The Dead Pixel 

‘the dead pixel’ refers to the lasting affect being sexually assaulted has on one’s life and mind. the term derives from the game ‘mouthwashing’ when the character Anya speaks about always noticing a dead pixel in the corner of a certain screen. she mentions that the one pixel is always in the back of her mind and ruins the whole illusion of the immersive screen. this pixel is a metaphor for her being assaulted by a coworker and living in constant paranoia, with the thought she is as wrong and filthy as her assaulter implies she is.
despite my many efforts, i can’t seem to ignore the dead pixel.

Dead pixels

Sometimes a LCD / TFT monitor will have one or more pixels that are not working. These will remain a certain color or be black or white, but won't display colors dinamically like the rest of the screen. There's nothing you can do about them yourself, but normally manufacturers will give you a refund.
The LCD screen has several dead pixels.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
