Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

I think about this like once a day

[vaspider]

I have heard a variant on it that I really like: "You cannot hate yourself into someone you can love."

[queerautism]

Even books that don't present bad things as a morality tale, or even a negative at all, can have a huge impact on someone simply by reflecting reality.

I was a huge reader as a kid - It was the classical combo of undiagnosed ADHD + escapism from the abusive environment you're trapped in. But I was quite young and every book I'd read so far included either nice and loving or absent parents. Combined with being trained into a strong, unspoken familial culture of complete secrecy, I didn't know what parental abuse was or that it also happened to other people. I thought it was just me.

Then I read an old book, we might have had it in our shelves from my own parent's childhood. It was about the life and adventures of this little girl in Spain during the 1920s. Probably meant for young teens to read.

It was written a long time ago, and likely the first time I had such a dynamic glipse into how day to day life in the past had been, which I found fascinating and charming. But you see, the little girl was also really mischievous, as many protagonists in children's books are. And during the 1920s physical punishment and abuse of children was really normalised. So the writer obviously didn't think twice about including it.

It was clearly meant to be justified, even a moral lesson for the reader. The little girl was supposed to deserve it. You see, she had acted selfishly, in a way that ended up wasting money for the family and created a bunch of work for the live-in housekeeper/nanny. So she got spanked, perhaps with a switch, though my memory is quite foggy. What I remember most was how she cried, maybe even felt betrayed, and especially my own extremely emotional reaction to it.

It was the first time I had ever seen a parent in any fictional work violently assaulting their child. It was the first time I could see my own life and circumstances reflected somewhere. It wasn't just me, this happened to other children. And I knew exactly how she felt. It broke my heart. I sobbed terribly while hugging that book. I knew in my bones that no matter what, she didn't deserve that, she was just a kid who had made a mistake.

The book didn't dwell on it at all. She continued being a mostly happy, naughty child having small, fun misadventures or problems. It was just normal discipline at the time it was written. But in the context of my own life as an abused kid, it was revolutionary. I internalised the compassion I felt for her, and for every victim of abuse in every book I read after that (Angela's Ashes was incredibly impactful in a similar way eventually), and that became part of what protected me from the relentless pressure to internalise the abuse I was suffering as being my fault.

Literature offered me an external frame of reference outside of the reality my abusers tried to create, and that 'outdated' children's book was like a life raft for me. Children get treated like they uncritically absorb anything they read, but that's not true. They are capable of more, especially if they have trusted adults to discuss what they're reading with, and they always bring their own lives and opinions into their interpretation.

Banning books from schools doesn't help children, and it actively disadvantages students in more vulnerable situations. Yes, even books that don't deal with serious, terrible issues in the way you'd prefer. You never know how meaningful it could be to someone.

If you were handcuffed to your girl blorbo with magical unbreakable handcuffs for 24h, would you be okay with this?

I trust her, I’ll be fine

I trust her, but it’ll be a stressful 24h

It depends on what kind of day we’re having

This is gonna suck…

Til the Fight is Done: A Winchester Noir Story

Characters: Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Castiel, Uriel, Anna Milton, Crowley, Benny Lafitte, Michael

Tags: Noir setting, Private Investigator Dean Winchester, Police Officer Sam Winchester, Canon-Typical Violence, Dean's Hat Haunts The Narrative And Every Single Person Despises It, Prohibition Era (And Dean Is Unhappy About It)

Summary: Private Investigator Dean Winchester's had a string of bad luck and even worse cases - and things don’t seem inclined to improve after the East Side Seraphs hire him to track down his old flame, Anna Milton - disappeared under the waves of a demonic-angelic turf war.

Rival demonic, angelic, and monster gangs carve up the City into something near-unlivable for most humans. Dean's got enough to deal with: an old war injury acting up, an ("alleged") addiction to grace, and too many new dangers for a City already drenched in the worst of it. Worse still: all clues seem to point (in bright neon) to Dean and Sam's bloody takedown of Lucifer nearly a year prior.

The City always enjoys pressing its thumb on the scales against Dean Winchester - maybe this time, it's just enough to bury a hard-boiled P.I. under his six feet of topsoil.

Written for @au-roulette "Detective/Mystery" Prompt

Excerpt:

"How's the leg?"

"Serviceable." Dean says flatly, and bends his knee back to normality even when it barks. "You know how it is: always howls in the rain. Keeps the neighbors up at night."

"I get the picture." Sam says, airing his disapproval thick. "So - what's the skinny you're gonna make attempts to wheedle out from me this time?"

Dean smacks a hand to his heart, leans back in his chair. "Someone drop a nickle to the precinct, I've been bumped off."

Sam doesn't roll his eyes, but he does huff out an amused punch of air. "Dean."

Dean sits up, and straightens his coat collar out. The movement jingles the vials in his pocket, but he scrapes by without his brother cottoning on. "Took a gamble. Surprised to find you here, if I'm crossin' my heart. Figured you might be on your beat, but thought I'd save some heel and check."

