First I’ve got to go Christmas shopping; but when I come back, I’ve got something really stupid for you all to marvel at. And break out your Blather Bingo cards.
In case you don’t remember how to play,
Be of good cheer: I’ve also got plenty of Christmas hymns to post. Byron’s got them all lined up for me.
But in the meantime, just in case you thought there was anybody sane running the show–we’ve got definite proof there isn’t.
Well, Marge, you asked for a Blather Bingo card, and I’ll try to provide one. It’d be nicer if I knew how to do this with computer graphics, but I don’t. So you’ll have to print out the blank card and then fill in the spaces with the words provided below.
Row 1: Racist, Cissexism, Affirming, Inclusive, Settled Science
Row 2: Heteronormative, Xenophobia, Patriarchy, Ablist, Women of Color
Row 3: Accepting, Income Inequality, (Free Spot), Gender, Sustainable
Row 4: Homophobia, Bigot, Welcoming, Microaggression, White Privilege
Row 5: Global, Social Justice, Minorities, Misogyny, Toxic Masculinity
There are, of course, other, equally chowder-headed, words and terms you can plug in. I just used the first 24 that sprang to mind. And you don’t have to install them in those particular rows–unless you want to play Self-Esteem Affirming Blather Bingo, in which everyone has exactly the same card and everyone wins.
And instead of X-ing out the words as they come up, you could cover them with little pieces of re-useable, sustainable Play-Doh…
Happy blathering, everybody!
