I came back with a more “nuanced” explication of my stance. It was just Becky of me, in no way helpful. Now that I’m Karen Sr., I’m not going to […]

I’m going to read your comment every time I feel like a useless loser, which is pretty much daily but oh well. It is just wonderful to think I’ve had a positive effect or brought pleasure through writing here. Thank you so much! Also, thank you for backing up my feelings on this topic, I know it’s a sensitive one but I needed to deal with it. xoxo

Miranda – Thank you, good to hear!

Joan – Thank you too, Joan!

Seriously. I think of writing you this, and a thousand hearts, every time you post something new. I end up not doing it because most of the time I am on my phone and am too lazy to type.
I’ve read your blog probably around 10 years now? Since I was 18 or so. I met my best friend yesterday who used to be my boyfriend many years ago and I read you some excerpts of your blog, which he remembers because I used to bring it up so frequently when we lived together. He said something about how completely fucking right you were, on everything, and we gushed on for a while about how amazingly beautifully you put everything from ugly denim to pain into words. I think anybody who’s smart and humble (see? how not humble of me to write that?) can’t help but love you, I know I do even though I am just some random person on the other side of the world. You’re such an inspiration and I admire your ability to… cope. This is going dangerously into cheesy territory and into words that are completely empty and don’t mean anything, but I really needed to write it down in these soppy words just this once even. All those assholes on reddit and horrible neighbours and ex-wives are insane and so self-centered they are lost in a vortex of blindness. You are a shining star.

Sorry. On topic: yet again I find myself shouting YES!, re: bindis: people who go after that are fucking idiots. Idiots that don’t know what they are talking about. I have many times gone through this with actual Indian friends, Indian born and bred I mean – a bindi is a fucking fashion accessory. It is a fucking piece of jewellery. Your nose piercings and tattoos are EXACTLY as much cultural appropriation. Ugh, god. The ignorance, masquerading as some kind of concern. Rome is burning, there are bigger things to do.
