Getting pissed off is my superpower. An academic chameleon. Language is reality. Foucault was right/ Chomsky was wrong. I translate for fun. I'm p(r)etty. Unapologetically Queer.

Rules and culture shape what we think is possible; whether they are grammar rules, religious morals, cultural norms, or even literary styles, they are still sets of what is considered right and what is considered wrong. Sometimes the rules become so ingrained we forget we are even following them.

Yes!! Those who will have to deal with the aftereffects of legislation should be the ones who make legislation. It's time for a new generation of politicians, our current ones are failures.
