About this listen

 "You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."  -Inigo Montoya, "The Princess Bride" We're all guilty of speaking or writing before we think about the effect the words that casually leave our mouths or fingertips will have on others.  Have you ever considered that words like "manic" or "OCD" are thrown around in incorrect ways that make those who have mental illnesses feel slighted, diminished, or broken?  We could insist we don't mean anything by them, or we could rethink our own use of language so that we keep from minimizing the battles that our friends, family, or complete strangers fight with their mental health.  But does that make us "snowflakes" or "language police"? Here's why I think you should feel empowered to stand up for yourself and others when it comes to intentional or unintentional language-based microaggressions. https://www.facebook.com/OpeningTheWindowPodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/openingthewindow/ Theme music: "Mistakes" by Adam Rabin : https://mailbox.bandcamp.com/
