The original person didn’t circle every pronoun that she used, so I went over and circled those, in case you’re wondering why there are different circles. Though to be fair those “pronouns” were mostly “y’all” so I can see why the first person would skip those.

Anyway, the whole point of this is to show that Spicer is an idiot. Also she uses pronouns in her bio.

Edit: I forgot one. She used so many pronouns that I forgot to circle one of them.

Are republicans having some sort of competition to determine which of them is the most stupid?

[bendjamintheinkcambionandfamily]

We let ppl like her lead and wonder why this country sucks. Shes made a fool of herself.

[sezzyyy]

Um, so does someone wanna clue Lavern in on what a pronoun is? 🤣

Lavern Spicer 

Let me see if I got this right:

The FBI deployed a whole SWAT team to find ONE MAN who allegedly sprayed pepper spray on January 6.

But they ain’t doing nothing about stopping the cartels from doing business here.

Nothing about all the child trafficking.

Nothing about all the fentanyl. Nothing about all the TERRORISTS that’s coming across the border.

Nothing about all the organized crime that’s causing businesses to shut down.

Nothing about a president who’s as CROOKED as a $3 bill.

Y’all, Biden’s FBI is a complete effing joke, just like EVERYTHING about his bullshit administration.

The Gender Violations of William Shakespeare

Shakespeare was queer, violating gender norms over and over again.

After seeing Lavern Spicer  complain about contemporary gender issues, as in: 

Shakespeare didn't walk around putting pronouns in his plays. That's why they're classics. Imagine if this dude wrote "My name is Macbeth and my pronouns are they/them" SMH.

...Jason Tondro decided to provide some real info on Shakespeare and gender:

Shakespeare took great delight in confusing the audience about gender, and I’m gonna give you just two examples because I’m waiting for take-out. 

The famous best example is Twelfth Night, in which a male actor dresses up as Viola, a young woman who dresses up as a young man who falls in love with another man and who is loved by another woman (who is played by a man). 

[In Shakespeare’s time women where not allowed to be actors.]

But my personal favorite is Othello, when Desdemona’s maid explains women behave badly because they learned all that shit from men, and then you remember both women are being played by men, so the whole scene is really men holding up a mirror and saying “take a long ass look”.

Shakespeare used the singular “they” centuries before it became the target of a cultural war, and it’s funny the OP should cite Macbeth because that’s where Shakespeare wrote “Unsex me here” ffs (take out is late). 

I could do a whole class lecture on Beatrice’s “O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the market-place.” scene and lemme tell you, you would not be sorry. But my pot pie is here so Imma let you go.

Complete twitter thread here.

Note also that As You Like It is about a woman who flees her uncle and goes to a forest where she uses her adopted male identity to  find love. Rosalind, who disguises herself as the boy Ganymede, “raises many interesting debates on homosexuality, gender blending, androgyny, and sexual identity.”

btw all these right wing grifters gleefully lined up to make this deeply unwell deeply bigoted abusive man their new spokesman, repeatedly and emphatically, until he failed to clear the lowest bar possible of not praising hitler and denying the holocaust. and now theyre all trying to backpedal. i need them to be reminded of the way they used this guy for clout and propped him up as their new golden celeb as long as he was cloaking his rhetoric in just enough plausible deniability. tucker carlson, candace owens, tim pool, lavern spicer, the other fox news hosts, musk, all of them. scum of the fucking earth who are now running scared bc they made a messiah out of a holocaust denying hitler lover, even as it became apparent who he was. they waited until the words left his mouth and now theyre backpedaling, back back back. but i wont forget. i hope no one else does either. i hope no one buys this shit and reminds them of it forever.

Another gem from Lavern Spicer

[daydreamers-sys]

[TRANSCRIPT: a tweet from Lavern Spicer which reads, “stop teaching kids pronouns and start teaching them grammar!”

A reply from Heat Death reads, “So do you hit your pipe before or after posting bullshit like this? Because if it’s before, at least you have an excuse.”

/END]

I’M SORRY ARE PRONOUNS NOT PART OF GRAMMAR ANYMORE

[jambeast]

I was thinking about that particular Twitter saga, and particularly how a contrarian meta-dunk position emerged, to the effect that "the people dunking on Lavern Spicer are being stupid, because she knows exactly what she's doing and they're playing into her hands; she's trolling to get engagement, and is just signalling that she hates trans people". I think it's a blind-men-and-the-elephant scenario, though, where both the basic object-level "lol look at this dumb tweet that's deeply embroiled in culture war and doesn't know what pronouns are" take and the "the semantic error here is beyond the point, as she is communicating what she intends to, which is a tribal signal" take see part of the bigger picture, but aren't getting the larger picture quite right. I'm pretty sure that, outside of 4chan-style trolling ops, people don't actually make culture war pronouncements this stupid on purpose; Lavern Spicer does not understand why what she's saying is wrong, and if she could understand, she would be mortified. The problem is that she is dumb enough, the culture war is hot enough, and her error is sufficiently clearly tribally aligned that it is unlikely she will ever figure out what she said wrong, and if she ever does, it certainly won't be because one of her political enemies told her. She is anti-intellectual, in the genuinely bad sense of anti-intellectual. It's not that she secretly knows what a pronoun is and is deliberately beclowning herself to exploit the Twitter algorithm for later political gain. It's that she (and her subculture) can't be told what a pronoun is (and are thereby alienating anyone who does), because she actively values being dumb. Assorted happenings managed to convert the word "pronoun" into an applause light for the left and a boo light for the right, and many people struggle to understand anything above that tribal level.

