On explaining privilege
Mar. 11th, 2009 11:41 amI keep coming back to RaceFail09. I really wish I wasn't, but it's troubling me, for obvious reasons, and not-so-obvious reasons.
I am not going to try to unpack the invisible knapsack here. I'm just thinking out loud.
( In which Phnee tries to figure out what the hell she's talking about )
I keep swearing I'm done with this, but then I come back and poke at it some more, so I'm no longer going to promise anything. :P
:::ETA:::
I have apparently been linked into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rydra_wong's Linkspam of Doom thing.
So, dear New People Following The Fail To My LJ, I feel compelled to lay down a ground rule, should you want to comment.
Don't be an asshat.
This means no flaming, no personal attacks, no mudslinging, no outing people. Post in good faith, and with an open mind. Wait ten minutes before typing your responses, if you must. If you're still mad, then wait ten more minutes.
My friends (LJ and RL) are a varied bunch, with a wide range of experiences and opinions. The one thing they have in common in this LJ is respect of my space. I would ask that you also show this respect in your posts. (So far so good, btw.)
If you don't follow this one rule, I will ban you summarily, no questions asked.

Dear ADD!Supervisor,
Please to not be sending the mental emails anymore. We, your employees, feel that this is discriminatory toward the telepathically challenged. Since we cannot read your mind, it is therefore unfair of you to assume that we are aware of the changes in procedures that you thought you sent to us last week, but didn't.
Kthxbai,
Me

Linkspam! Ack!
Mar. 11th, 2009 10:45 pmI apparently just got linked to rydra_wong's Linkspam list thing.
ACK!
Anyway, for those of you who might be wandering by, I'd like to point out that I am seriously not that interesting. I post random stuff about my life, which is interesting only to me and maybe some of my friends. Occasionally I try my hand at thinking, and it invariably gets me in trouble. :P
Uh, yeah. So... play nice, 'kay?
