for it but thinking back I think it is very sensible to ask how to transcribe the phonemes for J say aloud. because (in English at least) J alone is said different to the sound it produces within a word. of course it does not have a typical spelling but a child doesn't know that. might I suggest Jay or perhaps Jae

realistically it would make the most sense to transcribe with the IPA (ʤeɪ perhaps) since it is itself a letter, but still.

Z can be said Zee or Zed, and this "spelling" is even somewhat standardized

“Okay that makes sense”

Now explain it to a Japanese samurai from the year 1218

"do you know how waterwheels grind up grain in a water mill using the force of running water? We found a way to create a huge source of force that runs all the time and can transfer its force over long distance. I can tell you in more detail, but that's the basics. Now that is a chime that has a mechanism that one can press instead of having to open the door to let you know that you are waiting to be let in. It requires the transferred force to make the mechanism work and that wire is how we transfer the force to the chime."

> ask if we got an actual butch character or if shes just a normal looking woman that isnt wearing make up and a dress

> person is visibly confused, i start explaining the difference between actual butch presentation and dress and a woman simply dressing comfortably to avoid indecent exposure

> person laughs and says "she straight up looks like a guy, i can barely tell her apart from the actual men"