Plus, it's only the enemy team that is correcting her anyway. Why the hell would she listen to the Enemy team criticise her? They're the enemy team! Them hating what she says, to her, is only further proof that what she's saying is right. There is no truth in Culture War Bullshit, there is only pwning the libs.

I think if she found out the truth about grammar, I don't think she'd be mortified, because regardless of how true it is, she pwned the libs with it. She doesn't secretly know that she's wrong and thus lying - she simply doesn't care. It made the people she didn't like angry (or, well, it made them make fun of her, but she can twist the latter into the former). It was directed against the enemy team in favour of the ally team, and everything else falls by the wayside in her mind.

Holocaust Museum Graciously Invites Kanye West For Private Tour, He Rejects It -- And Now They're Getting Threats!!

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

Kanye West’s antisemitic behavior is inciting real violence.

It’s been devastating to hear all the hateful and harmful things the rapper has had to say about the Jewish community in the last several weeks, and unfortunately, we are already seeing the grave ramifications of him using his platform for cruelty. Sadly, this is likely just the tip of the iceberg.

As we’ve been following, after making several hate speechesacross various platforms, the Holocaust Museum of Los Angeles publicly reached out to Ye to invite him for a private tour so he could learn from his wrongs. The Heartless rapper quickly denied the offer on the Drink Champs podcast while complaining about someone not wanting to release his “White Lives Matter” t-shirts. He said:

“He’s telling me like, ‘Yo, I want you to visit the Holocaust Museum.’ I was like, ‘Yo, I want you to visit Planned Parenthood. That’s our Holocaust Museum.’”

On multiple occasions now, Kanye has falsely claimed “there are more black babies being aborted than born.” Ugh. So awful. And might we reiterate, completely untrue!

Now, the museum is reacting to his refusal to learn the history of the Holocaust — and showing the negative impact the rapper’s words have had on their community! In a statement released on Twitter earlier this month, the museum revealed they’ve been fielding threats ever since Kanye’s controversial chatter, saying:

“Ye, since we invited you to visit us at Holocaust Museum LA we have received a tremendous amount of social media messages and comments…some filled with hate, threats, and vitriol. Others were saddled with hurt and yearned for further discourse.”

They went on to slam him for using his immense power to tear down others, adding:

Ye, you have over 30m Twitter followers (twice as many Twitter followers as the total number of Jews on earth). You and anyone reading this can make a difference, you can choose to join us in building bridges rather than tearing them down.”

There are approximately 15 million Jewish people in the world, with around half of those in the US. Speaking to CBS on Tuesday, Beth Kean, the CEO of the museum, expressed similar frustrations about Kim Kardashian’s ex and the hate they’ve been battling ever since he began running his mouth. She opened up:

“We know for a fact that education is the greatest catalyst for change. When students and visitors come to the museum if they enter as bystanders they leave as upstanders. We know that.”

And yet, Kanye’s unwilling to educate himself. Beth continued:

“We publicly invited him to come to the museum and he publicly rejected our offer.”

On why this is so upsetting, she went on:

“I think Kanye has more than double the amount of Twitter followers than there are Jews living in this world. People like Kanye have a huge platform, he has over 30 million Twitter followers and he needs to understand that he needs to use his words to inspire and not incite and to not perpetuate hate and lies and antisemitism.”

She can say that again!!!

Not only has the museum received violent messages, but antisemitic behavior was put on full display over the weekend when a group (displaying Nazi salutes) hung a banner over the 405 freeway in LA. It read:

“Kanye was right about the Jews.”

Just despicable. Heartbroken by the unrest, Beth told the outlet:

“It’s infuriating that this is happening in our own backyard.”

It’s also just downright infuriating to see history repeating itself! To keep people safe, Magen Am, a non-profit security team for the Jewish community, has set up more patrols in the Fairfax District. The group includes more than 50 volunteers and veterans who provide safety training and armed response to dangerous situations when needed. President and CEO Rabbi Yossi Eilfort told CBS:

“Doing everything we can to show that we’re not afraid. We’re a strong community and we won’t act like victims.”

We hope these armed forces aren’t needed. It’s gut-wrenching to see things have even gotten this far. Kanye — and anyone with antisemitic beliefs, for that matter — needs to educate themselves ASAP. And at the very least, they need to stop pouring hate on an already vulnerable community.

As more brands and people cut ties with the Grammy winner amid these controversies, Ye will continue to be held accountable for his actions against an already-threatened community. And let’s be real, one of these days — when he’s strapped for cash — we wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to sweep this under the rug, but the damage, the severe damage, has already been done. It’s not the first time he’s made inflammatory claims like these, but the ramifications will last for years. And to learn he turned down an invaluable opportunity to learn from his mistakes? Truly disappointing. When will he fully understand the pain he’s caused with his recklessness?
