To the language police

Believe me, most of the language I speak is jargon, whether it's political, musical or (yes) sexual. If you're picking up the references, then you're a chaser. I'm just another person conducting business on my phone, except you might hear references to celebrities. That's the world I live in. Jacinda really is a friend of mine. I realise that some prudes learn all the alternative jargon, but that's precisely why the right is winning: they've won the culture wars by co-opting the left's lexicon. Hence why I defend myself on free expression, free association and free movement. Those are guaranteed rights that every citizen has. - I'm third gender, so I have lots of third gender friends. I'm not saying the sort of stuff that Benjamin said on his Instagram. Couldn't tell you what I talk about each day, but the boycott is a constant. Most of my chatter is what you hear on Facebook. - By the way, I've finally figured out that Barbara wasn't the one hating on me, but someone that was pretending to be her. It wasn't so obvious until after the doxxing began. We got away with These Words Are Meant For Someone because the words are clean. Emanuel totally nailed it: the sex is explicit, yet tasteful. - That's why I'm not done with my boycott: until I get some clarity, it's really difficult to know who was well-meaning, who was attempting to exploit me, and which ones were attempting to get naked with me. The hui is about clarity, not punishment. The cops are the ones telling me what they reckon I should do, which is press all charges and sort it out then.
