trans woman in need of help, upstate NY 
A friend of mine needs a place to live. She's in upstate NY, near Lake George. White queer trans woman. Willing to pay rent
Please boost, and tag anyone you know who's in the area or has connections in New England. I can give you her discord on request

The best thing about not dating Star Wars fans is not having to watch Star Wars movies
trauma, sexual assault, homelessness
Also weird when people focus on how, supposedly, transphobes treat trans men like poor, misguided women -- which is only really descriptive of a very specific subset of TERF behavior in certain online spaces.
My experiences growing up were more violent?
Most of the trans men I know have been sexually assaulted?
And almost all have experienced homelessness?
When race- and class-privileged trans men deny that trans men experience any discrimination at all, because they are so thoroughly insulated from harm and don't talk to any trans men who aren't rich or white
This is after I've already started my draft, and had to ask for help. Most of the other writers know Markdown, but the PMs don't, and they don't want to work on it via email, either. They want Word online.
It's annoying when I'm working on a file that will be published as Markdown, and a PM or other writer wants the draft in Word because it's "easier".
I have to reformat the text, and Word makes something as simple as clicking and dragging a phrase to mark it as bold into an ordeal.
And I'll have to format it back into Markdown when they're done suggesting changes.
Boomers have recently discovered Star Dew Valley, Animal Crossing, etc. and are complaining, "My kid plays this game to do chores but they don't do any chores in the house!"
Well, they don't stomp on turtles either

The lazy, white supremacist trope in fantasy writing where nonhuman races represent nonwhite humans has a name now: Tolkien Minorities.
That is all.

'you' actually *became* a singular pronoun at a particular point in the history of English. this is not clearly true about 'they', which seems to have been the unmarked, ungendered singular pronoun for as long as the recognizable personal pronoun system has been in place
there was, however, a historical moment when a bunch of 'grammarians' (again: made-up job!) with a boner for Romance languages began to insist that 'he' was a gender-neutral pronoun. this seems to have never taken root in the spoken vernacular, ever

I was reading a thread that reminded me that the Ramones toyed with Nazi symbolism. Dear lord, they suck ass

A friend sent me this and it made me think about that blazingly spot-on thing popstar wrote about tire-out tactics.
Why don't half the people in the new Pokemon have necks
