I'm drafting a satirical essay about cultural appropriation that I intend to post to my blog soon. For fear of having it read in a biased manner, I will not expose the angle I'm pursuing with it, but I open w/ the sentence "You utter buffoons!"
If you're interested in reading and commenting on an early draft, mention me on #Twitter: @poeticStupid
I won't release this publicly after all. I shared the draft with my Dad, who liked it a lot, but he then disavowed me of my faith in people's ability to receive it civilly, especially in this political climate. How many works have we not seen for want of emotional maturity social? #personal #politics
I'm toying with the idea of going a different track, shifting the perspective. The title would be "Cultural Appropriators are Useful Idiots", and it would not be nearly as satirical. #culturalappropriation
@beardyunixer Tempted as I am to pawn it off on my friend Tommy Flatbottom, I'm in too deep: Google's already cached my too about the title I intend to use, and I dare not deviate from perfection.
@beardyunixer (Read: Yeah, I'll try to think of a good one and an alternate title.)
I'm now feeling a two-part series, starting with "A Cunning Plan". The #satire only emerges in part two. Both will have narrative structures. I'll release them in private, first, and publicly if those who taste of it cast aside their need of clothes. #writing
