Things I Will Not Do

December 24, 2019July 3, 2012 by Michael Hanscom
This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on July 3, 2012). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Things I will not do, in no particular order (a list that can be revised at any time, though such revisions are likely to be additions, unless there’s a very good reason for removing an item):

  1. Refer to Prairie as “my woman”. I do not own her.

  2. Use “bitch” as a generic term for women. I reserve the right to occasionally describe someone as “a bitch” or “bitchy” when appropriate, but women in general are not “bitches” (or sluts, hos, or any other demeaning term).

  3. Share any cute, funny, poignant, political, or any other kind of image on Facebook that uses improper grammar. Not that I share many images, but if they’re made without proper use of the English language, they’re not getting shared (with occasional, very rare exceptions for obviously intended humorous butchering of the language by people who know what they’re doing and why it’s funny).

  4. Share any image that denigrates one body type in favor of another. I find skinny women attractive, I find curvy women attractive…basically, I find women attractive. No one body type is better than any other. As long as someone has a body, I’m good with that.

I’m sure this list will grow over time. These just popped into my head this morning based on things I’ve seen posted recently.

AI Declaration

This site is written by me without the use of generative AI for text, images or anything else. I have decades of experience in creating artisanally hand-crafted typos and errors and have no interest in statistically generating my mistakes.

If I post videos I have created, iterative (traditional) AI may be used for a first pass at creating captions, but all captions are then verified and corrected before being embedded.

Old Post Disclaimer

My views, beliefs, and thoughts have changed over time, and there are many things in my archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. In general, I have moved steadily to the political left; my current beliefs put me in the category of "progressive left" as defined by the Pew research group. Posts over two years old will have a disclaimer automatically added at the top of the page. For more background, read my "Change is Good" post.
