The Vulgar Tongue

@TheVulgarTongue@zirk.us

Bot account posting selections from Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue”

CW: 18th-century levels of racism, homophobia, sexism, slut-shaming and negative attitudes to sex workers.

But on the other hand, someone non-judgmentally recorded the speech and codes of people on the outside of polite society, people in the demi-monde and otherwise forgotten by history.

Let me know of any problems.

Mainly news, constructive politics and food. Maybe some pop culture.

#nobridge #nobot

Current CW practice to hashtag political posts liberally so that they're easy to filter, but to only CW them if something in the text of the post would require a CW in any context.

I only boost images that include alt text. #nobot

Professional teller of tales

I write the books I want to read but can't find.

I will, on occasion, post the picture of a park, usually taken in the morning on the day of the post. I use the tag #tommw for Talking On My Morning Walk, my somewhat daily podcast.

I never post the link. The picture is the "first word" of the podcast and tells my listeners that the new episode is coming. They know how to find it.
