Just ended up getting the most pretentious Frenchie in my DMs all because he wanted to debate etymology with me. Here are some banger quotes:
[CW: Cringe, Brief Mention of French's Horrible History]
Him: "Etymology is the logical root of words. Without it, language becomes arbitrary, malleable, stripped of meaning. That’s exactly what the system wants: to twist words in order to twist thought. Newspeak begins here—when we forget that freedom, justice, or authority have precise, inherited, rooted meanings. To know etymology is to resist. It is to think clearly with words that still carry truth."
Him: "Every word carries historically constructed semantic content. Its etymology reveals not only its linguistic origin, but also the primary intention behind its use. For example, education comes from the Latin educere, « to bring out, to raise » a dynamic toward autonomy. If we redefine this word to designate simple conditioning or passive transmission, we negate this fundamental orientation. The word then ceases to designate what it designated. This creates a short-circuit of meaning."
Me: "No, this is not true. Etymology does not set rules. Like I said, please acknowledge the fact that you have to concede that 'girl' is gender-neutral in this case. You don't have to do a whole critical analysis here—it really is not that deep."
Him: "We don’t have gender neutrality in French. In German, they have feminine, masculine, and neuter."
Me: "Okay, but that's not relevant to the fact that we say 'girl' in English to mean 'female child' specifically despite it etymologically descending from a gender-neutral term"
Him: "So we can write anything arbitrarily and interpret words without foundation. Worse, we can lose words to ideologies"
Me: "Strawman argument. I said that words are defined by how they are used, not that you can use 'toaster' to mean 'tree.' My argument is that etymology doesn't prescriptively dictate the meaning of a word, and there are many examples of this."
Closed out with this:
Him: "I am not responsible for the lexical poverty of English and your difficulty in accepting that Latin words are relevant and based on implacable logic. Etymology is a major tool against obscurantism. Extremely so in France, where the system is violent in its distortion and dilution of words. It is a tool. An empirical DNA."
Me: "The system is violent in its distortion and dilution of words? Reminds me of how your people were violent to mine when they enslaved them. Now fuck off."
and then I blocked.
And how did this conversation start? Someone used the term "principle" instead of "doctrine" (in a particular context) in an Instagram story I shared, and he replied to it with, "It's a 'doctrine.' Not a principle!"
I shit you not. 🙄
I got quite a lot of time, but I wanted to just start getting this out, especially since time can fly sometimes.

Also, shout out to the obsessive fan of mine who keeps making a new account just to express frustration with my mutual aid posts. I love you! 
And I love the rest of you who support (unironically this time). 🫶🏿
White people when my freeform dreadlocks were in the earliest phases: "Have you considered combing your nappy ass hair?"
White people when my freeform dreadlocks are longer and mature: "OMG, WAOW. SO COOL! IT'S LIKE BOB MARLEY! THAT'S SO EXOTIC! OMG!"
I swear to fucking God.
White "leftists" be like, "No need to try to unlearn my white supremacist conditioning if I just act like POC don't exist!" 
I made one a bit ago!

I got an alert from my ISP, but the grace period is there until the 13th, so I'm tryna chill.
I'd need $200 by the 13th, which is quite a while from now, but I figure I'd get the word out sooner
My Cash App is $QuingCrimson, and I also have Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo. DM me for any of those 3.
Love all of you who have been there for me in whatever way you can. 🫶🏿

Update: I initially just needed $150, but I updated $200 because I have to repay some money I borrowed as times are rough. Thank you for any understanding.
The comrade who helped me with groceries gave more than I initially asked so I put some towards this goal.

Honestly, it's one of my favorite foods. I'll eat a portobello mushroom in just about anyway. I love the burgers, stuffed mushroom ideas like you see in this picture, eating them in pasta, on top of pizza, and in any kind of sandwich, really. Sometimes, for sandwiches, I'll slice them super thin and have them imitate deli slices in a way. I add hummus, nooch, and seeds for more flavor and protein, and I like to use crunchy vegetables like peppers and onions (I typically eat them raw with my mushrooms to keep them very crunchy). If I add leafy greens, arugula is my go-to.
Didn't wanna post again today, but I just need to get more of this. It's basically all I live off of, but I go through it quicker than I expect.

I can't stress how much it means. It really, really is so useful.
UPDATE: COVERED!!! TY
