Read unapologetically.

Read publicly. Read privately. Read anthologies. Read short stories. Read constantly. Read occasionally. Read quickly. Read slowly. Read history. Read erotica. Read middle grade. Read psychological. Read classics. Read fantasy. Read queer. Read straight. Read the good. Read the bad.

And never apologize for what and how you read.

To be clear, it’s okay to have and love cats but it’s far better for them to be indoor cats. It’s better for your cat as they are less likely to get injured, get into a fight or eat something poisonous. It’s better for wildlife because cats aren’t able to hunt and kill them.

“they” (1 word) is shorter than “he or she” (3 words)

“they” is more inclusive than “he/she”

“themself” flows more naturally than “him or herself”

“they” is less clunky than “(s)he”

it’s time to replace the awkward “she or he”

“hey can you go ask they what does they want for dinner, and when is they coming over to watch movies with they?”

“Hey, can you go ask them what they want for dinner, and when they’re coming over to watch movies?”

Step one is learning how to talk like a human person.

[advanced-procrastination]

We’ve been using they/them/their pronouns to indicate a person with unspecified gender for a long ass fucking time. The only reason it’s become a big issue lately is because it can be used as a semi-respectful term for trans and non-binary folks and we can’t have that can we

These fucks are literally trying to change our language to hurt trans/nb folks, and claiming that’s just the way its always been

Violets are blue

Singular “they” predates

Singular “you”
