Okay but like, is it really that hard not to say a word with heavy historical and ableist baggage? Like, what's so important that you cant find another term? Im genuinely confused why people dont want to stop using a term that can only hurt others? Why cant I use my trauma to advocate to avoid...

I dont care if you think its a rite of passage or a right at all. you cannot “reclaim” the r slur. there’s no way to reclaim that nasty word because you literally can’t use it in a way that isn’t derogatory. i’m so tired of people saying this stupid shit like why is it hard for you to just not...

Im against the term because there more clever words you could use, and it unfairly lumps in people like myself or my sibling or many others I know and love under the banner of "too stupid to be allowed in proper society" which is ableism, and i hate it when people act out ableist ideas like...

If you use "retardation" as an insult or a label to denigrate another person, you are not using the definition of "slowing the progress of something", you are using it in the sense of "those with lesser intellectual capability are inferior". It attacks innocent disabled people by lumping them...

What part of "that is not an acceptable term on my page" is hard to get and respect? I'd how much you feel justified, not here it ain't. And let's continue to the rest of the definitions (Oxford English Dictionary): 4 a (1) : an abnormal slowness of thought or action psychomotor retardation (2)...

Dinosaur vocalization is a new field of study bc its only recently that things like fossilized vocal cords can be found, studied, replicated and modeled. We know hadrosaurs had a trumpeting call, but for various raptors, its been largely unknowable until recently, due to poor preservation of...
