Current pronouns: they/them, or she/her when exactly three corvids are present.

Tfw you get an e-mail from a Very Published Person in a field you are sort of active in asking you for your most updated pronouns because she needs to cite/reference you in talks and even though she has only seen you once in the last 10 years she's pretty sure you're not using the same pronouns as you did 10 years ago.

(That feeling is me going omgomgomgomg and then impostor syndrome somehow comes back to slap me repeatedly anyway.)

Also the idea of appropriating Southern culture and having a party where you get to wear The Fanciest Dress so you can be like "hello ~~boys~~ queer ladies I'm a woman now and these childbearing hips are officially open for business" is really fucking hot.

You know, when it's consensual and not because your parents made you do it.

I suppose the problem with capital T Tradition is that it gets shoved down the throats of anyone whether they want it or not.

Consent is kind of important yes.

Coworker from Alabama was telling me about how when she turned 16 or something she had her Gender Oppression Ceremony where her family made her skip school for a day so she could put on an antebellum dress and have a thing to "introduce her to society" i.e., tell the town that she's now available a a potential wife.

I was torn between disgust and "omg I want that except I want my dress to be black".

Told someone my pronouns via Faceboop Messenger and Faceboop immediately started showing me ads for menstrual cups and personal massagers.

Tfw you are looking at lewd selfies on your Mastodon feed while sitting in a chapel (of the modern Christian kind).

I have stumbled upon the corner of Reddit where sad trans kids make hilarious memes to cope with shitty things like terrible family members and I want to be like hello children it's going to be okay one day your parents will no longer have power over you and you can wear glitter lipstick and eat mac and cheese for breakfast and if they don't turn around by then you'll find parental figures and friends who are like 5,000% better because that's what you deserve.

I decided to search for "fox slime" and found this delightful floop and it makes me happy.

So is there like a postfurry brochure? Because every so often I talk to people about gender and they say a thing and I want to be like hello there is this thing called postfurry and it may be relevant to your interests.

It's okay, I whisper to the children, there is good and justice and hope and---

There isn't.

There was only darkness in the skies, there is only darkness in the hearts of men.

But maybe with enough lies, some of them will believe.

And if enough of them believe, it may even become real.

You are not a terrible person and you deserve to be happy.

So um I just had an interview with an NPR reporter and I told her to use they/them or she/her pronouns.

The funny thing is this won't be the first time I am coming out via public radio.

So apparently the solution to my problem was to sleep through the potluck lunch I was supposed to go to.

Good job, depression!

Except now I have not particularly great food I have to eat.

So I have to make food for a potluck in a rural town tomorrow and a good chunk of attendees are (probably) Republicans.

This means that I'm using the shitty store brand vinegar (as opposed to Fancy Ass Heirloom Vinegar Made From Historic Cider Press) and using dried and canned ingredients instead of fresh stuff and oops I forgot the oregano guess there won't be oregano in this now.

Am annoyed that TJs ran out of normal kale so I had to do organic tho.

More about last toot:

1 - so yeah I'm calling it faceboop which is something none of you suggested sorry

2 - I think my current gender is "I'd rather be misgendered as a woman than as a man" or some approximation thereof

3 - boop

I was reading a thread on Faceboop and someone was like "I'm non-binary but preferred to be misgendered as male".

That is possibly the best gender and I may need to steal it (tho not the male part I guess).

No Man's Sky has finally got to the point where the price / feature set balance is worth it so I bought it. (The fact that I needed more distractions this week helped.)

Anyway it's super pretty, and the gameplay and plot are engaging enough that I already have 13 hours put in in 3 days. It's definitely worth it now because it's essentially Starbound with amazing graphics. I paid $20 for Starbound. $25 for NMS is definitely a good price.

Would very much not pay $60 tho.
