Yeah neopronouns arent a new fangled concept gen z came up with btw

[jackironsides]

That wasn't even the first gender neutral pronoun in English. John Trevisa, a 14th century writer, used 'a' as a gender neutral pronoun (instead of he or heo (she)). 'Thon', a contraction for 'that one', was also proposed as a gender neutral pronoun by an American attorney and composer in 1858.

William H. Marshall wrote about Trevisa in 1789, and also recorded the existence of a dialectal English epicene pronoun, singular ou: '"Ou will" expresses either he will, she will, or it will.'

Looking at the Wikipedia page for Spivak pronouns shows a bunch of attempts at gender neutral pronouns in the intervening years too, starting at 1890 (e, es, em) and moving forward.

(Also gen z are being blamed for neopronouns now? I thought it was us millennials at fault? Have they just done a find+replace for everything that they blamed millennials for and switched the subject of their ire?)

[mckitterick]

yup, wasn't long ago they blamed Gen X, and before that it was just "feminists"

generational wank endures

Wild caught clownfish will be like ‘hm you see, the anemone you got me is a slightly different color and tentacle width than the one I had back home, so I will not begin hosting it. I’ll be a sort of wandering ronin for the rest of my days.’ And then a captive bred clownfish will be like ‘ok so I have this curved rock I found and I just sit above it and it take care of me 👍’

this post and all its wonderful additions (look in the notes) is circulating again. these photos and many of the ones added in the notes come from the US Southwest.

right now the trump administration is attacking the public lands in the Southwestern US. most recently (July 2026), in Utah the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments have been cut by over 90% to allow for mining. these lands are sacred to multiple Native nations in the area and contain irreplaceable archeological sites. additionally, the commission of Native representatives who aided in management of these lands has been dissolved leaving Native people without a voice in caring for the remaining land. (read more here)

here in New Mexico, the 10 mile buffer zone surrounding Chaco Canyon preventing oil and gas drilling is under attack. Chaco Canyon contains incredibly old and incredibly fragile archeological sites sacred to Pueblo people. these sites are threatened by mining and drilling. (read more here)

The attack on the Chaco buffer zone is currently in a public comment period open until July 29. PLEASE leave a public comment to save these irreplaceable places.

I think the male privilege debate would be improved if we had a more solid definition for what male privilege is. male privilege is not just "benefits" that are given to men, because cis men experience what everyone should experience.

male privilege is not like, youre being given a little dessert with your meal. everyone is given a meal, but if youre a cis man, you get to eat it without someone putting sand all over your food. you dont even have to think about the possibility of eating sand, ever! but the woman next to you has spent her whole life trying to pick out edible bites of food and getting grit out of her teeth that she doesnt even think about it anymore. the sand is misogyny, the food is life.

male privilege is when you never have to worry about or be victimized by misogyny, and how relatively easy life is without that weighing on you.

with this definition it becomes apparent that no trans person has male privilege. trans men do face misogyny, both before and after transition, and the hypervigilance is instilled in us forever no matter how well we pass or stealth. obviously i dont need to tell you that trans women experience misogyny; transmisogyny is a particularly violent, cruel and insidious form of it that fucks with you severely.

the patriarchy is rigged towards cisgender heterosexual men only and male privilege is not something that can be gained, because it represents the ideal of how things should be for everyone in a world where no one is victimized by misogyny.

once you notice half of all memes are just a picture of a black person with unrelated text over them you really cannot unsee it

[tonysopranoproskater69420]

this is actually horrific right? we can all agree about that?

I'd never thought I needed to be paranoid about the fact that photos I share on social media might be turned into memes in a discord run by JuicyBigNut but that's what existing in a public space as a black person is like! not to mention the fact that they don't even know who the man in the picture, yet we know who first spread it and no one has beaten that guy to death yet

[blackwatersinkingship]

Good news! Whäle shark lämp 🥰

[hollyevolving]

A lot more than 4 of us are impressed

[standwithdaanes]

as much as everyone loves "the power of love won't save us, we need the power of incredible violence" i'm sorry to rain on your parade but we've actually tried that about ten million times as a species, and you'll be shocked to hear the power of incredible violence, without the power of love behind it, is just brutality. the power of incredible violence has been ruling (various parts of, and then the entire) world for the past 5,000 years. ours is not that damn special.

like yes use that gun you found but WHY are you using it? on who are you using it? what would make you stop using it? is your goal to live in a world where every problem is solved by violence, or is your goal to do the violence necessary to live in a world where that necessity is unthinkable?

When I am king, we will valorize sanitation workers the way we currently valorize the military

[thegrindingwheel]

So heroic posters showing trashmen battling allegorical monsters? I'm down.

[draconym]

Yeah but that's just the beginning. I also want Sanitation Worker Discounts at every business and blockbuster movie propaganda glorifying sanitation work. I want random people to salute garbage collectors and thank them for their service. I want drivers who get impatient with the recycling truck and honk at it and swerve around it to become social pariahs
