[zoom on orange grinning] We can now say slurs at work without facing consequences

[newspaper clipping] Corporate America embraces a new era of conservatism under Donald Trump. Bankers and financiers say that Trump’s victory has empowered those who felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people. “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say [r-slur] and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

[orange, celebrating] Worth it! I see this as an absolute win!

Funny how this probably doesn't work in all directions. I probably couldn't say openly that I don't trust his work ethic because he voted for and supports Little Prince Shits-in-Pants.

When I was a kid there were many words and phrases that were commonplace in my vocabulary that may have been hurtful to others. One day, someone told me one of those words might be hurtful to some people, or maybe it was pointed out that some of my vocabulary made me sound ignorant, so I found more appropriate ways to express myself and my ideas.
