Does IS-OT have opinions about pronouns? I've seen most people use "he," does he get mad when people call him 'it' or does not get the big fuss about pronouns?

IS-OT uses exclusively he/him, though it's a later development! he stole the pronouns of the doctor he hated the most lol. once decided, he deeply dislikes being called anything else and is 100% the type to hold a grudge over it

I came up with a possible term for KFF. I'm still figuring out how I/we (system) feel/are in terms of kin stuff. I've definitely said "kin" in a KFF way in the past, but when I've seen the alternatives to using kin or kinning, I get really overwhelmed. So, I've started using this as a tag on my personal system blog: kif. It's basically the phonetic pronunciation of KFF, it's three letters like kin, and it's shares the first two letters of kin, so it's really easy to use and if in the future you discover that what you're experiencing isn't KFF, but something else, it's easy to switch to kin. Kiffing doesn't sound as nice as kinning, but it works as a tag and like when my partner sends me stuff I can just reply 'kif'

I'm still pretty much an outsider to the alterbeing community, but I want to make sure I'm respectful. I'm still figuring stuff out.

Frankly, clicking/KFF/whatever you want to call it is pretty frequently still something that can fit into the alterhuman umbrella if you want it to, but I get what you mean.

I'm not.. personally a huge fan of that alternative, mostly because it's coming directly out of The Thing We Want People To Stop Calling It and I don't love that - my concern being that for some reason KFFers have picked up "KFF" and started bandying it about as, like, a label and, idk, a claim to "kinning" language as appropriate? and I don't love the idea of reinforcing/legitimizing that by directly basing an alternative on it, if you get me.

...but also, you know what, if it were to catch on as an alternative I would certainly not be complaining, I'd prefer Almost Literally Anything Else from where we're at right now and gods know nothing else has been wildly successful yet. If that's what works best for you then godspeed you funky little creature and thank you it really is appreciated whatever my personal preferences on the subject

Wait, is living up in the mountains a thing that fucks with your yeast? I live in Denver and I noticed my yeast doesn't perform as well here as it did the year I took off in LA

yeah! Yeast relies quite a bit on sea-level-ish air pressure to function properly- or rather, yeast *Over-Preforms* at altitude becuase the atmosphere isn’t smooshing it, which over-proves part fo your bread, then it runs through all the sugars in the dough and under-proves the rest of it and no amount of kneading will fix the texture.

the solution, I’ve found, is to use slightly more yeast, flour and sugar per recipe, and if the bread recipie calls for Egg Yolks, to include the whole egg instead.  between the extra sugars and the stabilizing egg whites, it fixes the texture issue.

This is also why bread doesn’t do as well if you try to bake while it’s raining- the lower barometric pressure is enough to dick with the yeast.

My uncle has just come out as a trans man (to my knowledge, I didn't ask specifics) to select members of my family at the age of 51 and is getting top surgery and starting T this year! I'm so excited for him and wanted to share with another transmasc

I’m so happy for him, holy shit! And for you!!

It’s never, ever too late, and it’s awesome that he’s finally getting to do what makes him happy.

Congrats on your breast reduction! Mine was one of the best decisions I ever made

Thanks! I feel like this was a best decision for myself as well 😄

I appreciate your perspective and your insight re: Drake and MBB. There's so much stuff that went over my head, especially that post where the person said that adults shouldn't contact minors within their own family. I had to read that post 3 times before I picked out where they said that, but when I saw it I was floored.

It’s kind of buried in there, but yeah, tens of thousands of people just unironically saying, “don’t talk to your children or your nieces or whatever.”

Like.

Fucking.

Good lord.

This is just such a blatant excuse for everyone to be as racist as possible and as child endangering as possible under the guise of progressiveness.

It’s excruciating, tbh.
