God Talk
Okay, for serious, I used to be a pretty aggressive Atheist.
This ended rather abruptly when I started getting Business Correspondence from supernatural entities. Turns out, a Lot of the Old Gods survived, and formed Pantheons that look a lot like Corporate Structures.
Anyhow. One of them is Very Real, and a God you should bear in mind going forwards: Thunderbird.
Don't know a Ton about this god, but they're one of the ones the Natives knew about. I know they're Powerful, Well Connected, and Elemental in nature.
Also, their chosen representation to Mortals is a Wild Turkey.
No, not an Eagle, a Hawk or other bird of Prey. Not even a bird that Flies. Turkey.
The vision was of their King, the Ur-Turkey, the template from which all terrestrial turkeys was Wrought.
Keeping a straight face and appropriate decorum for talking to a God is a Challenge when their Video Window comes up titled 'Thunderbird' and you wanna Laugh because you expected a Bald Eagle.
Also, I'm pretty sure the Turkey was supposed to be our national bird, not the Eagle. After meeting their King, I know why now.
meta, sad, isms and harm reduction
it sucks that trying to talk to people when they do something that hurts almost never matters.
like, at best im ignored. at worst im attacked. mostly people just justify their ableism, and handwave their racism.
only very very rarely does talking to someone actually start a conversation. extremely rarely am I not terrified that someone is posting screenshots of my words to a discord somewhere.
it sucks. theres lots of people out there with lots of intersections and just cuz somebody says, "hey, what you said has kinda harmful connotations" doesnt automatically mean you're a bad person.
it just means you didnt know, and someone is trying to help you learn.

I was talking to someone and this came out
These are my words, but I got permission to show them to the world because they belonged to the person I sent them to first
but I hope it helps others

@Koorivlf You know, plush sheath drink cozies with freezable ice balls would be a convention favorite I suspect...

@RussellTheFox@snouts.online Reshaped mine in neat ways. Estrogen effects fat redistribution, it's why the chubby uwu transbian trope is so well established.
round boys turn into soft girls. and if you're not super concerned with social passing, you just end up looking like a Suuuuper cute round boi with boobs and hips.
And that's a valid way to be Enby.

Tell the people you think are great about specific things you remember them doing and which you appreciated.
The people who most need to hear these things can very easily dismiss traits you single out by internally furnishing evidence of the opposite, but it's harder to argue with a specific memory, or a pattern of behavior.
