I am beginning a change.org petition that bans people from adding "queering" to anything that has nothing to do with like, being an actual queer

ESPECIALLY when they can't use it in a complete sentence. How queering fat acceptance WHAT drat IT?

Hey, I've been to a liberal university and I've read Judith Butler. I understood that whole poster. I just wish whoever wrote it was dead.

Welp, I guess that's my issue. No liberal university and all my buzzwords skew geeky. I can talk about monetizing paradigms shifts in our offshoring partnerships or why you should go for one level of RAID over another all day long. That poster breaks me.

Is Cat Paus� supposed to be a pun?

I think the aigu is the most annoying thing about it all.

You really need to ask that? Look into your heart. You know the answer.

Sorry about your false conscience developed under the system of post-industrial patriarchal oppression.

Yeah, ummmmmm, sure.

Her name doesn't even work as a bad pun the way it's written - Paus� would be something like "Pawsay" not "Paws" because of the acute accent. :pedant:

But, since she's into fat studies, she HAS to be wacky and quirky. It's in the bylaws...

Queering now refers often to:

So that it's essentially a tool for people who feel like they're outside of the fringes of society in some way to say, "I'm making [normal thing] weird! Ha-ha!"

And so, the translation of the poster is thus:

"In this lecture, a woman who inexplicably gained tenure, possibly from lack of applicants, discusses how if we can look at fat people slightly differently [removed extraneous comma for clarity] that might change the way we assume fat people are across the board, while she also rejects rich white people who registered as Democrats for the last twenty years but also think homeless people are kind of icky."

Or, you know, making [weird thing] normal, right?

Use that sort of language, and I will SIT on you. (And not in a fun way...)

I mostly wondering which field of science fat studies falls under.

You could make a case for either medicine, nutritional science, philosophy, or the culinary arts.

Given how wacky and brilliant they are, performing arts?
