it occurs to me that the common trope of a drunk person addressing a police officer as "ossifer" would actually be a completely valid word, etymologically, for someone in possession of bones

plural stuff, fediverse meta, unrelated to current discourse, (+)
One of the things we love about the fediverse is that we can use plural first-person pronouns (we, our, etc.) without thinking about it and most people won't even bat an eye. Even accounts that we've never interacted with before.
good morning friends

identity stuff, plural
we're starting to think that rosemary and alaric are either a subsystem or even possibly a single genderfluid person who we'd mistaken for two non-genderfluid people--somewhere in between is likely
i'm not sure where this will go, but i thought we should let people know, i guess?

trans jargon
The "trans" in "transgender" is Latin for "across to the other side." "Gender" means "kind," and it's related to the word "genre."
In Latin, the antonym of "trans" is "cis," meaning "staying on the same side." That's how we get the antonym "cisgender," meaning someone who is not transgender.
In the archaic phrase "to go hither and thither," the word "hither" means "here, on the near side," and "thither" means "there, on the distant side."
Maybe if you were writing a queer fantasy story with old-timey language, transgender and cisgender could be called thitherkind and hitherkind?
is this just a "we legally have to make it expire sometime but we don't want it to expire so let's just make it expire after we're all long dead" thing?

"expires 12/31/2799" what???

On Eldritch Beasts and the "Witnessing this descends you into madness" trope
I hadn't thought of this in words before, but it's definitely a resonant feeling and I'm seriously glad someone did.
Also racists like Lovecraft and xenophobes of all stripes can get fuuuuuuucked
holly starred this and now i'm thinking about fluffy glaceons

hm. consider: fluffy friends

why the fuck is there a bank called "fifth third bank" anyway
-F
i've noticed that we've started kind of mentally dividing dates into "before 2020" and "after 2020"
which we also did with 2016, come to think of it

I wrote a short gift story!
So yeah I promised @Felthry a little while ago that I would write a short story for it exploring the kink of modularity, and I took a bit too long but it's done now!

- It's furry. Also has robots in passing
- Modularity (that is, detachable and swappable body parts)
- Taurs I guess
