Yknow I was neurodivergent minor once. You think they cut me any slack? Like hell they did. It was a rough time back in the olden days.

Remember when chuds would pretend that they didn't hate diversity they just didn't wanna see it forced in ways that compromise the narrative or that "politically correct" demands are restrictingstorytellers and they just want creators to decide for themselves? Like they accused others of demanding that all storytelling caiter to their narrow worldview? Yeah…so about that

Sometimes a folk punk act from Chicago (Cricket) locks his key in his car when he comes to NE Ohio

Sometimes a folk punk act from Chicago (Constant Headache) locks their keys in the van when they come NE Ohio

And sometimes the only person to witness both is a 26 year old ska keyboardist and melodicaist

one extremely underrated media literacy/reading comprehension exercise is simply "try to look for clues about what emotion the writer of this piece was feeling about its contents when they wrote it."

I'll give you an example - let me write a headline for the same interview story in three different ways:

"child psychologist allison jenkins says respecting preferred pronouns 'crucial' to alleviating dysphoria for transgender youth"

"trans ally claims there could be 'drastic repercussions' for using the wrong pronouns for your child"

"radical transgender activist slams traditional parenting and gender roles, demanding respect"

what differences do you see between the above sentences?

did you notice that, even though the second example is less aggressive in tone than the third, neither of them mention the interviewee's name or credentials?

how about the way the main topic shifts from a medical professional's concerns about the treatment of trans minors and young adults to supposedly challenging traditional parenting styles in the second version, and outright attacking it in the third? did you spot how the headline progressively went from stating information to addressing the reader?

did you catch how the third version muddies the water when it comes to allison jenkins's personal gender identity, implying that there's no meaningful difference between a pro-trans activist and an actual transgender person?

if you were a trans person, would you feel as safe and comfortable discussing your identity with the writer of the second headline as the writer of the first?

my point here is that there's really no such thing as true objectivity when it comes to writing of any kind, including journalism. your feelings about a particular issue will inevitably bleed through and color your writing. your choice of words says a LOT about how you think and feel, which issues you feel are legitimate and which ones you resent having to even talk about, so on and so forth. it's important to be able to read between the lines, especially in this age of rage-inducing clickbait.

You better watch out, buddy – I have extremely unusual life experiences which I mistakenly believe are universal, and I'm about to misinterpret your post in ways you can't even imagine.

The dumbest people are those who say globalism instead of:

Neoliberalism

Neocolonialism

Global Capitalism

Globalization

And actually believe it (if they don't believe they're just a grifter)

Bitches will be like "look at me I'm in a ska-punk band AND a folk-punk band" then the ska band plays 2 shows a year and the folk punk band only got a name when a random teenager said we should call ourselves Death Mattress

Learning guitar at 26 when I've only played keys and percussion and have 21-23 year old friends who are geniuses makes me want to jump off a bridge.