His brother's face drops into a nasty scowl, so blistering that Dean almost goes for the shooter at his hip. "Yeah. Suppose you could say I'm riding the pine. Indefinitely."

Dean frowns, "You're benched?"

"Anyone inclined to check papers would note that I'm under investigation on suspicion of bribery." Sam says dully, and he slams his notepad to the desk hard enough that one of his pens makes a successful flit off the desk. He doesn't notice.

Dean lets his brother's temper settle a minute, and gives the room a slant. Some of the coppers' lamps are trained on him and Sam - though most seem inclined to ignore the pair. Dean's made a living on not drawing attention, and is none too pleased to bear the weight of too many crooked eyes. "Did you?" He asks, falling into his track.

Sam's glare coulda peeled shingles off a tenement, and his shoulders hunch defensively. "Go soak your head. Just… certain elements conspiring me to misery. Or boredom." He adds, with a glance at the thick stack of paperwork. "Some anonymous tip that I've taken graft off that gang up North. Azazel's Special Children. It's a load of bunk."

"You always did like your java a little sweet." Dean teases, but inside, he's feeling more than a little unmoored from his dock. That particular slug hits too close to home for his comfort.

"Take a hike." Sam says, but it's more tired than snappish. "It'll blow itself out. They got nothing to substantiate. Just fixin' to burn me up a bit. I'm not crooked enough for the top brass to figure me as reliable, but the Lucifer case bought me a little too much newspaper ink for them to ice me easy. So they're sticking me here to turn to powder." He makes a sweeping gesture at his desk. Nitrogen-fury burning behind his lamps.

Dean whistles between his teeth. "Least my line of work is honest."

Sam snorts and tilts his groomed mug up to the ceiling before he looks back at Dean. "Honest. Sure. 'cept as I seem to recall, you've tried to bribe me near monthly since I joined the force."

Dean scrunches his face, pinching his features into a slight moue. "I'm offended at the very idea, sir. Certainly I have made attempts no less than biweekly."

Yeah okay ill reblog that

just casually leaving this here for no particular reason

[kunaigirl]

You know what? Fuck it I'm adding more context. Sesame Street has talked about the topic of death more than once and it's done with such gentle carefulness without watering down or censoring the heaviness of the situations. It treats heavy subject matter with respect and dignity and has been for DECADES. From the early 1980s:

To 2025:

Hell, they even cover the devastating heaviness of MASS SHOOTINGS without censoring or watering anything down.

They've been doing this for YEARS, and it's ALWAYS handled with dignity, respect, seriousness, understanding, and love.

Whenever I see people censoring words because it "might offend" someone or the big ad companies that are currently trying to run everything? I just want to say to them: "What? Is Sesame Street too mature for you?" Because really...what the hell are we doing.

[kunaigirl]

I'm back with even more examples! Sesame Street once again to this day is out here handling extremely difficult subject matter with incredible care and respect. "We can't let kids learn about uncomfortable things!" Oh, really now? Even though they're things that happen in everyday life that they'll face one day at some point anyway? Interesting. Let's see what else this show has covered that people (for some reason) think should be avoided and hidden. Here's more on death of loved ones and greif:

Or how about when someone is put into the foster care system because their home isn't safe anymore and their needs aren't being met?

Maybe some discussions about group therapy/getting help and support?

Hey look! Here's a segment about gender expression vs taught expectation, including unlearning harmful biases and what to do when you hurt someone on accident because you didn't know it was wrong!

Look! The topic of race and diversity! The importance of unity and equity!

They even also have a more allegorical take on discrimination and being looked down on for who you are, featuring Big Bird. The conflict is about how he's not being let into a club because the one bird running the club personally decided he didn't want someone like Big Bird there.

Big Bird goes out of his way to keep changing parts of himself in order to "prove" he can fit into this club if he just changed enough. The truth comes out though, and there's nothing he can do to gain the approval of that bird. He will never be good enough in his eyes, and Big Bird starts to hate himself. His real friends see this finally put their feet down, emphasizing that you should never change yourself just to fit into one singular narrow idea someone else has.

There's A LOT of different situations this can be an allegory for. Racism, sexism, homophobia, basically ANY form of exclusion is put on full blast in this 15 minute clip. Sesame Street can be both blunt and allegorical when approaching difficult topics, and it NEVER misses or looses the point.

It does an exceptional job in both styles of representation WITHOUT watering anything down. The more sanitized everything gets, the more radical Sesame Street is suddenly considered, hence why so many "particular groups" want it gone. Hmmm! I can only imagine why that could be, in this current political climate! (I'm being sarcastic)

When Sesame Street is suddenly labeled as "questionable" or "politically/agenda motivated" content...it says A LOT about where we currently are and who gets to decide what's "best" for kids or not. Don't fall for the censorship and topic-dodging excuses that are covered by the "But think of the children!!!" movement. Never fall for it, because you know which side you're on if you do.

Sesame Street proves kids can be taught and trusted with learning about these topics when it's handled with the right amount of understanding and care. It shows what all this "controversy" is all really about. What it's always been about, actually.

Don't fall for it, always side with Sesame Street.
