Did You Know: “toot” descends from Middle English “toote”, from Old English “tuþe”, from Proto-Germanic “tütt”, from PIE “*túd”. “*túd” meant “to write on a mammoth skin”.

put color on things to try and help with feeling not-great. It helps. https://awoo.space/media/AMGrStiSM8mDvbVOGYM

Modern progressivism could get so much more done if we weren't CONSTANTLY bogged down by petty sniping over god damn vocabulary.
Maybe, just maybe, next time, try saying "does that person not define that word the same way as I do?" instead of assuming that your definition is the One True Definition and freaking out all over everybody.

Christ, the amount of stupid bullshit that goes down in progressive circles because people are unable to distinguish between structures of oppression and personal bigotry.

In the 19th century "tom-and-jerry gangs" were groups of rowdy young men having a night of drunken revels on the town.
Now I want to see bands of furries putting on their toonsuits for a crazy night of chasing, catching, and escaping rampages.

microfiction
War. Broadcasts of distress swept the planet, and in time the galaxy as bloodshed that would never be forgotten decimated the people.
Thousands of lightyears away, a lone observer, almost too absorbed in their own worlds to take note of the universe outside overheard the screams of a civilization.
"Greetings. You may not be here to hear this, but I hope you will have learned to love yourselves."
The response came sooner than expected; only a century later.
"We have. Thank you."

I was bad about this. *Most* people are bad about this.
Learning and internalizing nuance genuinely does take time, including exposure to different kinds of people within queer communities.

Request for trans people recently starting out:
When it comes to topics of activism and social justice, please be mindful that there's often a lot more context, history, and nuance to an issue than is immediately obvious. It's easy to be over-zealous.
For at least the first couple years, try to keep this in mind before getting shouty about topics of discourse. This is doubly true when it comes to castigating people or practice, or when you're talking to outside audiences.
Have you ever wondered what you could do with the regular expression filter on each Mastodon channel, but you don't know regex, and every time you try to learn, your eyes glaze over?
I recommend this starting point:
https://www.regexone.com/
It's an interactive tutorial that starts ultra-basic and lets you experiment at your pace.
Alongside that, try:
https://regexper.com/
Type or paste in a regex, and this will generate a visual map of exactly what it does. Essential, even for veterans.
It's hard to pick just one #MastodonMemory but a solid top contender was the moment I discovered the option to filter content using regular expressions. They're stupendously useful!
Now that I've mentioned them, here's a prime example: They may be necessary to filter out all the inevitable follow-up jokes about having turned one problem into two.

Quick shot in the dark:
Postfurry at its core is about pulling the "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" trick on your own psyche.
We already know that unitary identity is a neurological trick, and human consciousness is multi-layered. But our vocabulary for these things is shit.
Living out your furry identities gives you a powerful narrative shorthand for talking about nuanced inner states-- states that would be very clumsy (and dull) to explain in great literal detail.

Take care of yourself today.
The world can be a scary, frightening, and cruel place. I know that.
If you're scared or hurting, if you're upset or afraid, I see you. Your feelings are real. Your emotions are valid. You matter. You make a difference in the world just by being here, by living, by dreaming, by being in the world. Your presence shapes the world around you, even if you can't always see how.
Always move towards the best and truest you, and trust that others see the work you're doing.

basically ~fuck gatekeeping nerds~ if you wanna stick a narrative you relate to into something that doesn't have one already then GO FOR IT.
