    At my job, I come across a lot of children’s names. So many, that I can actually sympathize with parents who want an odd name. Names are supposed to be a unique identifier, so if you wanna name a kid “Revolution Fighter” or “Czarlanda,” I get it. I can certainly find a kid with that name in our databases faster than I can find a “John Anderson” or an “Adam Wu.”

    What really kills me is parents who name their kids a normal sounding name, but with an insane spelling. I’m talking like “Shelley” spelled “Schelei” or “Alexander” spelled “Alexzander.” You’re not being clever or cute, you’re just going to make your child’s life unnecessarily harder as they have to spell their name out every. single. time.









  • It’s weird when it’s an otherwise totally normal eating establishment. Like if you just make normal looking burgers at a normal burger place, it’s weird to sexualize that.

    However, if you’re gonna sexualize a liitle, just go whole fuckin hog. There’s a kickass queer waffle place near me that makes waffles in the shape of cocks and clits, and all of the menu items are stuff like “The Twinkstuffer.” Everyone knows what they signed up for the second they enter the door, so order that cockwaffle with your chest.


  • dismissing foreign cultures’ spiritual practices

    if those spiritual practices are being used to oppress, as is often the case, then good. We should disregard them. There are cultures who believe that sexually abusing young men is just, because they need to consume “the spirit of life” through another man’s semen in order to produce offspring. Should we be respecting those practices?

    People are allowed to believe in whatever nonsense they like in the comfort of their own homes, but the second that shit spills out into the real world, it almost universally becomes a problem.
