About commenting: OpenID commenting is turned on. Anonymous commenting is on but screened, to discourage trolls and spammers. IP address tracking is on. If your comment includes material you can reasonably expect to be upsetting or triggering (see list below), please put a warning in your header. Please use child-safe language in comments.
This is intended to be a QUILTBAG-friendly, feminist-friendly, anti-cissexism, anti-racism, anti-classism, anti-ableism blog. That said, I am a fairly sheltered American white man of Northwest European racial extraction and fundamentalist Christian upbringing (homeschooled for purer ideology ;P), so if I say anything offensive, PLEASE CALL ME OUT if you feel up to it.
I use a good deal of fannish slang. Please speak up if my terminology is unclear, and I will happily clarify.
This blog's language is G-rated, but its themes include sex, violence, and oppression. I will always use a cut with a trigger warning for racist/sexist/otherwise offensive language, for any discussion or depiction of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse/assault, self-harm, eating disorders, drug use, or PTSD, and for the comfort of people with various common phobias or squicks (emetophobia, creepy-crawlies, injury/amputation, embarrassment squick, anything else I think of at the time). If you have something you'd like me to warn for, please speak up. If I did not put a cut over something you find upsetting or triggery, please speak up if you are able to do so, and I will cut it, no questions asked.
All polite discussion is welcome. (I love being contradicted! Yay, new perspectives! Warning: contradicting me will probably get you a long and rambly comment in which I try to figure out exactly why I said what I did and how incorporating your new perspective or information changes that. I'm not formally trained in analysis or critique, and only a little bit in logic.) Do not use offensive language about other people. Do not tell me "it's just a book" or any other form of Stop Critiquing Things.
No comment is too long or too short. "You need to google [search term] before you talk any more about [topic]" is just as acceptable / awesome as a three-page essay on the history of interracial marriage or second-wave feminism. "101-type" questions are welcome; you will receive a warning if I think these veer into trolling. Do not link people to "Let Me Google That For You" or any site with the same intent; I consider this intellectual snobbery, unkindness, and borderline derailing, and all such comments will be deleted.
Correcting my spelling, grammar, formatting, or vocabulary is very welcome. I write these posts up offline ahead of time, and unclosed HTML tags often slip through.
