  1. What the hell just happened? The #orange #goblin turned 80 and decided to arrange a #redneck party on his front lawn, complete with #circus #fisticuffs and fighter jets.

    A man of #class, he is not.

    I true statesman would probably have done some sort of #charity event, perhaps with kids or #veterans. Instead he went full #Idiocrazy, like the fucking scoundrel he is.

    Just an observation. You know, from someone living in the real world.

  2. CW: NSFW Male nudity, sexual content

    Rdnk158 (not sure if that's a file name I created or a user name), but he has more important things on his mind (and in his hands).

  3. #tRump #BBC #Radio4 #Today #Politics Who the feck is he to say "you've got to get your act together" He's a jumped up con artist who feels inadequate and threatened by the growing solidarity of the #EU . Shame on the #BBC for giving him any air time. n.b. #BBC They don't worship that other fascist #Putin so why that #redneck . And by the way, can we have our #Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 back you kant! #justsaying

  4. A while back, I was in a writing workshop. I submitted a story for critique written from a redneck POV. The instructor cautioned me to be careful about using slurs like "redneck," although she saw nothing objectionable in the content of my story.

    This startled me. I was raised on the land and off the grid in rural and remote areas across Canada because my father couldn't find work. I lived in trailer parks and campgrounds, and sometimes we squatted in people's yards living in an RV. One other person in the workshop was also a self-proclaimed redneck living in US Appalachia.

    I do not use "redneck" as a pejorative, and think that those who do are engaging in classism.

    It makes me wonder how many redneck stories get published. I know I've had a hard time with some of my stories written in Maritimes vernacular from the POV of redneck characters. I've had an editor tell me that I need to run my story through Grammarly. So yes, there's an elitism going on when the use of vernacular is deemed "wrong." That's how folks actually talk. It should have representation. #classism #redneck #WritingCommunity #publishing #discrimination #representation
