coworker asks “hey how are u” and I give them the casual “I’m alright, how are you” and they decide to be cheeky and give me the “just alright? Not excellent? Hahaha” and in my head my response is “I am on day four of my full time week, do you know how big the world is? It is vast and beautiful and that’s because Hell is small. If damnation comes for us both it will be a cage” but what I tell them is “it’s friday, Carl”
Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.
I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻
If you could help me spread awareness about this by reblogging, I’d really appreciate it.
I’ve had this post on insta saved for sometime ❤️
[Text Description: “Hey! Reminder: Eskimo is a slur. It means ‘snow eaters’ in Cree and is a slur against Inuit . Also don’t use ‘Eskimo kisses’. It’s called Kunik. It is a greeting mostly used for family… Kunik was how I’d greet my mom and grandmother as a small child.” /TD]
Rebloging for the awareness and especially for the alternative words
And so people who are just learning this now know the proper usage: “Inuit” is plural. The singular is “Inuk”, as in “he is an Inuk”
I could never write on my phone, but for some reason that changed this year and my word counts exploded, so it got me thinking about how everyone else is doing this.
Are you comfortable writing stories on your phone?
