sing the sublime in the vernacular
wise words on words

via Kristina:

“See, the problem with people who deride the use of the word ‘fucking’ in an otherwise thoughtful comment is that they are pushing an incorrect assumption that there were no other words we could have used than ‘fucking’. But they would be wrong! I know plenty of very large, very patronizing terminology that I could very, very easily throw at you! I found, however, that the word I was searching for all along was ‘fucking’.

Go fucking figure.”
