"It's (NOT) Just a Phase - The Experiences on Nonbinary Folks 30-70 Years of Age"
I'm forty *cough* years myself and I've known I wasn't entirely male or entirely female since my teens. It feels so wonderful to be myself again instead of trying to fit myself in a box for the benefit of everyone around me.
Maybe it is a phase for you, maybe it's not. But there's nothing wrong with being NB as long as it makes sense for you. And that may be your entire life.
Bee safety information, boosts appreciated
European Honey bee (most common bees found in North America too) will bump into you before they sting you as a warning that they feel threatened. If a bee bumps into you just back away from the plant you're probably near or stop moving until the bee moves on.
Also if you know you're not allergic to them and you get stung the bee DOES NOT have to die, and if you give it a little time, usually 5-10 seconds, the bee will work itself out and fly off and leave you both safe, and you won't have a stinger stuck in your skin!
fun fact: if we're on good terms and i know you're okay with this kind of affection i *will* do the same for you. you might never see it, bc i prefer gushing to people who don't already know what's up since it's more emotions. but i'll fricken gush about anybody i'm in love, er, friends with
tho tbh. in love and in friends is the same thing. friendship is a type of love. im not ever let nobody downplay the value of friends like that. gotta actually get around to writing up that theory tho
have i explained how nouns ending in a work before?
anyhow. so you treat it as though the base word is the greek singular when you're speaking in the plural (-ae) and as though the base word is the latin plural when you're speaking in the singular (-um) and nobody can even call you on it bc theres like two anglophones who know how any of that works
@bryn everyone's racist against Rubbery Men and they deserve our love and support
the last chapter of this book is just four pages, and brought me to tears with nearly every paragraph. it's a list and analysis of people resisting the oppression that is the focus of the rest of the book. and it is some of the most hopeful such analysis we've ever seen
it's too long to properly share on here, but the book is Nobody, by Marc Lamont Hill, if y'all want to read it yourselves
a bug, not a feature.
