Well done. Very well done.
(perhaps... a little more proof reading before hitting send? You may be like me, D. N. K. and have a kind of very mild form of dyslexia that requires that. In which case you are not alone. But--- your writing is so good, so clear and refreshing, why take us out of the flow?)
If you find somebody--- not you to publish it, as GC poetry, let me know who, please. I've got a couple of good ones but they're getting the cold shoulder and I get the feeling I've ended on some list... I've gone from 27 mid-level acceptances over 8 months to nada, zilch, nuttin'... and quick turnarounds of a day or two... ?
But, that's my problem. Just sharing. This stuff is toxic, but then popular nonsense always is, and has been my whole life and I'm 69. And there's been lots of it. And it always ends in believers and heretics--- but this time it has the NYTs and the Washington Post and near all the giant news Corporations fully behind it for tech-historical reasons, and of course, for neolib reasons-$$$$ as well--- both of which ARE new-ish.
Sincere thanks again for the good, grounded sense, D. N. K. It's a relief to encounter it.
The people who defend Judith Butler and say the blame only lies with Focault and Money are dishonest and unwilling to deal with the underlyjng issues that got us here.
Brilliant ideas but Dennis you really need a good proofreader!! Too many grammar/spelling mistakes to list here!! Not merely the sew/sow one corrected below!!
Yes we can usually work it out but I guess I think the creator should do the work not us!! I suspect a lot of folks dictate and let IT do the work am afraid I’m very old-fashioned!!
Absolutely loved this, you put due ire in true colours and defend the truly vulnerable, namely the masses who writhe in pain so some others can have a wank.
Brilliant summation, although I heard somewhere else that the teacher with the huge prosthetics was trying to demonstrate the ridiculousness of it all. If he wasn't then that's what he did either way.
You're a cheeky fellow, Mr. Kavanagh.
Worst of the worst sir :)
“…such that middle aged heterosexual men can justify now having boob jobs to aid their professional devotion to masturbation”
Perfect. That’s exactly what it is.
Yeah. Love that line!

Good stuff cheap. Thanks, sincerely
It's a kind of free verse poem, by the way, isn't it?
I like it.
Yeah I need to proof the hell out of this lol, will do so later :)

Number 11- you better use pronouns and the language we decree you bigot.
Sad but true. Every word. This world falling apart at the seams. And taking our children with it! Come on parents! Fight! You’re not alone!
Bang on. Simply brilliant.
As always Dennis succinct, pointed and every word the truth. Nice to see you back on the bird 🐦

typo: should be “sows”, (as in planting seeds), not “sews” as in stitching something together.
Yep.
Excellent as usual.
Brilliant as ever Mr K
