Probably a Dragon

Or a wizard. 31 year old white bisexual nb butch (they/them) in the South who loves making people feel comfortable and laughing at puns. A little bit of a jackass. Learning to be a better person than I was yesterday.

[Description: A divorce lawyer answering the question "do you believe in soulmates?"

He answers: I believe that whoever created the concept of soulmates should be taken into the town square and beaten to death. Or you should tell me who they are so I can send them a check for a couple of hundred thousand dollars, because they have done more to facilitate the demise of happy marriages than I could ever aspire to doing.

The concept of a soulmate to me is absolutely bizarre. To suggest that out of eight billion other people in the world, that there's just this one person, and they happen by the way to live within like the same town as you, where they went to the same university as you - what were the odds of that? And that's the only person you could ever have a happy, fulfilling relationship with. That's insane, folks. It's insane. And by the way, it's toxic. Because here's the thing: when you get married, society essentially tells you, this person, they're supposed to be your best friend, best lover, best roommate, best travel companion, best co-parent - that's a hell of a resume, guy. Like, it'd be shocking to find someone who fits all three of those things.

So what happens when you have this concept of a soulmate? And my partner, you know, they're the best co-parent, they're the best roommate, the best travel companion, but you know, they're not the best lover I ever had. Well, they mustn't be your soulmate then. That means that there's somebody out there in the eight billion people, that they would be the perfect one. And that's what the horizon that just forever recedes and keeps people constantly craving the next thing that might check all of the boxes. It's dangerous.

Look, we break in relationship, we heal in relationship. You're marrying a human being. They're just as flawed as you. They have great moments, they have awful moments, they have heroic moments, they have villainous moments. This idea that somebody out there is going to be this perfect angelic presence in your life, it is a fiction, and it is the siren song that's gonna send you right into the rocks of my office. /End Description]

Mafia boss smoking a cigar: Why’d you gotta squeal, Squealin’ Stephen? I trusted you. Now I gotta send my best goons to show you what happens when you cross the Big Boss…

Guy tied up in chair: uh…theres just one guy over there.

Mafia boss: Yeah. That’s Lil’ Tony. He’s got one of dem conditions where he’s got multiple mooks n’ his head. But when Big Tony fronts you’re gonna be in big trouble.

Lil’ Tony: We actually all agree we’re gonna kick your ass.

it's not frequent enough to be considered a meme or a trend, but I like how every so often this site gets a new "woke mafia boss" variation.

It's time we decolonize the Cascadian volcanoes

[daily-volcanology]

If we can say Denali instead of Mt. McKinley then we can say Lawetlat'la instead of Mt. St Helens. The mountain is named Tahoma, not Rainier. Naming a mountain after Jefferson doesn't erase its true name of Seekseekqua.

One name tells of the thousand years indigenous history and culture of the tribes who live there. The other name tells me nothing but colonialism.

[friendlyneighborhoodseamonster]

100% agree, but how tf do you pronounce Lawetlat’la?

[daily-volcanology]

Lah-weight-LOT-la

[nourgelitnius]

Before everyone gets too excited, please know that not every tribe in the area has the same name for the mountains! There is no one name!

Efforts are under way to try to figure out the original name of the mountain, trying to linguistically trace over 20 names to find the root.

Go ahead and call them by these names, but please be aware they might change and/or that if someone, especially someone of Salish descent, uses a different name, they aren't wrong!

I think it’s fine if intersex people have confusing or seemingly contradictory labels (“AFAB transfem” or the like) or don’t really identify with the cis/trans binary. I think saying otherwise kind gives of the vibe that you think there’s girl intersex and boy intersex, which is it’s contradictory to intersex liberation. I think that intersex people deserve their own time of day a rather than being a pro-trans talking point
