Things I found in social justice glossaries
So I was looking for social justice terminology to identify words from movements that have been fallaciously adapted to serve the great penis god that is trans, and I found a glossary that lists both Becky and Karen as social justice terms. This glossary has no entry for feminism.
Becky:
A slang term for a white woman who is ignorant of both her privilege and her prejudice. (The male version is called a Chad).
Karen:
Slang for a white woman who is extremely aware of her privilege and weaponizes it. (The male version is called a Ken.)
Another glossary I found (Karen and Becky were omitted thank god) defined feminism thusly:
the pursuit of the social, economic, and political equality of all people, regardless of sex, gender, sexuality, race, geographical location, body size, socioeconomic status, physical and mental ability, and religion
🤯
As bad as that entry is, most of the glossaries I read had NO entry for feminism.
I kept going until I found one, from the brave brave University of Massachusetts at Lowell that has an entry for TERF. Bless their hearts.
Amazing!! I'm learning crochet and want to make a squirrel as well ❤️
Crochet is so fun and relaxing! Maybe a little frustrating when just starting out but it's so rewarding to make stuff. I love it. But make sure you take care of your wrists, I'm starting to get some carpal tunnel symptoms.
Make sure to post your finished projects!
I've been crocheting for only a week and a half, but I am absolutely in loooove with it!! All my other hobbies and games are on hold for now because I want to be able to make dolls of my favorite characters 🤣 And yes, it's so rewarding to see your project come to life before your very eyes! It makes me want to learn sewing one day so I can make plushies with minky fabric. Also yeah, I am worried about getting carpal tunnel, not from crochet but from my crappy desk job. What are your symptoms?
It might take a little bit to get to making your favorite characters but it's definitely worth working at it until you can.
I mostly get numbness but lately I've had very minor pain and discomfort in my hands, wrists and fingers. It's probably also from holding my switch and steam deck for too long at a time. So I've gotta take a bit of a break from doing almost all of my favorite things lol
Oh for sure haha. At least all the online tutorials are awesome, I can now make a little chibi doll!
And I hope your symptoms go away. I definitely know how you feel, I love drawing, gaming, and crocheting. All hand and wrist intensive. Are you being sure to take breaks and stretch your wrist, etc?
Yeah I'm getting better with it. Just gotta take a few days off and hopefully it'll feel better.
