Oh while I'm on the topic of #literature #recommendation:

If you like intelligent #scifi #read (or #listen to) everything by Vandana Singh you can get your hands on.

She. Is. Amazing.

I don't know many authors that blow my mind on a regular basis but she certainly is one (and N. K. Jemisin another ^__^).

I think you can still buy her newest #shortstory collection but she also has a few stories online from Lightspeed etc:

'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

Oldie but goodie

cishet guys be like "did u just assume my gender" bc u referred to them as men instead of toddlers

the Earth's rotation is slowing down and eventually we'll have to add leap seconds onto every day.

the solution of course, is to increase the rotational speed of the Earth.

We can do this one of 2 ways. We could use spaceguns to fire off mass into the sun in a westerly direction along the equator for a long time. The other thing we could do is drag the mountains to the seafloor, and due to conservation of angular momentum it will increase our rotation speed.

Or we could just add leap seconds.

Today's gender is a small screaming red panda.

Look at my nb wife's tiny aesthetic kitty and boost her.

when i talk to my dog its usually something along the lines of "do you have any fucking idea how fuzzy you are"

“And now... it is my, uh, duty to ask for your hand in marriage.”
The maiden sighed, squared her shoulders. She had been practising her rejection speech – what, with all the time on her hands in her forlorn tower. She had prepared an elaborate discussion of “love” as a notion that... simply was not for her. To her surprise, however, the knight seemed... relieved? He turned to his page, laughing, and reached for the young man's hand.
“Sweet Jeremiah, there was no reason for our quarrel.”

D&D lets you live out all kinds of fantasies, such as:
-Having everyone call you by your preferred name and gender
-Having a big group of friends who do everything together
-Making a reasonable wage as a freelancer
-Being able to murder the terrible leadership of your country
-Getting 8 hours of sleep

i am begging someone to save nessa cause the amount of whitewashing ive seen of her is absolutely ridiculous #art #artwork #mastoart #mastodraw #illustration #creativetoots #fanart #pokemon
